Need a costume for that contest? Need a costume for your kids? I think I can help. Here are some top Halloween costumes for techies.
10 Small Wonder’s Vicky: For those under 30, Small Wonder was a TV show about a robot in the form of a girl. Talking like a robot in this costume will get you winner-up at least!
9. Lady Cassandra from Doctor Who: For those in North America, try putting on a large piece of a skin like costume. See if people can guess who you are.
8. Albert Einstein: He was voted Time Magazine’s Man of the 20th Century. He’s one of the smartest men of all time. And it’s not a hard costume to put together.
7. Comic Book Guy/Professor Frink from The Simpsons: Because few things say techie like a know it all comic book proprietor and a klutz professor on one of the greatest cartoons of all-time.
6. Your Awkward School Yearbook Photo: Relive your childhood/adolescent turbulence by dressing as your worst picture ever. If you were an up and coming geek, this will be extra special.
5. Steve Urkel from Family Matters: All you need is hitched up pants, thick glasses, suspenders, and ’90s nostalgia.
4. Any character from Big Bang Theory: Don’t all go for Sheldon or Penny at once!
3. Steve Jobs: If you even do a half decent job at this costume, you’ll be doing better than Ashton Kutcher did (whoops, did I say that aloud?)!
2. Any character from Star Wars: At one contest I attended, Chewbacca came in third and Luke Skywalker came in second.
1. Any character from any Star Trek: At this same contest, an entire group portraying various Star Trek era won and split the first prize! And there were a lot of characters represented. Khan!!!
