Costume Emergency

I think I already asked this in the official random thread, but I have a weeks time limit now so I need ideas quick. I have a fancy dress party (With drink and all that) coming up next Saturday. I could probably make a costume in that time but I need ideas for unique designs. So far I have:

-Deadmau5
-Part Rock robot
-Daft Punk (That'll be hell to make)
-Suit and Tophat/Cane (Could also go as Anonymous)

I could probably make these myself, so please suggest any other unique homemade ones or just decent ones I can order. Try to keep ordered ones below £50 please, though I'll spend however much I need to create my own ones.

Put a sack on your head and wear nothing but your underwear.

When I saw you had posted in this thread, I already knew what your idea would be...

I don't think many people would appreciate that, or if I would even be allowed in with that get up, but thanks for the offer.

Damn that's an awesome costume. I probably should of specified though, the costumes should preferably be unrelated to Dark Souls, as only about one or two people there even know what it is.

Lol yeah i guessed it would be a no go.

Get a black apron and a bunch of small cigarette packet sized cardboard boxes, paint the boxes to look like a tv remote control buttons and staple them to the apron... Human remote control!

The idea's decent, and I might recommend it to my friends who also need costumes, but I've never liked dressing in anything bulky or as inanimate objects. I remember seeing a **** suit on Play.com that I almost considered at one point.

Thanks anyway, keep the ideas coming!

Ps. Does a Tron suit sound good?

Hulk Hogan, obviously.

That wouldn't be too hard to make either.

And everyone knows who Hulk Hogan is...EVERYONE.

My friend and I went to a Halloween party in things sort of like this once. Both of us bought one of those little tiny one-piece costumes for like toddlers, like these , and we squeezed them over as much of our bodies as possible and then wore nothing else but tighty whiteys and striped tube socks pulled all the way up. I was a fuzzy jack-o-lantern and he was a pink bunny. It was awesome. I went as Powdered Toast Man one year too. Made this big paper mache piece of bread with a face hole and spray painted rubber boots and dish gloves all over grey tights and a red ladies thong. I love Halloween.

Robin Hood!

And make sure you have the "Men in Tights" Theme on an ipod so you c0na play it before you walk in the door.

Lol! NEED THAT NAOW!!!!

Dress in a cat costume and put a big piece of cardboard that looks like a poptart over you.

Lol

Go as the Doppler Effect, see 'Big Bang Theory' for details and how to demonstrate it.

Moltar is another good option.

Sideburns might be pushing it depending on how hairy a 19 year old you are, but get a friend and it's always awesome to:

^Whats that from?

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE BLUES BROTHERS!!!

You may be from another country, been raised in another time, or have a language barrier but come on!

These guys are more famous than Jesus.

If you're going for robot, go as the original robot from The Day the Earth Stood Still:

Another good one, if you know anyone that is a film buff would greatly appreciate. Caesar from the Cabinet of Dr. Calligari. It's not very hard to do either, some make up and a black outfit.

I literally was just shown this film at school the other day. Such an obscure thing to hear about in two different places in such a short amount of time. Especially considering that what I'm studying really has nothing to do with film at all.

Well seeing as I learned about it after taking my first film class, maybe it really isn't all that surprising. Ask your teacher if you're going to watch Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. That is what I'm the most thankful of from my first year.

I can't remember what point he was trying to make with it. It was in an art history course. Something about Gothic sensibilities I think? It's end of the semester crunch time. My brains are fried.

You should totally pull that off.

Go as either Neo from the Matrix or Dekard from Blade Runner, because both of those movies are awesome.
