ghostbusters arduino diy

I can’t say whether or not this Proton Pack will actually trap ghosts, but from this brief glimpse, there is one thing I can say for certain: this badass project is sure to score the top prize at Halloween costume contests, and isn’t that worth more than a ghost in a box?

The entire costume–you…

baby yoda costume is a tricky treat [star wars]

baby yoda costume

Treat, or do not treat. There is no trick. At least, that’s what I’m imaging this child is being taught to say for Halloween. The regular ol’ “trick or treat” just doesn’t seem like it would quite measure up to this incredible Yoda costume.

Actually, for seasoned crafters, this little Yoda costume doesn’t seem too…

guy builds daft punk helmet for his kid brother, making every kid on the face of the earth jealous

daft_punk_helmet_1

I only wish I had a big brother like this guy. Not only does he have mad video game modding skills, but Pkmnjunky7 thought enough of his little brother to make him this amazing Daft Punk helmet that looks just like the one Thomas Bangalter has been known to wear on stage.

I’m not sure…

darth-vader-baby-costume

I know that Halloween’s still more than a month away, but after seeing the awesomely cute Barf Vader, I decided to do a thorough research on – okay I hit Amazon. and Etsy. More on that later; let’s just say that most of the costumes will make your spawn ten times more adorable, while some…

If you have children in your life (or are just a Halloween junkie!), you’ve probably begun to notice that retailers are already loading up on the candy and gear, and that means the question of those pesky costumes is looming over your head. One geek mom, however, got a jump on the holiday with a…

zelda cosplay: now for the whole family

knit baby zelda link costume

Zelda fans have been with Link through the ages, so why limit cosplay to individuals old enough to choose for themselves? Presenting the Link costume for babies:

Not that I can say much–my son was a moogle for his first Halloween. And all japes aside, this outfit is beautifully well made. Kind of makes me wish…

geek corsets: imagining darth vader as a sexy (female) beast

star wars corset costume

Straight from the what files come these geektastic corsets designed to evoke Star Wars and Star Trek character, and I can’t decide if they’d make great Halloween costumes, or if they look like something from an adult film parody of the classics.

One thing is indisputable: the workmanship that went into these costumes and corsets, by EveningArwen, is…

nintendo game boy costume plays tetris [cosplay]

gameboy_tetris_cosplay

Sighted at last week’s Ohayocon 2009 in Columbus, Ohio, some dude went all out with this life size Nintendo Game Boy costume that’s actually playable.

The cardboard Game Boy shell is a little janky, but the wearer deserves mad props for the fully-functional Game Boy emulator, running Tetris on a laptop screen. You can see it…

diy group tetris costume will earn you lots of candy

I was looking around for an interesting Halloween costume when I came across this awesome 5-person Tetris costume!

The great thing about this costume is that unlike some other group costumes, you would be very recognizable apart or together. The bad thing is that it looks insanely uncomfortable and awkward to haul around all those…

katamari prince dog costume just in time for halloween

Katamari Prince Dog Costume

Just because you’re an insane video game addict, does it mean your pets need to be subjected to your obsession? If this Katamari Damacy dog costume is any indication, the answer to that question must be “yes”.

From the looks of the pup in the picture, he’s clearly not amused with the whole thing. I’m…
