Same here - I am seriously considering going as "Waldo" from the hit children's book series this year.
Well, since I am at my advanced age and with no children, I wouldn't have a reason to make an actual costume unless I wanted to enter the contest.
I am still looking for the plans I had for a really REALLY realistic "floating spectre" (electronic device for the front door, that appears to be floating in midair and can be seen through. I am not sure I still have the schematics *sigh*

Can someone on Instructables post a cool Daft Punk costume? I'm trying to make a helmet but I'm not good at stuff like that. Maybe pmaggot could seeing as how good his Iron-Man helmet was. Whoever can make a cool Daft Punk helmet on Instructables will be considered a god!

Id look at the ironman helmet, and take some designing ideas from that then get a bunch of reference pics and build away
the arc reactor and the iron man helmet have the same link.

Hmmm... I guess you're right, but uhh... look who's calling the kettle black. Any why, you do have a point and I'll respect that, when I look up zombie in the search bar it dosen't come up with any instrucables, some of those would be nice. And I know that there are zombie instrucables, but for some resone nothing comes up when I search for them.

Oh opps I spelled it wronge nevermind. :) Hmm, what about a reuseable brake-through wall, I know indy mogal has one but it takes a lot of work to reset. If you're doing a hounted house and have to reset the wall quickly, this could be useful, I'll look into trying to make one.
