Defamer Halloween Costume Ideas, Vol. VI: The Icon

Seth — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:41:42 EDT

We realize our ongoing Halloween costume ideas series has so far overwhelmingly catered to the mannish among you, so we thought we'd now throw one out to all you sexy ladies in the house. Some old-fashioned roller skates, a period hat, vampishly red lipstick and an assortment of ethnically diverse dolls are the essentials for this ensemble. See the finished product after the jump!

You're Angelina Jolie, of course! No matter what your body-type or mouth-size, everyone will instantly recognize you as the international, orphan-amassing sex symbol if you wear the signature accessories (including roller skates—her character's preferred method of transportation) from her latest starring vehicle, Changeling, in theaters today! Should you want to drag your own Brad along, simply print out and trace this pattern on his lower back with a Sharpie, add a porkpie hat and some aviators and (if available) a stroller, and you're good to go!

Defamer Halloween Costume Ideas, Vol. IV: The Rebel

Halloween Week continues now at Defamer, where our latest dynamite holiday suggestion is not for the faint of heart. Not necessarily for its ghoulish qualities, but rather for the adrenaline that accompanies living in this dreamboat's body — starring in blockbuster after blockbuster, opposite one scorching leading lady after another, and, of course, raising hell in drugstores and traffic intersections all over America. Follow the jump to see how a carefully coordinated ensemble can make you, too, Hollywood's brightest young star.

You're Shia LaBeouf! For added verisimilitude, borrow a glued-on finger from Gemma Arterton and roam around your Halloween party dangling your shattered pinkie and moaning how Michael Bay will never stand for this on Monday. Or a jock strap, if one of your more drunken friends feels like complementing you as one of the thorny, ball-thwacking orbs from Indiana Jones 4. Then top it all off with a videotaped, homoerotic slapfight. The possibilities are endless!

Defamer Halloween Costume Ideas, Vol. III: The Dreamer

Time for another one of those costume ideas/seasonal mini-mysteries you love so much! Hmmm...What do we have here? A shortsleeved collarless shirt, some black slacks, a screenwriting manual, and an odd suggestion to embed some popcorn in one's hair. Whatever could those daffy scientists at Defamer's Halloween Sciences labs be up to now? Wonder no longer: the finished product is after the jump!

Why an Arclight Usher, of course! Everyone's favorite seat-finding, running-time-announcing cinematic cruise directors make quick and easy costumes that anyone (who lives in L.A.) will recognize and appreciate immediately. For added authenticity, ramble on at length about Synecdoche, NY's Oscar chances and the time you had to ask Quentin Tarantino to stop sucking his companion's toes during a particularly slow stretch of There Will Be Blood.

The latest installment of Defamer's last-minute Halloween costume guide features an idea we guarantee you ladies will have all to yourselves come Friday night. Lucky you: This sultry get-up is in fact one of the hottest looks of the fall movie season, yet hiding in plain sight among action aficionados who will flock to see it next month at the multiplex. Don't let the opportunity pass you by, though — follow the jump to see how a cheap frock and a few other inexpensively obtained features can make you this year's overnight sensation.

You are (formerly) 12-fingered Bond girl Gemma Arterton! For added fun, accessorize with some delicious marzipan finger candy and have your 007 of choice gnaw off each extra digit at key points in the evening — preferably whenever accosted by pals beckoning "Trick or treat!" Why not both?

Still find yourself at a loss for a Halloween costume? Defamer is here to help. Sure, you could be a Texas Polygamist Bride, a Joe the Plumber, or a Sarah Palin, of which we saw several each on Saturday night. But what about something a little off the beaten path? A little...dare we say...Defamer? We'll be sprinkling a few ideas into the mix over the coming days. Every time, we'll arrange the various, fairly easy-to-find components above. Then mosey beneath the jump to find out what the sum of your costume parts will produce!

You and a friend are Steven Spielberg and George Lucas on the set of Raiders of the Lost Ark! If you can rustle up a third, dress him up as Indiana Jones, put a red mark on the seat of his pants, and mime raping him all night. Voila! You're a South Park episode.
