My nine year old son REALLY wanted to be Zurg for Halloween! No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t convince him of something more simple. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy . . . but I think this Homemade Evil Emperor Zurg Halloween Costume Idea turned out great!
We wanted a plastic look, so I found vinyl fabric (which was surprisingly easy to sew on). We also wanted the skirt to hold it’s circular shape, so I used a wire wreath frame and just sewed it into the bottom.
We found a Zurg Blaster online, and connected it to the back of the costume with some plumbing tube we found at Home Depot.
The mask was the part I dreaded most. I found some sunglasses with red lenses, which I popped out and glued to the mask for eyes. I also made a separate head piece, because he was not allowed to wear a mask in his school parade.
We tried to think of a good candy bucket to go along with Zurg, and decided on a little green alien. I found a green pumpkin bucket (used the back), made ears and antenna out of green vinyl, then added three Styrofoam eyes, and painted a mouth.
On our way out the door to go trick or treating, I remembered we had some Buzz Lightyear wings from an old costume so I stuck them on our dog (she was not thrilled).
