Halloween Costumes of the Great Old Ones
By raincoasterNo store-bought Spiderman or ghost or jokey celebrity reference or, god forbid, Paris Hilton In Jail costume is good enough for the spawn of a true acolyte of the Great Old Ones. Instead, why not dress up your child as the adorable and tentacular Elder God Cthulhu? Another in the fine tradition of reverence for the great HP Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos stories, from the LiveJournal of Allistairagator the Magnificent.

Clearly I’ve been shopping on the wrong sites. I only find cows and duckies and such. (Oh, right, and princess stuff. But I just pretend that’s not really there.)

ZOMG! I want a tiny person to scar emotionally by dressing it like that!!
That’s the coolest commercially-produced Halloween costume I think I’ve ever seen.

I’m not 100% sure this is a commercially-produced costume. To me it looks like a green zip hoodie with claw-mitts and tentacles attached. Still, only a couple of hours’ work at that! Me wants, me does; me wants for meself!

There is nothing better than a kid under the age of two in a Halloween costume - because they evidently have no idea clue that they’re actually wearing one and they just go about their business. Unlike my own kids, who at the jaded age of 10 mostly ham it up.
*sigh*

I think I like the little faux claws the best.

FYI I am making one of these for myself this year. Will let you know how it goes.

[...] eerie, I tell ya. Except that last part. This is the costume I’m making for myself this year…a classic? O [...]
