the real ghostbusters… halloween costume

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…

bloody-brain-shooter

We already showed you how to make zombie cupcakes (actually I just gave you a link to the actual instructions, but you know what I mean). Now here’s the perfect partner to that brainy pastry – the Bloody Brain Shooter.

The brain-like goo in this case is just Bailey’s Irish cream. It ends up like…

game pumpkin goodness doesn’t stop at zelda

Earthworm Jim, Pumpkin-style

Fred Fisher isn’t the only game-loving pumpkin carver out there that’s handy with an x-acto knife. Over on Deviant Art, user “ceemdee” posted a veritable cornucopia of video game art carved into pumpkins on her DA gallery.

I kid you not when I say “cornucopia” – there are video game pumpkins a-plenty, and they range…

zombie-food-1

Hey man, want some fresh news? Look at our other posts then, ’cause this one’s quite old. Still awesome though: Flickr user xsomnis made these cupcakes a couple of years ago, and she was kind enough to post instructions on how to make them as well. Without further ado, behold! The smartest cupcakes on Earth!…

dark side, light side, pumpkin side [star wars]

star wars pumpkins halloween

Pumpkins are certainly versatile gourds. Carve ‘em, cook ‘em, or just leave ‘em sitting around–they’re a useful fruit. Pumpkin sculpture? Sure, that could make sense. But a pumpkin Star Wars sculpture? It’s a whole new world for pumpkins.

Well, that’s one way to market your crafty supplies. One awesome way. I think I just officially got over…

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…

motorized-twitching-guts-1

Want to make something really special for Halloween? And by special I mean extra gross. Checkout Gothic Nightmare’s prop tutorials, particularly the one with the twitching legs, complete with blood red innards.

I sure am glad I wasn’t eating when I saw this, or else I might have puked my own insides out. Actually I…

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…

You know how all the vampires on True Blood drink bottles of artificial blood so they don’t have to get their nutrients from sucking on humans? Now you can enjoy the same trendy-vampire pleasure by guzzling down a bag of deliciously drinkable BLOOD.

for foodie gamers on halloween

jello metroid food halloween

Halloween-party-throwing foodie gamers – is that a demographic? If so, folks, it’s your day. If you have been dying to suck the sugar-force from a gelatinous Metroid, don’t worry. You’re covered.

Strawberries, green jello, apple… and no strong stomach required. For something that shouldn’t be appetizing, this really is. Delicious backfire!
This, though… not so…
