MIT student Tyler Christensen went and made himself a dual-resonant solid state Tesla coil , then strapped that sucker to a hat and pumped the Mortal Kombat theme through it. Unfortunately, it broke the night before Halloween, leaving him no other option but to go trick-or-treating as his backup, “guy with a bomb on his head.” Hit the jump for a video of the hat in action.

Geekologie Reader Monta lives out in the boonies and doesn’t decorate his house for Halloween because nobody would see it (plus houses out in the sticks are usually scary enough). So what did he do? Constructed a mechanical monster that hides in the trunk of his car and opens the lid to peek out at the cars behind him at red lights. Hoho — bringing Halloween to the people, I’ll allow it. As a matter of fact, my brother actually has a pretty sweet Mercury Grand Marquis, I’ll see if I can’t convince him to do something similar. Hey Frank — what do you say we install a monster in the trunk of your car? “Absolutely f***ing not.” Let me use it for a car chase scene I’m filming? Hit the jump for a short video of the monster in action.

This is Geekologie Reader Owain’s killer robot Halloween costume. He’s particularly proud of it because he found a way to still drink while wearing a mask . Clever, Owain. I mean I’m still gonna kill you, but clever. Picture

? Todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay is the greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatest daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I’ve ever knoooooooooooooooooooooown ? See what I did there? It f***ing sucked, I know. This is a video of a bunch of pumpkins being smashed shot at 1,000 FPS set to some creepy-ass music. It’s Halloween weekend, so I thought it would be appropriate . Also: making a lot of fake blood , getting drunk, then passing out in it on the kitchen floor to scare my roommate when he got home. Long story short I got way too drunk, was unresponsive, he freaked out, called the police, they came, woke me up with smelling salts and busted me for weed. So yeah, Halloween’s off to a great start. For everyone celebrating this weekend INSTEAD OF ON ACTUAL HALLOWEEN, have fun, be safe, rot your teeth out with candy and I hope you all go home with the Harley Quinn of your dreams/ Ninja Turtle of your fantasies . I should be around in between witch’s brews so I might throw a couple posts up. Ooooooor just a bunch of mini candy bars (probably Snickers & Kit-Kats). Hit the jump for the damn I need that song on my iTunes.

This is the world’s largest pumpkin (1,818.5-pounds — not actually a ton like I said in the title because I’m a dirty liar) carved into a giant zombie scene by pumpkin impaler Ray Villafane. Impressive, right? WRONG. Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage was at least four times that size and you could ride in it . “That was just a fairy tale.” Was it? Then how do you explain…THIS?! “A buttplug?” No dummy, it’s Cinderella’s ass slipper. “Please tell me you’re joking.” I kept it in for a week straight — Prince Charming’s mine! Hit the jump for a bunch more.

Ben Heck, modder extraordinaire , went and created a Portal t-shirt. I assume for Halloween, but possibly just for fun. It’s almost identical to this guy’s “hole through the chest” shirt, except that one doesn’t have a Portal theme, making it forgettable at best. What was I just talking about? Exactly. Hit the jump for an entirely-too-long 17-minute video of the shirt from conceptualization to building to finished product.
In the spirit of Halloween I’ll forgive the father responsible for dressing his young, impressionable child up like Robocop and taking pictures of him patrolling around Detroit. But just for the weekend. Come Monday this sort of thing isn’t cool anymore. And speaking of not cool anymore — I’m pretty sure the air conditioner in my bedroom broke back in June. I still turn it on though because I like the rattling sound it makes. Helps me sleep at night. Also, drinking a lot right before bed. Sorry if I’m not making any sense right now I drank a fat man’s weight in booze last night and I’m hair of the dogging it this morning to make my head stop pounding. I might have already had too much. Just kidding, there’s no such thing. You know how much Halloween candy I’m gonna eat this weekend? All of it. Hit the jump for several more, and a link to even more of the candy magnet in action.

Apparently these costumes have been around for a while now but I didn’t know because I don’t have any business shopping for Darth Vader baby get-ups (I just sign the child support checks). But Geekologie Reader Tengku Edzuan decided to take a different approach to child rearing and bought this costume for his son. That’s him there. Cute, huh? BUT DON’T EVEN THINK FOR A SECOND HE’S NOT ALL DARK SITH LORD , because he 100% is. I heard one time he caught a stuffed animal eying his binky and Force choke-slammed that sucker into a pile of alphabet blocks. Brutal! Barf Vader [edzuantengku] and Product Site
If so, you’re in luck because the $70 Jabba the Hutt Supreme Edition costume is just that. Jesus, I’d hate to see what the non-supreme edition looks like. Become one of the richest gangsters of a Galaxy Far, Far Away with the Jabba the Hutt Supreme Edition Costume! This full-body costume will transform you into the famous Hutt with a body piece (complete with tail), headpiece, and a battery-operated fan to keep you cool. Ha, I’ve got news for you: no amount of fans is gonna keep you cool if you buy this costume. Unless you somehow finagle some Princess Leia cosplay action out of the deal, in which case, I’m in. Now, GW the Hutt needs some bikini-clad slaves. Ladies? Product Site via Jabba the fursuit [boingboing] Thanks to Mark, who once bounty hunted the last dinosaur and broke my heart in the process.
