This year, Halloween falls on the best day for a party, Saturday night! That means there’s still a week left to get your costume together. If the budget is tight because your Internet meme idea hasn’t paid off yet, you can always look around the house for crappy junk you were about to throw out anyway. You know, cardboard boxes, colanders, spatulas and your first iPhone.
Geeks everywhere try to outdo each other every Halloween by crafting the worst (meaning best) costumes from everyday items in tribute to their favorite gadgets and games. So we put together a list of some of the best (meaning worst) Geek Costumes for Halloween. You can be a Geek and make one of your own. Or you can be a true Geek and rip off somebody else’s idea!
iPhone Halloween Costume
Looks real enough to make a call! Oops! I don’t like where that send button ended up. Is there an app for that?
iPod Halloween Costume
Too bad it’s not a Hot Geek Chick in this get up. Yes there are such creatures. That “Play” button would be getting a lot more use. The earbuds are the scariest part of this costume. Unless you count the Bon Jovi / Adam Lambert set list…
NES Controller Halloween Costume
Ah, nostalgia. Here’s a costume that recalls a simpler time. Funny, I don’t see any wires though… Did they have Wii back in the ’80s?
XBox Halloween Costume
Okay… this is just lazy. Paint a box black, add a green X and you’re out the door. To make it truly scary though he should have painted on The Red Ring of Death. That’s a sight which will make any gamer’s blood run cold.
Wii Controller Halloween Costume
Finally a Geekette! With those legs she made the right choice coming as a Wii Cheerleader. The poor sap in the box is gonna have a helluva time pouring beers through the directional arrows but at least it’s hands-free!
Game Boy and Beer Pong Halloween Costumes
GameBoy and Beer Pong. At least they thought of a costume that doubles as a party activity. Watch out for flying balls! Only beer goes in the mouth guys…
Control Pad Bikini Halloween Costume
Not really sure what she’s supposed to be. A controller? Console switch? Who cares! She’s hot and we’d love to push those buttons. Happy Halloween!

Check out what others are saying about this post...[...] Halloween is just about the only day when girls can dress slutty sexy and no one can really say anything about it. Am I right? Well, it’s also the day when the geeks show their true inner spirit and come dress as their, well, favorite, uh geek gadget. Hmm. Not very attractive if you ask me. But then who am I to judge? I’m not really in the inner-geeky circuit. These costumes were pretty original and funny and whether or not you love ‘em or hate ‘em, you gotta give them credit! [...]
