I hate out of season articles as much as you do, but this tauntaun Halloween costume by Scott Holden was too good not to post. Plus, I’d have already forgotten about it by the time Halloween rolls around next year (booze). Scott made this amazing costume from scratch. Using designs made in Solidworks, he started to outline the Tauntaun. The head mold was detailed using clay, then a mold was made , then it was cast, and on and on. The horns were made in almost the same manner. Never thought an animal would have a chassis did you? Well this beast does! This component too made completely from scratch and the best bit of this costume? The costume walks and is not a static display. Scott had to fabricate his own stilts to make this beast complete. Good looking, Scott! The costume, not you. I mean, you’re handsome and all, but that’s not what this is about — this is about the costume. But yours eyes….it’s like you can see right through my computer screen and know I’m not wearing anything but a smile and Ewok pelt. Hit the jump for a bunch of the process and a video of the costume in action.

In case you haven’t seen it, this is clip from the Today Show’s Halloween special in which a drunk Ewok humps Al Rocker’s leg plus the ground a little bit. Nice, but if Al were any smarter he would have shot first , if you know what I mean . I’m talking about punting that little bear like a football. Longer, 4:30 video after the jump.

Geekologie Reader Robert went and lovingly handcrafted an AT-AT costume for his miniature pincher. This is a video of the handsome little devil parading around and trying to eat the mask. CUUUUUUTE! And, as an added bonus, I included a video of an impressive two-man AT-AT costume after the jump. SO DON’T SAY I NEVER GAVE YOU ANYTHING. Besides that rash, which, admit it, kind of looks like a heart. Hit the jump for the two-man human version.

18-year old idiot moron James N. P. Miller (because one initial wasn’t enough) scored a DWI (you can’t even drink legally!) on Halloween while wearing his ‘blow here’ breathalyzer costume . Not so good lookin’, N.P. Can I call you N.P.? You know I’m going to anyways. According to a police report, 18-year-old James N. P. Miller, of Cincinnati, was seen driving the wrong way out of the entrance to a one-way street at East Park Place in Oxford. Inside his car, officers allegedly found an open container of Bud Light in the center console. Officers also found what was left of a case of Bud Light in the passenger side front seat and in the trunk. The legal limit in Ohio is .08 BAC–Miller tested at .158. He was cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated (among other violations) and released to his girlfriend. I actually know a guy that wore the same costume on Halloween and try as I might, I couldn’t get a reading. I dunno, dead batteries or something.

That was such a treat, it’s going to make your King Size Milky Way taste like a dump.

This is a cute pair of twins rocking Mac copy/paste shirts. There’s a shot of twin boys after the jump wearing the Microsoft equivalent. Honestly, did you know this was how twins were made? Because I didn’t. I just thought you had to do it twice in a row! Hit the jump for the boys.

Have a spare flat-screen television sitting around and want to trick-or-treat as a giant iHole iPhone ? Me neither. But these two guys did (who, it turns out, are the same cats in this video with their 2007 iPhone costumes), and more power to them. And by more power I mean less candy . GET OFF MY LAWN! Youtube Thanks to Bryan, ViLLaiN, ashlyn and Chrissy, who will be trick-or-treating as total badasses. (No costumes necessary)

Listen, I love the booze more than anything, but there’s no way I’m drinking a curdled shot , I don’t care how much it looks like a delicious brain . I’ve been tricked into it before, and I’m definitely not doing it on purpose. But, if you insist on being grody: bloody brain shooter 1 1/4 oz. strawberry vodka such as Stoli 1/8 oz. Rose’s lime juice 3/4 oz. Bailey’s Irish Cream Splash of grenadine Preparation: Chill vodka for better smoothness. Add vodka and lime juice to a shaker, shake and strain into a shot glass. Using a straw, dip some Bailey’s Irish Cream into the shot. Once you submerge the straw into the Bailey’s put your finger on top of the straw to hold the Bailey’s in the straw. Dip the straw tip into the vodka and slowly release your top finger. The Bailey’s will curdle a little bit due to the lime juice and you should be able to make strands of Bailey’s. Repeat the straw/Bailey’s process to build a “brain” in the shot glass. Add a splash of grenadine to the concoction to add the ‘blood’ to the mix. Down the hatch as a shot. Alternatively, have a friend hold a shot of Bailey’s in their mouth and then add one of lime juice and swish it around. Cement mixer! Puke!
