Every year, come Halloween, the geeks are out in force showing off their favorite geek subjects with their costumes. I have put together ten of the best (or worst perhaps) geek costumes for Halloween. Enjoy!
1. Darth Vader
This is where it all begins. Chances are, the kid in this photo is the star of one of the other nine below, but grown up.
2. iPod
You won’t believe (well – maybe you will) how many iPod Halloween costumes I saw in my search. Tres original guys. Not!
3. Rubik’s Cube
At least he was able to solve it before he got inside I guess.
4. XBox
This guy looks like he just saw someone walk past in a Wii costume.
5. The Deathstar
Hands up those of you who knew this would be on the list before you opened the page.
6. Star wars again?
A lot of effort went into this one I see.
7. The Flying Spaghetti Monster
Aren’t we honored to be visited by god this Halloween?
8. Grammar Nazi
Guess what types of comments this guy leaves on the social networking sites?
9. Star Wars again… Again!
This is a very very popular theme.
10. Gordon Freeman
Gordon Freeman from half life being attacked by either a snark, a headcrab, or a face crab (depending on which comment from below you believe).
Bonus: Domokun
A list like this would not be complete without Domokun. Happy Halloween!
The costume listed for number 10 is Gordon from the game Half Life. If i remember correctly he is holding a crow bar, and a face crab.
#10 is Gordon Freeman from the Halflife video games. He’s bashing a Snark with his crowbar.
its called a head crab
Blast! Too slow.
Number 10 is Gordon Freeman from Half-Life being attacked by a headcrab
Great list, those Star Wars costumes made me giggle xD
Oh
too slow indeed
Thanks guys – fixed it. I guess that means you three are the geekiest here
lol…y’all too slow…
I’m surprised there’s no Cthulhu costume
Speaking of… meet My Little Cthulhu

I might have known good old Freeman but what the hell is the bonus one from?
Real geeks do not dress up for Halloween. C’mon! There would be no point in dressing up since no actual living human being has any face to face social interaction with real geeks. Now putting a costume on an avatar for Halloween, perhaps I’ll believe…
I love the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
No, no, no! You got it all wrong! It’s not a snark, a headcrab or a face crab, they’re called head-humpers!
no no no…THIS has got to be #1
http://www.tronguy.net/TRONcostume/
Haha, dude looks like milton from Office Space. Tron was the ***** though.
Dan: Oh my eyes! IT BURNS!
Mathilda: haha so cruel!
Ben: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domokun – he has become something of an Internet Meme
I Agree with Mathilda. A true Geek does not socialize in public very well. So would not likely go out in public wearing a costumer. That does not mean they wont dress up though. More then likely they will dress in one of the above costumers and take pictures of themselves to post on there website. therefore makign it appear they went into public for the first time this month.
One of my friends is a pastafarian
Definitely worths honorable mention:
Real Transformers
Now THIS is a good FSM:

