I had this idea for a Wall-E costume with moving parts for about a year and it ended up being pretty good and winning a couple of competitions. I’ve seen some Wall-w’s on here but none that moved their arms, hands, head and on wheels, so I thought I’d give it a go.. It comes in 5 … Read more
After building several other large originals thru the years, I thought how about the one costume that has it’s own song but rarely ever seen ? It’s an oldie but a goodie, throw back Halloween, the Monster that started it all, the 1 eyed, 1 horned, flying purple people eater. So I listened to the … Read more
This fire breathing dragon costume may very well be the tallest costume in America if not the world, standing an astonishing 18 feet tall, with a wingspan of about 18 feet as well, a ten foot long tail which functions like a real tail for counter balance. I’m on stilts and have indoor pyrotechnics in … Read more
I wanted to make a challenging costume this year, and my roommate, Gregg, came up with the concept of Jesus riding a Raptor. The idea was funny and poignant [and potentially offensive] enough to be worthy of the effort. Additionally, it presented an opportunity to sculpt/create a large-scale creature, which was something I wanted to … Read more
I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan. I’ve made this costume several times but it never looked very authentic. So during a recent trip to Disney World I finally got myself an Indiana Jones hat! Yay! That’s just what the costume needed. The bag and the whip I purchased online. The bag came as a kit … Read more
I found some ideas online for a Halloween costume for my son that was made from plywood turning a regular radio flyer wagon into a mouse trap just big enough for my 10 month old mouse. I work at Lowe’s so one day after work I went and picked up some plywood, PVC pipe, spray … Read more
My costume for the Halloween 2013 this year was Yoshi Mario Kart from the popular Nintendo game series. Over the years since the game came out I have seen a few cardboard Mario Kart costumes, but never a full sized kart like featured in the game. I decided I would make two costumes in one … Read more
I built and wore the Angel of Death Grim Reaper Costume for the 2013 NYC Halloween Parade. I wanted the Reaper to appear to be walked out of the fires of hell still simmering. I made the wings with real medical grade human plastic bones and bamboo. I used latex and cotton for the wings … Read more
This Mass Dead Space Effect costume all started one day when I was playing Dead Space 3 and I was getting bored. My gamer score was off the charts but I realized that I could be doing something more productive than playing games all day. My girlfriend the previous day had been talking about Cosplay and … Read more
My daughter has always loved the air dancer, fly guy promotional fan powered advertising ‘things’ outside car dealerships and the like, She calls out “Look a Funny Guy!” every time we see one.

My 9 year old son, Jet, recently developed a love for Lego, and we were trying to come up with a costume that reflects his current interest (a goal every year). He was considering between Iron Man (but he didn’t want to look like everyone else, and I didn’t want to spend $40.00), Nerf guy … Read more
