Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. I’ve been a total slacker for the past couple of years, but one year soon I’m going to properly prepare. Anyway, MAKE is holding a DIY Halloween contest. Participants can enter anything DIY stuff related to Halloween. The qualifying categories are pumpkins, costumes, decorations/gadgets and treat-or-treat (a link back category).The best entry posted so far is this decapitated Marie Antoinette. Seems like a lot of effort. Cool costume though.

Actually I just had a conversation with a friend who wants to go as a clown zombie next year with professional makeup and all. He estimates the costume will cost upwards of $2,000. I love Halloween, like I said, but that seems a bit excessive. Shrug.
