Well it's come to that time of year again where I need to decide on a Halloween costume.
To recap: Last year I went as Starkiller, Darth Vader's Apprentice from The Force Unleashed. The year before that I was The Doctor.
As for this year I've a few ideas I'm toying with. The first is The Lone Wanderer from Vault 101, from Fallout 3. All this would require is stitching a yellow 101 onto the back of my work boilersuit. Oh and making a Pip-Boy 3000 out of cardboard. Simples! Only problem is the obscurity of the reference, despite Fallout 3 being the game of the year 2009.
My next idea was Captain Jack Harkness. My Doctor Who costume went down well 2 years ago, so could continue the theme. Just bought a coat from the Salvation Army that could pass as Jack's, although it's slightly darker blue. Since I've already got the shirt, boots and toy pistol, all I need to complete the look is his Deus Ex Machina, the Vortex Manipulator, which is a tenner in Forbidden Planet.
The third option I'm thinking of is Marcus Wright from Terminator Salvation. This would use the same coat as Cpt Jack. The only sticking point with this is to get the Terminator endoskeleton look right. I know you can buy official stick on patches, but they're quite expensive for all you get. Have experimented with tinfoil but doesn't look all that good...
So that's what I'm thinking so far and I've got a day and a bit to sort it out!
