I know this is a little beyond the ‘gadget’ premise, but you gotta see it to believe it.  This wolf costume is a one of a kind and was commissioned from Beastcub Creations for a mere $2000.  Obviously the people dropping this kind of cash on animal attire have a bit of a fetish to say the least.  Video below.

Okay, so Halloween was like almost 6 months ago, but this dude’s costume is pretty slick.  Using a portable DVD player’s screen hooked up to a video camera he was able to create the illusion of a gaping hole in his abdomen.  It also doesn’t hurt (get it?) that he has largely used duct tape and cardboard, all cheap components for the DIYer.

Make this into a jacket and you’ve got yourself an invisible cloak.

So Halloween has come and gone. I thought it would be fun to look back at some of this year’s, and the previous year’s top 8 geekiest but coolest Halloween Costumes.

8. Darth Vader Supreme Edition Costume

This is an oldie I know, but always a goodie.  Besides, this is the supreme edition!

7. Facebook Costume

Ok, it’s really simple, but I think they nailed it and who doesn’t love Facebook

6. Metroid Costume

This one’s a bit old, but if you’re like me there’s a ton of nostalgia in this character and the chick wearing it ain’t half bad.

5. Kid Megaman Costume (DIY)

This one floated around on the Net this past October.  It’s pretty bad ass, although I’m sure the kid has no clue who Megaman is.

4. Optimus Prime Transformer Costume

The movie came out last year and it was a bit disappointing.  This costume on the other hand, was not.  The thing actually transforms with a guy inside.

3. IronMan Costume

This thing is pretty dead on with the exception that it’s plastic and not metal sheeting.  Tony Stark would be proud

2. Tron Costume (DIY)

The guy who made this isn’t exactly the pinnacle of fitness, but the costume is sick and even features glowing tubes for that complete Tron effect.

1. Master Chief Halo Costume

Looks real and rugged and that’s what counts.  Sure it’s $600, but what’s money when you have authenticity.

Still don’t know what to be for Halloween?  If you’ve got $630 to drop on an outfit, you’re in luck, because you can grab this Master Chief Collector’s Costume and represent the die hard gamer in you.  The costume includes a quilted jump suit with EVA armor, two piece deluxe helmet, gauntlets and boot straps.

Ohhhra!
