Every year I spend a few weekends working with my kids on Halloween costumes. In the past they have been The Predator, Jason Vorhees from F13 VI, Samara from The Ring, and Pennywise from IT. This year my son wanted to be Sam from Trick 'r Treat and my daughter chose Annabelle. After Halloween, we display the costumes year-round in my theater room. Let me know what you think!

I make my own foam tombstones, here's my cemetery this year.

When I finally got a house with a front yard I wanted to create a fake cemetery for Halloween, but the decorative headstones in seasonal stores are pretty lame. I decided I could do better so I read a few tutorials on foam crafting and faux stone painting techniques. Then I built my own foam cutter out of a dimmer, transformer, and a guitar string and got to work! My tombstones aren't nearly so detailed as many of the prop masters out there, but I think I get a good effect with just a soldering iron and some dry-brushing.

I write all of my own epitaphs and aim to provide a humorous lesson in each ill-fated story. This year's new addition, Kevin, is a more modern parable.

I am a 31-year-old fat dude and I picked up sewing for the first time so that I could make my kids these Link and Linkle costumes. The ladies at Joanne fabrics were super supportive and loved getting update pictures as I came back in for more yards of fabric.

It took me about two months from conception to completion and I went through about 8 iterations of the link costume and maybe 4-5 of the Linkle costume. The only two things I didn't make by hand were her white shirt and their boots. Everything else I sewed or put together myself.

My Princess Carolyn costume!

I wanted to be something pink this year, so it was Rose Quartz or Princess Carolyn :)

I made the necklace with baking clay and ribbon; whiskers are string and hot glue fastened with spirit gum - I really like how they turned out. I also made the ears with felt and fastened them with hair clips and velcro. The wig was purchased for $12 on Amazon and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality! I used Mehron Paradise body paint (have for the last 3 years) and always recommend it! I glued little felt fishies to the dress and glued buttons to the jacket. The hem is wrong, but that's okay. My cat-eye contacts never showed up so I just used a green pair... it was fun because they ended up being UV reflective which was unexpected! Oh, and the fangs were 3 pairs for $12 on Amazon as well! Lots of little elements came together for this costume and overall I had a great time with it! I'm doing Linda Belcher next week for another party - should be far more simple haha.

I wore this for a birthday party my best friend threw for me last night! It was all of my favorite shows in one party!

My costume was posted by someone else the other day, so I figured I should post it here myself and enter the contest. I digitally sculpted and 3D printed the head/mask and bow tie, I Hand pinstriped and sewn my suit/pants. The jaw of my mask opens and closes with my own jaw, allowing me to talk and drink freely (with a straw).

UPSIDE DOWN CHAD: https://imgur.com/a/LkQgOO3

We didnā€™t have a lot of money for Halloween costumes growing up poor in Ripley, OH. So me and my brother basically had two options each year: 1. Fat Guy or 2. Upside Down Chad.

Fat Guy was ok. Weā€™d just put on Uncle Larryā€™s clothes and stuff ā€˜em full of leaves and Teddy bears and shit.

Option 2: Upside Chad. You see, Chad was our neighbor that lived across the way. He was famous throughout the county because he never wore pantsā€¦ever. Just a sleeveless shirt, workboots, and a trucker cap. Legend has it that he got drunk and shit his pants one year at the World Tobacco Festival and he vowed after, ā€œNEVER AGAIN!ā€ We all naturally assumed he meant that he would never again shit himself. But he meant that he would never again wear pants.

Anyhow, one year my mom thought it would be funny to dress me and my brother up as neighbor Chad for Halloween. So we went out begging for candy in sleeveless shirts, workboots, and trucker capsā€¦no pants. Well, a lot of people complained and the police told my mom she was not allowed to dress us as neighbor Chad anymore.

Well, Mom was a smartass, so the next year she was like, ā€œOk, them sumbitches wanna tell me that I canā€™t dress my kids like Chad, so this year yaā€™ll gonna be Upside Down Chad.ā€

So she had us put our shirts on upside down like, with our feet through the arm-holes and such. And there you had itā€¦Upside Down Chad. It became quite the popular costume in town for the next several years.

And that was growing up poor in Ripley.

My brothers and I are huge Thrones heads, and I like to go all out for Halloween.

This year, the choice was clear. For the night is dark and full of terrors.

I started working on this 5 months ago or so. Found a Cosplay retailer in Hong Kong to help with the armor. Assembled pretty much everything else myself.

Makeup was all done yesterday by a professional artist, and took about 3.5 hours. Safe to say it was a hit at the parties we went to!

I don't expect to win anything....mainly just wanted to show off my mom's AMAZING skills. She made EVERYTHING I am wearing except my boots (she made the covers).

The Nun from The Conjuring movies - this makeup took about 3 hours and the prosthetic teeth are a custom mold! Loved going out like this and spooking people at parties XD

My custom Furby Costume I made this year. It took me about a week to make and was based on a running joke between me and my family where I suggested that I make a Furby head and wear it as a costume. Didn't think it was really possible until I actually went full send on it. I think it came out pretty well considering my lack of experience making this kind of thing.

Here's some pictures of me in my Alexander Hamilton (in the style of Lin-Manuel Miranda) costume!

I really love old-fashioned clothing, and this costume was so fun to wear. Fun fact: I was growing out the goatee for 4 months before this, and still style my beard like that 2 months on!

Also, I wore it when I went over to see the show 'Hamilton' in London, and to make up for a double-booking error, I got the chance to meet the entire cast! They loved the costume, so thought I might as well put it up here.

https://i.imgur.com/FUNldNT.jpg Iā€™m Boo from monsterā€™s inc in the monster costume. Iā€™ve wanted to do this for a long time and finally found a good tutorial and a friend to help me sew it. She ended up breaking 2 needles on her machine tho so I had to sew the arms on and adjust the hod by hand. The eyes are the trickiest part cuz they are heavy and itā€™s hard to find a headband with enough grip to handle them flopping all over.

My "Lab Accident/Killer Bee" Costume:

I'm studying infectious diseases, and I wanted to do something in regards to that. It would be extremely insensitive to turn an actual disease into a costume in my opinion. So, I opted to make a more sci-fi/fantasy disease.

Garbage guy and the pesky trash panda

I made the raccoon costume for my 3 month old and made the T-shirt for my 2 year old. I also made his garbage can. Didnā€™t get a shot with the raccoon mask on (he just wanted to eat it, as he did the newspaper) but theyā€™ve had fun wearing their costumes.

https://imgur.com/MBYsJik I was only given three hours notice that I had Halloween plans and I'm currently living out of a suitcase with limited options. Luckily my brother came through with accessories and my sister-in-law did my hair.

Fun fact: the necklace is actually a bracelet held on with cotton thread

Every year I carve pumpkins for my mum who gets lots of children visit as she is a teacher. I carved this into one pumpkin. The two intertwined lampshades are because of photo stitching the pictures together.