Juggz – So you’re saying that the geeks dressed themselves up in costumes, took pictures of themselves, photoshopped in imaginary friends in the background, and then posted them on their websites? That would be so pathetic. Yeah, I’ll buy it; I think that’s it!
This list was hilarious! Thanks, very cute. =]
so what is everyone going as this year then?
Gordon is my favourite. and I’m pretty sure it’s a headcrab. lol
Went out on Saturday. I was Frankenstein’s monster and my hot, zombie-shootin babe was The Bride. T’was the *****. We always go all out for Halloween costumes. We won 2 costume contests at different bars! Got $100 worth of comps. Drank ‘em. I woke up in very much pain Sunday morning and went to band rehearsal still sporting green/gray makeup. Farted alot in the studio. *****ed off other band members. Drank off the hangover, went home and took a nap.
Good times!
What up J Frat, I’ve been lerking this site for a good 3 months now but I just finally got around to registering. I gotta say… I am a huge fan, keep the good stuff coming!
They’re called either headcrabs or head-humpers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headcrab
A snark is a different thing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snark_%28Half-Life%29
Haha, yes, I am a bit of a geek
ah, I love domo.
I have no pictures handy, but my brother once dressed as Pac-Man, made from a cardboard box, with his face painted red and looking out the open mouth. Another year, he was Luke Skywalker from ESB. My parents always made our costumes as they were theatre majors.
You missed dressing up as a starship trooper.
InfiniteJorge: hey – are you the Jorge I know from ZG? Welcome to the site btw
Hahaha! I like the Deathstar. That is so funny. I would of thought he was a moon or something if I had seen this somewhere other than here.
Ben, here’s the definitive domokun image. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:God-kills-kitten.jpg
my very first dress up halloween i was the costume-in-a-bag yoda. rain coat texture body piece with those terrible plastic masks that dug into your eyes if that piece of crap sliver of cheap rubber held the mask to your head in the first place. good times. great candy.
i’m crazy yoda man, gimme some candy.
How about a list on how to get rid of all this leftover halloween candy? Ughh….
Dan,
The Tron-guy is… how do I say this?
It’s just wrong on so many levels.
After seeing those images, I began to pray for the extinction of the human race, that’s how wrong they were.
Don’t make fun of Star Wars to much! Next year my boyfriend is goig as a stormtrooper and i’m going as princess leia when she gets captured by jabba the hutt (i know all the guys know exactly which outfit i’m talking about) But dressing up as a deathstar??? Thats just waaaay to geeky.
Sandra: I strongly urge you to post photos for us next year
jfrater- no prob, i will definitely post photos. I’m still debating what to dress our daughter up as next year. She’ll be almost 2 by then, maybe an Ewok? or would that just be overkill?
That kid in the darth vader costume? wil weaton from Stand By Me and Star Trek fame. i was just looking at his website today and say that… wow, i guess that makes me a giant nerd as well
http://www.flickr.com/photos/wilwheaton/728675279/
here’s proof
RandiLu: haha I guess it does
Thanks for pointing the origin of the photograph out.
How about a facebook costume…?

JT: haha that is hilarious
I loved it
Posting it on my FaceBook account right now
i was SO close to being an ipod this year! I was gunna be a green one and have “*****yback” playing
my mom was a box for halloween once. her coustume consisted of
1. Cardboard box with no head or arm holes.
i wonder if any of these guys get laid on a regular basis…
DOZ: Yeah, that would certainly be a tangable concept!
What about the head of a dinosaur! Like a Tyranosaurus Rex’s head. Or prehaps even the a windows 95 computer “back from the grave”!
who is the kid in the darth vader outfit, he is precious. Not in a michael jackson way, but look at him. I am sure he is very proud to be the most evil man in the universe.
THIS IS MY FIRST POST YOUR MORONS, lol.
thanks
Barack Obama.
its a headcrab you idiots.
a head crab
anyone would know this
Another good one would of been Sheldon’s ‘Doppler Effect’ costume from The Big Bang Theory
lol.. i h8 auss! i want halloween!! =(
it would be good tho to get sum friends along and all dress up as the components of a regular household computer, u could have the screen, the mouse, the keyboard and the speakers all connected to the boxy thing by big thick white wires.
that’d be so fun! =D
Call me biased, but I absolutely love #’s 9 and 6! I would totally wear those in a heartbeat.
the head-humper actually looks somewhat “realistic”.
i laughed hard at the comment below #4 XD
these guys hav no lives at all
Bonus: EEP!!
its a freaking HEADCRAB. how dare you insult the awesomeness that is Half-Life
You forgot the guy who created a TRON outfit. see this site — http://www.tronguy.net/
WOW #4 the Xbox gave me a big laugh…This guy looks like he just saw someone walk past in a Wii costume.
Hahaha LOVE LOVE LOVE listverse….thanks for constantly amusing me!
the bonus is a hugely popular tv show in japan called domoi watched it once and its pretty stupid
Gordon freeman is hitting a HEADCRAB! not anything other than that, and he is holding his iconic crowbar.
Hehe….I think my costume would fit in nicely here….
