The Best Movie-Based Costume I've Ever Seen

thumbnail icon: The Best Movie-Based Costume I've Ever Seen

All this "tomorrow is Halloween" stuff keeps reminding me of the best movie (or pop culture) costume I've ever seen, the creator of which sent it in last year to my personal blog before Videogum existed. So I have to share it. I love this guy's dedication. It's something many of us have probably thought of doing, but this guy went all the way. This guy wins:

It's John Cusack as Lloyd Dobler from Say Anything, with working boom box! By a guy named Jon from Toronto:

And here's the original only version of this costume I could find last year before Jon sent in his creation. Hilarious:

(Thanks, Jon from Toronto, wherever you are, and if you see this, send us this year's!)
