If you're like DAD, you love a great Halloween costume. Whether you're trying to scare the neighbors or just have a dope costume for a Halloween party, you need to make sure you're rocking something at the end of October. The problem is when you love certain personalities, but can't find the way to represent them in your costumes. DAD's here to help. Here are costume ideas that you can purchase or make right now that'll have you looking like a number of your favorite DJs and producers. Not all of them are great (or of DJs you've heard of), but you can flip any one of these this year.
Daft Punk
Price: varies
Looking like Daft Punk won't come cheap; this one eBay page alone has custom helmets that look just like the androids for $810. Add in the cost of the head-to-toe leather outfits that you'll need, and this could be a price-y costume. Done right, and everyone from the ravers to the hipsters will be buying you shots.
DJ Lance Rock
Price: $34.99
He might not be headlining EDCs, but Yo Gabba Gabba's resident DJ, Lance Rock, could be a dope costume - if you can pull it off (and have no issue being dressed head to toe in orange).
Skrillex
Price: $300 (unless you're frugal)
Our calculation goes based on the piecemeal Skrillex costume that carboncostume.com laid out based on this press picture. Love how they broke it down, but you could probably pull this off much cheaper.
Sexy DJ
Price: $34.99
DAD has a feeling that if you're trying to be a "sexy DJ," you could spend less than $35, especially if the costume will essentially be fishnets and a bikini top. If you wanted a whole "look" in a bag, though, this might be perfect. The headphones have pink stars on them, you see.
DJ Pauly D
Price: $8.62
Talk about cheap! All you get is a horrible-wig-and-shirt combo (which is made to look like a tank top with flesh-toned arms), but that means you can rock whatever jeans and sneakers you want. You could add a pair of headphones and start singing about "t-shirt time" and fist-pump to your heart's content.
DJ Spin Wheel
Price: $74.95
This one is for the ladies... that want to look like the hamsters from that Kia commercial. We're not sure if there's a real "DJ Spin Wheel," but this costume will have you ladies looking like some weird hamster/human hybrid, with fuzzy boots, a hamster headband for headphones, and more.
DJ Pawly D
Price: $43.99-$45.99
We imagine your pooch doesn't watch Jersey Shore, but if you were rocking the DJ Pauly D costume and wanted your dog to be your twin, this is the set just for you.
deadmau5
Price: $29.75
Well, it's $30 if you only want a weird deadmau5 onesie, aka the shittiest deadmau5 costume out there. You'd be better off trying to buy a mau5 head via eBay (where you'll spend a few hundred dollars at LEAST) or taking the initiative and making a mau5head of your own.
DJ Trance
Price: $88.99
Almost $90 to dress up like a DJ that eerily feels like DJ Lance Rock x DJ Spinwheel, but if you want to be a "sexy DJ" for Halloween, you could do worse.
Destroid
Price: unknown
OK, we kid, this is *technically* not a Destroid costume, but doesn't this guy look just like the dystopian future warrior trio? You could probably get all-black attire, some weird mask/helmet deal, and rubber cement all kinds of shiny metallic doo-dads all over. It's a start, at least.
