The 13 Best Geek Halloween Costumes

Still looking for the perfect Halloween costume that really expresses your interests? Well, if you’re looking for something nerdy, geeky or dorky, we’ve got you covered with this ultimate guide to geeky Halloween costumes.

Best Costume Based Around A Wheelchair: Darth Vader Tie Fighter

If you thought wheelchair-bound people couldn’t have any fun on Halloween, think again. This tie fighter costume takes advantage of the chair and incorporates it into an undeniably cool Star Wars costume.

Best Geeky Pregnancy Costume: Darth Vader With Death Star

The Darth Vader with his Death Star costume might not be the most elaborate Star Wars costume, but it makes up for lack of complexity with comfort and the use of the baby bump to fill in the Death Star is just brilliant.

Best Utterly Insane Star Wars Costume: Luke Skywalker on A Tauntaun

We’ve all seen our share of hokey, horse-riding costumes, but using expansion foam to construct an incredibly realistic looking tauntaun with Luke Skywalker on top is a whole different story.

Best Transformers Costume: Transforming Transformer

There are tons of Transformers costumes out there and while most of them are pretty cool, few of them look so convincing when transformed into a car.

18 Great 90s-Inspired Halloween Costumes for Girls

From Daria to Clueless to Gwen Stefani, this great Buzzfeed article has all kinds of great ideas for girls who grew up in the 90's and those who just happen to love the decade. Two of the costumes are technically from the 80's, but they were both from movies girls of the 90's simply adored (The Labyrinth and Beetlejuice), so they still have their place in this article.

While I was always a huge fan of Hocus Pocus and The Craft as a girl, I think I'd much rather go as Log Lady from Twin Peaks because it's hard to come up with a more eccentricly hilarious 90's Halloween costume.

Jamie C and Lucas are costestants on The Price is Right, complete with their estimates!

We got crafty and with just boxes, paint and tape we created Price is Right Costumes.
I see that Jamie pulled a dirty trick and outguessed Lucas by one dollar. Way to go, Jamie!

The Top Ten Ghost Ships

The term ghost ship can refer to a mysterious apparition of a ship when a ship is not really there, or it can refer to an abandoned ship found with no crew or passengers, usually under mysterious circumstances. Both kinds are listed in these ten stories spooky enough to share with anyone to whom you want to give nightmares. Pictured is the Baychimo, used in Arctic waters until it became trapped in ice in 1931. The crew was airlifted and the ship abandoned. However, the boat survived to mysteriously float on its own for decades. It was last seen in 1969. Link -via Unique Daily

I Love The Way You Look So See-Through

Does "Hey baby, how it's it haunting?" sound like your kind of pick up line? If so, you'd probably better head over to GhostSingles.com where you can find the ghost of your dreams -or your nightmares.

Well, actually, that's only half true. You can actually only find love on Ghost Singles if you actually are a ghost -they don't offer any services for human on ghost relationships. On the upside, if you are already dead, you can even search for a ghost mate based on how he or she died or his or her age, since a thousand year old polterguest will obviously never be able to hit it off with a newly dead sprite.

20 Tales of Supernatural Cats

Cats are sneaky, nocturnal, and inscrutable. Most of them are efficient killers, as well, so it's no wonder they've been associated with the supernatural -but are they witches, ghosts, a bad luck charm, or something even creepier? Flavorwire presents twenty very short stories about cats that have been passed down, most as "true stories" that cannot be verified. For example, there's the Fairport Harbor Lighthouse Ghost Cat.

Who knew there were lighthouses in Ohio? This one, on the shores of Lake Erie, began to have sightings of a ghostly gray cat in the late 1980s. To be fair, all gray cats look kind of ghostly. (I mean that in the best way possible!) A legend built up around it, about the wife of one of the lighthouse’s very first keepers having lost a kid to illness and then taking solace in many cats — one of them gray. Which all seemed par for the course until the plot thickened when, about a decade ago, people found the remains of a mummified gray cat at the site.

Read all twenty stories, suitable for expanding and telling around a bonfire, at Flavorwire.

Skull in the Family

J.W. Ocker has two full-size skeletons that are supposed to be Halloween decorations. Two, since one skeleton can be lonely at times. Ocker couldn't limit his time with the skeletons to just Halloween, because when you have two full-size skeletons, there is so much more fun to be had! Ocker made them part of the family, as you'll see in a series of photographs at his site, OTIS Odd Things I've Seen. See the "family" in the car, watching TV, and hanging Halloween decorations together. Be sure to check out the link to the prank he played on his wife, too! -via Laughing Squid

A Leather Dire Wolf Helmet

There's nothing cooler than rushing into battle with you house sigil on your head (as long as it's not in a mocking way like the way they did it at the end of the Red Wedding). If your sigil just happens to be a dire wolf, you'll be hard pressed to find a more impressive helmet than this leather one DeviantArtist Epic Leather was commissioned to create.

True to their name, it's hard to find a leather creation more epic than this. In fact, the mask is not only made with leather, but the teeth are actually real coyote teeth and the helm can be attached to a pelt.

Featured Costume: Woody

I recognize that there cowboy! That's Neatoramanaut Glen, dressed as Woody for our featured costume of the day!

Here are a couple of pictures of me dressed up as Woody from Toy Story from all the way back in 2010.  I am sending two because one is a close up and the other shows off the entire costume including the back "pull string" which was a last minute shower curtain ring addition on the day of Halloween.  Everything was either handmade, borrowed, or something that I already had around the house.  I wore my costume to work and was mobbed several times through out the day by strangers who wanted their picture taken with me.  Several people thought that I actually worked for Disney (I do not), and the most memorable part of the day was when I went to catch the train to go home a group of 8 or 9 teenage girls saw me from across the street and literally ran over screaming and started snapping pictures and each one wanted their picture with me.  That was the best costume that I have ever had and some of the most fun.

Thanks, Glen!

Send us a picture of your most memorable Halloween costume! Email it to tips@neatorama.com and then look for it on the Halloween Blog during October. The best costumes will win a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! We've had a different featured costume from our readers every day so far at the Halloween blog.

Brain Cake Is Scary, But Tasty

FBB1E89G145JL97.MEDIUM

This brain cake looks terrifying, but the process to create it is pretty cool. The brain folds are simply made of frosting and the blood is only food coloring. I think a simple way to make things even more delicious would be to used a raspberry puree in place of food coloring. Link Image Via kiffakitty
