Beetlejuice Maitlands Costumes Won’t Scare Winona, But Should Freak out Everyone Else

If you really want to scare somebody out of their house (or even your house after you are dead) there is no better way to do it than with these awesome Maitlands’ costumes from Beetlejuice.

They were built by instructables member TrustTheStar. If you’re thinking about building some for yourself, you’re basically making two large heads from big blocks of EPS construction foam.

Once you have that you’ll need to cut the foam with a hot knife into the shape of each head and sand it. A dremel is also very handy. After you shape them, just paint them up, add some wigs and black mesh for the details. Also, you’ll need some styrofoam eyeballs for your fingertips.

Now you are a pair of Beetlejuice monsters. Have fun scaring the bejesus out of people, whether it is Halloween or not. They look pretty awesome.

Xenomorph Folding Brass Knuckles: Faceburster

Etsy seller Kilroy’s Attic makes folding brass knuckles designed to look like the Xenomorph from the Alien movies. I wouldn’t want to face a terrifying space creature that thinks I’m an incubator with just a melee weapon, much less one that only works at point blank range. It’s really beautiful though.

It starts out as a ring, but unfold it and you get full-length knuckles.

One drawback to its design is that you can’t switch it between its two sizes in a single motion. You need to remove the alien’s head to lock the unfolded knuckles into place. Also, it’s not actually made from brass – it’s constructed from pressure-cast dyed resin, with sturdy strands of test line to keep the hinges working.

You can order the knuckles from Kilroy’s Attic for $55 (USD).

Dalek Costume Done Right

Over the years we have seen plenty of Dalek costumes. All different kinds. And while most are great, they are far from complete. Sure, they have the eyestalk, those bumps all over the body, a bumper at the base and the required plunger arm, but they are missing something very important – the actual mutant lifeform on the inside.

Well, this one is complete. Costume Works reader Michelle has made the ultimate Dalek costume for her daughter and she is all about the finer details. It not only has a Dalek body inside, but that body is all gross and shriveled, complete with a door to show it off.

The girl inside is also wearing a red dress. Is that you Clara Oswald? Everyone just send her your candy now and turn your lights off this Halloween. It’s all over. It doesn’t get better than this.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Uniform Hoodies: Starfleece

Declare your allegiance to the Starfleet without wearing Spandex with ThinkGeek’s officially-licensed Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform hoodies. They have all three colors: red for command, gold for operations and blue for sciences. I guess the Enterprise had no need for plumbers and cooks. Or technologies.

The hood on each sweater has piping that matches the sweater’s color coding. When the hood is down, the piping makes it look like the sweater has a shallow v-neck, similar to the actual uniforms worn by Captain Picard and his crew.

Marvel Loki Hoodie: Trick or Trick

Thanks to Tom Hiddleston’s crisp portrayal, Marvel’s Loki has quickly a popular character, a beneficiary of the world’s bizarre fascination with anti-heroes and villains. Like the Joker, Darth Vader and the other bad guys we love, the god of lies and mischief has a memorable and awesome costume.

Now you can adorn yourself in his image and show the world where your values lie with Mad Engine’s officially licensed hoodie .

A $50 Padded Muscle Shirt Beats Exercise

Eating right? Exercising? Forget that. Just get yourself a cool muscle shirt from Funkybod. These fake muscle tops are for wearing under another shirt so that you can look ripped and awesome without any health food or exercise. That’s a big win. You need something to hide those moobs and this is it.

funkybod shirts 620x479magnify

According to its makers:

The Funkybod undershirt is designed to enhance your natural physique. Because of the way it is designed, there is a marked improvement in the look if the wearer has the typical visual manboob issues when wearing a shirt. This was not the intended market for the Funkybod muscle top. Initially, it was designed to enhance the upper body muscle groups of skinny to medium build men. After initial trials we found that some of the smaller men had manboob issues which were covered well with the Funkybod muscle top. This led us to experiment with larger men and look into the manboob issue further.

Features of the Funkybod muscle top:

  • Chest plates giving a pumped look
  • Shoulder plates to give a broader look
  • Bicep plates giving bigger biceps
  • Tricep plates giving bigger triceps
  • Feels realistic to the touch

Turn those man boobs into muscle the way nature intended – with a shirt! I doubt that it feels as realistic as they say. The important thing is that it makes me look good to the ladies. Until I take my shirt off anyway. Oh well.

Layer one of these on top to complete the illusion.

TARDIS Snuggie Is Toastier on the Inside

I’ve always thought that snuggies looked silly. Despite how warm and cozy they look, I never found one that I would wear. Until now. This TARDIS Snuggie is awesome. It almost looks like a gown that some religious order of Gallifrey would wear.

This would be the perfect attire for a Doctor Who marathon on the couch, or of course for a convention. It was made by Crafty Lil’ Thing. Sadly, there are no instructions to make one for yourself, but there are a lot of images that you can study before hitting the sewing machine.

She just took a regular blue snuggie and made it into a masterpiece of warm snuggliness.
