Cosplaying is easy, but doing it well, especially with Halloween costumes, is something else. Sure, you can go online and buy yourself a costume (just no more Harley Quinn, please, we beg you), but the real show-stealers are the ones who make their own.
And as you can see from this list compiled by Bored Panda, some people’s ideas are seriously damn clever! Don’t forget to vote for your favorite, and let us know what you think in the comments! (h/t: collegehumor)

Peter Pan And His Shadow Cosplay
Aww this would make a cute couples idea. Hate to use the bathroom after the person on the right though.
Amanda Panda, Usually 'couples' are not equal size to be shadow-like. This looks more like a twin or bestie type of pairing.
Load More Replies...Oh at first glance I thought it was Link and shadow Link from the legend of Zelda
I'm guessing they flipped a coin for who had to be the shadow!
Grayscale For Halloween
Very impressive. Reminds me of the scene from Pleasantville when color came into the world.
Awww, someone else thinking of Pleasantville!! Come here, give me a hug (or just a high five). :D
Load More Replies...Damn, this looks really good! The only thing that gives them away are the eyes!
I tried this once, unfortunately my make-up skills weren't quite as good. Mostly people thought I was dressed as a zombie.
It's Whitney Avalon! She also does the Princess Rap battles on YouTube. Very talented makeup artist!
Here's A Pic Of Me From Senior Year When I Had Cancer. Naturally I Shaved My Head And Dressed Up As Professor Quirrel
Excellent Idea! Creepy! Did you make it smell funny? There should be smell coming out of the "face"...
Disabled Guy Owns Mad Max Cosplay
Epic costume. Also those wheelchairs that stand up are f'king awesome.
Based on the carpet, this was at Dragon*Con. I didn't see this one but saw one of a lady who had turned her wheelchair into a Mad Max machine with great details.
This was at DragonCon, yes. I actually saw him in the Walk of Fame room that year. Almost as impressive was an amputee Furiosa who had swapped her everyday prosthetic for a screen accurate recreation of the one from the movie.

Weatherman's Amazing Halloween Costume
I remember when they used to just stick those fun pictures of clouds, sunshine, rain, lighting on a magnetized board.

1 point for the pun and an extra point for the great execution of the costume!
Now THIS, is clever!! 3x pun and clever! Unless Amazon Prime really has a character like this for their commercials, then it's not that clever. I've never seen an Amazon Prime commercial... but love the Transformers! :)

Remember the whole is it blue or gold thing a few years ago? Yeah, let's not revive that one.
