Fandom Friday: Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

No, Halloween is not a fandom, but it’s the theme of the month, so I thought it would be good to share some last-minute Halloween costume ideas. There’s still about a week left, and the weekend is coming up, so it’s perfect timing.
If you’re short on time, and you don’t want to spend tons on buying ready-made stuff, here are easy DIY geeky Halloween costumes.

Partners Erik and Demeter have their own YouTube channel called 2MooglesGaming, where they show you how to make easy DIY geeky Halloween costumes at the last minute. Here are a couple.

Snapchat
Since Snapchat is all over the place, why not make it easy for yourself with this costume?
Scientists
One-up everyone at the party by letting them know, not-so-subtly, that you know your science. Enter the room and let your costume scream, “Here comes the science-tist!”.
Nikola Tesla
Marie Curie
Carl Sagan
As you can imagine, the possibilities are endless. Go as Einstein, Isaac Newton, or whoever your favorite scientist is.
Hancock
He may not be your usual superhero, but you can’t admit he’s as loveable as they come. And it’s easy to look like him.
Dorothy
Be sweeter than candy with this costume. If you don’t have a dog, I think it’ll still work. Just make sure you’ve got those red shoes.
Be a Sim
God knows how much I love the Sims. If you have been/are addicted to the game, then here is the perfect – and easiest – costume.
Taking selfies as a Sim is HARD. Happy Halloween! #halloween #sims
