Neat Homebrew Halloween Tech?

Posted by Cliff on from the costumes-comprised-of-just-cloth-are-boring dept.

aibrahim asks: "I just saw a proton pack (alternate site) a friend has built. It made me wonder what other neat high tech things the Slashdot crowd might be brewing up for the coming holidays. What I am really after is stuff that one of you made, better yet would be diagrams or explanations of how you made it. Doesn't have to be a costume item, anything interesting that fits the season would do." This is a follow-up to the earlier article. So what are you dressing up as for Halloween, and how do you plan on making your costume interesting?

  1. We are borg. You will be assimilated by stuuf · · Score: 4, Interesting

    About 4 years ago (I was in 7th grade), I made a Borg costume. I went to Radio Shack and got a bunch of LED's, wired them to a switch and a some C batteries, and a switch, taped the to a black turtle neck and sweat pants. I took one of those black face masks (for skiing I think) and added a Borg eye attachment, consisting of a jumbo LED, wine cork, and drinking straw.

  2. not an item... a sound by agnosonga · · Score: 4, Interesting
    My dad has a recording of me crying (when I was 2 y.o.) which he slowed down so that it sounded like a wailing monster. Then he dubbed some glass harp music and other weird scary sounds over that.
    It ended up being very interesting holloween music, it still makes me shiver.
