The Thing's Mac Ready Costume

macready_thething_costume.jpg

I never knew The Thing was such a cult hit. You'd have to spend the whole Halloween party telling people who you were but that'd fine you look bad ass. Next time try Snake Pliskin as that's a more recognizable Kurt Russel character

Half Life Freeman Costume

freeman_halflife_costume.jpg

Point for effort on this Half Life costume. If the crotch didn't look like a nappy you could almost walk around without feeling like a complete twat. Then again no one gives you shit when you carry around a crowbar.

Samuari Showdown Bishamon Costume

samuari-Showdown-Bishamon-c.jpg

Let this be a lesson to all people dressing up this Halloween. Make your costume so bad ass they people are just afraid to ask where it'd from. If they do ask just yell loudly "A SAMUARI NEVER REVEALS HIS NAME" and run away with sword in hand.

If you're thinking of making a Katamari Damacy Costume this Halloween just remember, someone has already done it better than you. The above is a mix of the inspired and the scary. Remember it the only costume you can play with your balls and get away with it.

Marie Antoinette Headless Costume

marie-antoinette_headless_d.jpg

Truly inspired! It's people like this that make everyone else's costume look crap. You can also make this crass joke without getting in trouble: "Do you give good head?"

Here's a step by step guide on how to make it on as featured in Make magazine.

Also check out Nicole's blog to see a preview of her costume for 2007. This is looking just as good.

Ice Man Costume

iceman_costume.jpg

There is a fine line between a good looking costume and something that looks like an S&M restricting outfit. This one for Iceman falls to the latter. This is not one person you want to let take your kids trick or treating with.

Giving Birth Costume

birthing_costume1.jpg

Uncomfortable yes but worth the effort if you really want to offend people. You do not want to eat pudding while in this costume.

If this isn't offensive enough for you you can try this one for size.

Penis Costumes

giant_penis_csotume.jpg

Notice how no one else is in costume in this photo. This is what happens when you lose a bet and have to spend an entire semester at college dressed like this.

penis_costume_warts.jpg

Why go just as a penis when you can go as a VD. Great posters, they must subscribe to Student Decorating Weekly.

mattress_penis_costume.jpg

If my penis had black rings around it like this costume depicts I'd be worried. He's one worried looking penis.

This is the Rolls Royce of penis costumes. Accept no substitute when you go to your local costume dealer.

Hellboy Costume

hellboy_costume.jpg

Getting badly sunburnt doesnt mean you have to give up on Halloween costumes as this Hellboy costume shows. Kick ass.

Priest with Kid Costume

This is one costume that requires a double take to fully take in it's genius. I'm referring to the one on the left not the faux fur coat with feather boa.

Crappy Ninja Turtles Costumes

ninja_turtles_costumes.jpg

Those are the worst tin foil sais I have ever seen. And those turd nun chucks are embarrassing.

In The Red Riding Hood Costume

redridinghood_costume.jpg

Only a man can think up such a tasteless costume. Either this is meant to be Red Rising Hood or John Bobbitt having a nightmare.

Pink Cat Costume

pinkcat_costume.jpg

A costume like this is quite hard to pull off and you have to give the girl props for trying. Next time try Thelma from Scooby Doo.

Swiss Army Knife Costume

swiss_army_costume.jpg

This is one costume where you not only look like a tool you actually are one. Get yours now for under $50.

Naked Spiderman Costume

naked_spiderman_costume.jpg

This could have worked just as well with underpants on. In fact I'll go as far to say it may have worked better. Just don't fling your web substance at me OK.

Pac Man Costume

pacman_costume.jpg

Get the hell out of there Pac Man the ghost isn't blue.

Paine from Final Fantasy Costumes

final_fantasy_costume.jpg

Not bad for a video game heroine.

Chun Li Costume

chun_li_costume.jpg

Centaur Costume

B Man Costume

b_man_costume.jpg

So much can be said here I don't know where to start. All I can do is direct your attention to B Man's camel toe.

Dirty Smurfs & Sexy Maids

dirty_smurf_costume.jpg

Give the glasses to the other Smurf as he needs them! She probably smurfed him right in the smurfing parking lot.

And if you needed more proof that Smurfs are sex starved blue balling dudes then check the photo below. Check what Brainy Smurf's packing.

Dragon Ball Z Hair

dragonball_z_hair.jpg

If your Dragon Ball Z halloween costume doesn't have kick ass hair like this then please toss it in the bin and choose something else as this is the standard people expect. It's like the manga Dennis the Menis.

Samuari Winne the Pooh Costume

killer_pooh_costume.jpg

Ever start a Halloween costume and then change your mind half way through? But you have already invested so much time in the costume you just work with what you've got as a base for a totally different costume? Yeah me neither.

Sexy Juicy Burger Wench Costume

juicy_burger_costume.jpg

Even a vegetarian would have a hard time refusing a coupon from this burger establishment.

Here's her photos on Flickr.

Here she is topless in the next photo!?

Homer Simpson Costumes

homer_simpson_costume_1.jpg

homer_simpson_costume_2.jpg

The Simpson's seem like an easy one for Halloween costumes. But don't be fooled it can easily be done badly like below.

simpsons_family_costume.jpg
I don't know what's worse the costumes or the curtains.

no_neck_homer.jpg
This is the homer that skins you alive and uses your skin for his tie collection.

crap_homer.jpg
Why even bother with the face make-up? Your costume sucks ass. And yes I'm talking to both of you.

