I have had a tough time keeping Cockeyed.com updated because all my free time has been spent working on my Halloween costume for this year. Here are some more submissions by readers for the Cockeyed.com Halloween Costume Contest. |
THis is my pyramid head costume. I had most of it done by the time i saw your mention of taking pictures of the process, so i don't have any of those for you. -Ian

 Hi rob, greetings from Norway. Thought I'd send you a snapshot of my halloween costume this year. It's entirely hand made, and it only lacks the proper gloves (they didn't arrive in time). Sorry for the bad picture quality, it was taken with a crappy phone cam. Love your page! Trond |
 Hey
Rob! Hope you had fun last night too. Wanted to enter my
daughters costumes! Younger daughter was an unoriginal Werewolf, BUT
older daughter was a trendy "Weasel Stomping Day" person from
Weird Al's new album and the Robot Chicken Video. The necklace is a
packet of mayonnaise. If you know the song and video it's quite a
clever yet easy costume. "Put your Viking helmet on, spread
that mayonnaise on the lawn, hip hip hooray it Weasel Stomping Day"!
Can't wait to see pics of your costume
finished!
Fondly, Kaye in Kalamazoo

 Hey Rob -I used your papier mache 'recipe' and tips this year in creating a severed arm with my son for his Dr. Frankenstein costume. We were planning on making a whole sack of body parts, but it turns out that first graders are small, and so a sack with one severed arm sticking out was really enough. The sack was just a plastic trash bag over a backpack - also inspired by your costume tips. We also made a container of glowing potion with an acrylic tube (glued shut on the bottom), with some wax paper rolled up inside it for opacity, and a glow stick inside. He took first prize in the sci-fi category of the kids parade! Here's a photo of Oscar in costume (along with Theo, the friendly dinosaur) http://chrisboy.com/theo/fall2006/halloween2006.jpg Here's a close-up of the arm - a little worse for wear after 2 parades and trick-or treating: http://chrisboy.com/theo/fall2006/the_arm.jpg (my son came up with the "one missing finger" idea) Other excellent things about this Halloween: - my car got egged! by kids hiding in the graveyard! with 2 direct hits to the windshield! i definitely feel like a grownup now. - my wife and my mom both were given "anti-halloween" pamphlets (from Jack Chick - http://www.chick.com/seasonal/halloween/tractuses.asp) while walking in the halloween parade with the kids. Rock on. Thanks for all your awesomely useful and amusing web-stuff. - Chris |
 Here is a picture of my kids from yesterday. I madethe Spongebob costume for my 3-year-old with things around the house (I only bought a Sharpie, Tape, and a pair of big yellow socks). The reaction while trick-or-treating was excellent!!! Surprisingly all generations seem to know Spongebob, dozens of people sang the theme song to us over the past couple days of Halloween fun. Happy Halloween, Kellie (in CT) |

Hi Rob, here's a pic of my icy grill costume and a cockeyed-style
making-of page: http://tps12.50webs.com/icygrill/ |
 Dear Cockeyedites, Every year for Halloween, my dad make some big elaborate costume--it's sort of a tradition. This year, we agreed on letting him retire, seeing as how I (his youngest daughter) have decided to retire from Trick or Treating, and it's only fair. Thankfully, he went out with a bang--from the cannons on his costume, that is. This year, he created a pirate ship, which he even stained and clear-coated (yes, it's real wood), and then named after me. I hope you'll enjoy our pictures! Thanks for you time, Ashley Williams
