Coolest Ghostbusters Homemade Halloween Costume

My 5 year old son Chase is a huge Ghostbusters Fan. After Halloween last year we purchased a stock Ghostbuster costume online with the blow up backpack. After a year of catching ghost, the backpack had a blow out and would not hold air. So, we decided to make our own Ghostbusters Homemade Halloween Costume.

With several trips to the garage for nuts, bolts, a vacuum hose, parts from the Weedwacker, spray paint, a tap light, some donated wire from a neighbor and several internet searches for Ghostbuster photos, we came up with our version of a Proton pack.

Then he decided all Ghostbusters must have a Ghost Trap. So, several trips to the basement for a box, wrapping paper rolls, black electrical tape, an electric switch and more internet searches we made the ghost trap.

We finished up the costume by attaching a play walkie talkie to a belt, and used skating knee pads for the elbow pads.

The costume turned out so “COOL” he decided Ghostbusters would be the Theme for his upcoming 6th Birthday Party!

  1. Having made “homemade” costumes all my life for my children and me, I so appreciate the efforts of Mom, Maureen. Kudo’s for the effort, safety (no mask)and originality. Whether it’s cooking or costume making . . . . homemade is ALWAYS better!