Uncomfortable R2D2 Halloween Costume

r2d2_costumes.jpg

You'd be angry too if you spent all the time on your costume onto the realize you can't fit in the bloody thing. At least he doesn't have to get out of his costume to go to the toilet.

Sex with Sheep Halloween Costume

sheep_sex_costume.jpg

Almost as tasteful as the Jesus in the background. I also hope that's the sheep's legs and not his dropped gonads.

Shaved Head Costume

hair_face_costume.jpg

Sometimes an idea comes together so well you cant help but stand back and admire the good work. Just make sure to cut eye holes in your jacket.

Orgasmo Costume

orgasmo_costume.jpg

There's some movie characters that should never be made into a Halloween costume.

Stromtrooper Mashup Costumes

stormtropper_detective.jpg

elvis_stormtrooper_costume.jpg

Thankfully Star Wars nerds are smart enough to know how to mix two costumes in one and pull it off. Here we see an Alvis Stormtrooper and a Sherlock Holmes Storm Trooper combo. Both saved on the most expensive part of the costume, the helmet.

AT-AT Star Wars Costume

at-at_costume.jpg

at-at_costume_2.jpg

Always invite engineering students to your fancy dress party. Chances are they'll put together something totally kick ass and make your party a hit. They'll also drink less beer than most people and won't be any competition when it comes to scoring.

View the full Flickr set on it being built here.

20 Sided Die Costume

20sided_die_costume.jpg

Sadly this guy rolled a zero.

Kiss my shiny tin foil ass.

Some parents have too much fun with their babies.

This guy was so popular they made a bobble head out of him.

Shredder Costume

shredder_costume.jpg

Meet the one guy who was annoyed Shredder wasn't in the latest TMNT movie. The sparkly blue suit was a hand me down from a "flamboyant" uncle.

Sexy Green Metroid Costume?

sexy_metroid_costume.jpg

I originally thought this was a Metroid costume but now after actually checking online I have no idea what it is.

But let this be a lesson to all women. Costumes make you look sexier. If you want to get noticed just wear this all the time.

Aliens Powerloader Costume

powerloader_aliens_costume.jpg

This is the kind of costume that will have the entire office talking about you for years to come. In fact the CEO will get on this knees and pray to your awesomeness. And if this is your CEO then pledge your unworthiness.

Here's the creators blog and more photos.

Evil Ronald McDonald Costume

ronald_mcdonald_from_hell_c.jpg

Your kids will never want to eat at McDonald's again after having this maniac visit them during Halloween. You want brains with that?!

Shark Mouth Creature Costume

shark_head_killer_costume.jpg

Who TF knows what this is but it kicks ass. It's like something from an early Peter Jackson film or a GWAR stage show.

The Shining "Here's Johnny" Costume

heres_johnny_costume.jpg

10 points for movie choice. I would have chosen the scene where Jack has it off with the zombie like old lady but that's because I'm freaky that way.

Kick Ass Master Chief Costumes Halo

kickass_halo_costume.jpg

With hair this gelled I guess you don't need a helmet.

kick_ass_kids_halo_costume.jpg

Hats off to this kids parents. The costume's even cooler on a little kid.

halo_carboard_costume.jpg

This one was made for just $30 from cardboard. See the making of here.

halo_blue_costume.jpg

Master Chief costumes also come in blue for those who don't like to wear green.

master_chrief_red_girls_cos.jpg

But if you want to get the girls try for a red Master Chief costume.

Note: Unless you have a lot of money or know someone who's a professional costume designers don't even attempt to go out this Halloween as Master Chief. As these photos show you're costume is going to pale in comparison to these kick ass examples.

NSFW Female Warrior Costume

nsfw_costume.jpg

The next time your partner asks you to dress up in order to "spice up the relationship" just make sure they don't have something like this in mind.

November 1, 2007

Baby Alien Chest Burst Costume

alien_chest_burst_baby.jpg

I can't decide which is funnier, the costume or the baby's expression.

Giving Birth Costume 2

birthing_costume.jpg

There is a fine line between genius and absurd. This one definitely falls into the latter. This is probably more offensive than the previous giving birth costume which requires 2 people to pull off.

Bloody Ninja Sanitary Pad Costume

black_belt_pad_costume.jpg

If you really want to stand out at a Halloween fancy dress party you need a few things;

1: An original idea
2: Craft skills to actually see the idea come to life
3: Attitude to make the costume work

What you see above is all three together but for all the wrong reasons.

Dark Helmet Costume

darth_helm.jpg

Spaceballs is one of my fav films. Not that I want to see it again as it will ruin the image of the film I have in my head. This costume not only ticks the "Well constructed" box but also ticks the "no one will know its me" box too.

Bioshock Big Daddy Costume

bigdaddy_bioshock_costume.jpg

Remember the time you had a killer idea for a Halloween costume, spent over a month putting it together slaving over every detail. Then it comes to the big night and some smart ass shows up in a huge Big Daddy costume from a popular game and it shits all over your costume. No one even remembers your costume which now sits in the basement. I'd certainly take this costume over the Master Chief ones any day.

See the making of photos here.

Here's an interview with the creator.
