If at all possible, I do this with my Darth Vader and Tusken Raider, use a ipod and a newton 6 watt amp. The ipod you can put on repeat and the newton amp is loud enoud without the distortion to deliever the sounds a good distance.
Many thanks DHB- I will definitely check out your work!
As much as I'd love to have sound rigged up for my costume by 7/10, I don't think it's going to happen. But at least this gives me hope for another date like Halloween.

I'm going to use one of these sound modules from Radio Shack to play the Predator clicking noises. It records up to 20 seconds of sound, and while it can't play multiple different samples, at least it's only one button to operate. This would also be quick enough to do if you don't have time for one of the more complicated builds.

After calling 4 Radio Shack's, I finally found a place that had a few in stock, and I was sure to buy TWO of them (that's all I need is for one to break).
