Get tips to make your own costume.
It is not hard to make your own mad scientist Halloween costume at a low cost. When you think of a mad scientist, think of some of those movies you watched when you were younger, or even comic book characters. Let your imagination run wild with costume ideas! Making your own ensures your costume will be unique, so you won't have to worry about showing up at the party looking like someone else. You can find props and Halloween costumes at stores and online, but with the tips below, you'll be able to make your own with materials from home. Here's how to make your own mad scientist costume.
The first thing you need for your costume is a lab coat of some kind. If you are lucky, you may be able to find one at a thrift store or secondhand store. If not, you shouldn't have any trouble finding one at a costume store. If all else fails, a thin, short house coat will work.
To add to the scientist look, a pair of brown, black, or—better yet—plaid dress pants would be ideal. You will also need a short- or long-sleeved button-up shirt to wear under the coat. Black or brown dress shoes would work; if you want to be really quirky, tennis shoes with one shoe untied would really add to your mad look.
Now that you have your outfit, it is time to accessorize. Black, thick-rimmed glasses that are a little too big for your face are a must. They can have clear lenses, or you can even remove the lenses if necessary. Use duct tape or white masking tape to tape the middle nose piece. If your lab coat has a place for a front pocket protector, that's perfect. Add a couple of pens or a calculator to it.
Your hair needs to be as crazy and outrageous as possible. The classic mad scientist look resembles that of someone who has stuck their finger in a light socket. If you have longer hair, use as much hair gel or mousse as possible to make it stand on end. If you have short hair, use mousse or gel to make it as messy as possible. A final touch of gray or white hair spray will complete your look.
Don't forget to walk around your Halloween party with jerky movements and to sound as crazy as possible. Recite math equations or scientific mumbo jumbo to really throw your friends!
