MMFTW's annual premature halloween costume thread

Pip Boy · 09-19-2010, 03:02 PM

Because I'm sure as hell not waiting the two weeks it'll take for Seil to post it, and because some of us bastards are still 10 years old and have to start making/planning our costumes two months in advance to make them awesome.

Last's year's Doctor Horrible costume was successful and this year I've already got a fedora and old school suit coat for my mafioso costume. Carrying around a real shotgun will probably scare people a bit, so I'm leaving all the fun toys at home and trying to find a replica.

Post your Halloween costume ideas and how you're planning to make them! Consult NPF's think-tank of nerdiness to help you improve it! Most importantly, pics or it didn't happen!

I actually need a halloween costume. Can NPF pick one for me?

I didn't do anything last year, and the three years before that I had a pimp costume that I augmented by sewing feathery boa things onto the arms and legs.

This year I am at a loss. If I had to pick an ideal costume I'd probably do a Starcraft marine or something but I lack the time, funds, and artistic skills to create a costume that fantastic.

What should I be NPF?!

get a pumpkin. Cut a whole in the bottom of it (not the top where the stem is). Cut face out. Put black cloth over face and body. Put pumpkin on head.

Congratulations, you are now me!

Zombie costumes, while fairly common, are easy to make. Just takes some green and brown facepaint for the rotting color, a few red splotches for your wounds, and maybe even some red kool-aid dye in a cheap shirt to make the blood from said wounds appear to run into your clothing.

A year late, yes, but I'm considering the Music Meister. I was going to last year, but stuff got in the way, and I didn't do anything for Halloween. Hopefully, this year will be different.

Find me a stuffed Red Gyarados, and I'll do it.

I would, were it not that
1) I live a small ocean away from you.
2) Pok�mon plushies are more common in the US anyway.
2a) My skills with needle and thread extend only so far that I can attach buttons and crudely patch up clothes, so I couldn't exactly make you one either.
3) It's your goddamn costume!

Google-fu to the rescue, though.

Too bloody expensive, of course. But they exist!

That's cool enough to keep all year round.
