As a huge Breaking Bad fan would be, I was heartbroken to see the show come to an end at the end of September. Halloween (being a month later) was the perfect opportunity for closure on the show. Not wanting to have a spolier costume, I chose to make a Walter White costume from the … Read more
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. When I was a kid it was all about the candy, the trick or treating, the school parties and hardly about the costume. When I got older and became more of a class clown I found Halloween as a fun way to get laughs at school by wearing … Read more
Meet Dalek Caan. Dalek Caan is an elite Dalek and the last of the cult of Skaro. Instead of following the collective mind like the rest of the Daleks, he was made to imagine; think slightly different, creatively even. This is highly unusual Dalek behavior.
