Halloween Costume Idea

[zanefielding]

I am DJing a big Halloween party on Oct 17th. The customer wants me to dress up. This is something I normally wont do but this client is someone I would rather not say no to. I really don't mind but I don't want to spend the money I am going to make on the party but I also don't want a crappy off the shelf costume. I was originally thinking Ghostbusters uniform but it might be too hot to wear it. I want to keep it under $300 and be comfortable and allow me to DJ freely. Looking for suggestions.

Not cheap, but the obvious choice would be Daft Punk.

How about getting some big black glasses, a few fake lip piercings, shave one side of your head, and go as Skrillex? Should be able to pull that one off for under $30!

I considered Daft Punk but I need to see. I was even considering Deadmau5. I tend to play free form and not pre-queued tracks, so visibility is important.

Ah, yeah, those would be a problem then. Should totally do Skrillex then. Get a decent wig and glasses, and you're set! haha

Going a little further, and a bit more my style, you could work something up fairly quick to be the DJ/CD Cenobite from Hellraiser III.

Grab some craft foam, to make a quick mask. Then glue some CDs to a bald cap. Throw on some black clothes, a little fake blood, and you'd be the perfect Halloween DJ.

Norman Bates. All you need is a granny dress and gray wig with a bun.

I decided to go as Maverick from Top Gun. Easy, affordable and comfortable.
