Maybe you’ve solely simply began planning, perhaps you’re already within the means of grabbing some ghoulish haberdashery, or hell, perhaps you’re even wildly ready and have already got a fancy dress sorted for your complete season of pre-Halloween events. Or perhaps you made a cosplay for a summer season conference you couldn’t attend this 12 months and are simply utilizing that for Halloween, we gained’t decide. But wherever you’re at within the course of, we wish to see what you’ve acquired within the works—and perhaps you’ll encourage a few of your fellow io9ers to get crafting their very own costumes to participate, too.
