Anyone thinking about Halloween yet? Before you start thinking about this year's costume, consider dressing up as a LOST character. I'm thinking of shaving my head, sticking an orange in my mouth, and going as John Locke.
-Bonnie Covel
Want to dress up like your favorite LOST character this Halloween? Are you partial to Locke’s scar, Claire’s pregnant belly, or Richard’s guy-liner? Since you are dressing like a person (versus a wildly animated characterization), start by choosing a character you physically resemble. You want everyone to recognize exactly who you are! Think of accessories you can use … for example, Craigslist and eBay offer items like Dharma Initiative jumpsuits, and motor pool or Orchid station security patches to better define your look. With an abundant selection of LOST symbols to choose from, you’re sure to find something definitive for your costume this season.
About.com’s Bonnie Covel has a great list of twenty-four inspirational ideas for LOST-themed Halloween costumes. Check it out.
Lost-Media also has a humorous take on the LOST costume guide for Halloween:
On a Halloween budget? Instead of dressing like a LOST character, you can take tips from one. Actor Jorge Garcia (Hurley) shows you how he makes his own Halloween costumes.
And speaking of Hurley … are you more interested in decorating than dressing up? Then slap some Dharma labels on your canned-goods and visit this link to download the PDF of your very own ‘Hurley’ pumpkin carving template!
Happy Halloween, LOSTies!
