Hey!

Hey! I need #Halloween costume ideas incorporating a respirator mask. I'm doing a book signing for three hours and will have to wear my big respirator (Auras do not fit my weird nose).
Yes, there's "hazmat guy", but I want something more clever than that. A variation on that would be fine.
Thoughts?

Someone being attacked by an alien face sucker?
The big bad (or a bunch of others) in Mad Max Fury Road?
Surgeon?
Firefighter?
Bane (DC comics) or almost any masked superhero? -

Bane (DC comics) or almost any masked superhero?Surgeon wouldn't work because it's a respirator. Big mask.
But, I guess I could just go vaguely post-apocalyptic, like Mad Max.
Everything else would be cool but expensive.
Thank you!

@friscolala Bane would be pricy to do correctly. Also, uh, we have VERY different builds.
I'd be like Bain on a starvation diet.

Depends on how crafty you are, but the alien can be done with half a pringles can and some straws taped together and spraypainted grey...

@deirdrebeth Perhaps. This is a good idea. I'll think about it.
-
@flora Yeah, if it didn't have to be a respirator, I totally would. It would be very appropriate.

@colorblindcowboy cover the top part of your face/head (with eye slits so you can see) and stick some paper on to make the canisters into googly eyes for an insectoid look? Add a beak/proboscis at the bottom too maybe.

If I can find my old Dr Frankenstein costume, I could just make my mask look “olden times” with grip tape and be a mad scientist who believes in PPE.

@colorblindcowboy How about "Ghost of Kiev?" The fighter pilot helmet with mask should just about do it.

@shonin We are on a budget this year,
sadly. No new headgear for me, but I like it. -

@colorblindcowboy is it for your book on haunted houses? is there any trade that goes to old houses and deals with stuff, that could need a respirator? ... not exactly hazmat.. but hazmat-adjacent ...Radioactive-ghost hunter?
Idk I'm terrible with costume ideas, but I wanted to say yay on the book signing!

@marsiposa Awww, that’s kind of you. It is indeed.
Not a bad idea to be thematic, actually. Exterminators and insulation installers woule both wear them.
I could get a plastic suit and attach rats to it. Like they’re getting revenge.
Thank you for the inspiration.

@colorblindcowboy that would be creepy indeed, or a bunch of spiders
Don't forget some sort of badge or clipboard showing you're a very legit pest control company.

I think I did OK with my post-apocalyptic shaman costume the other year.
The military surplus goggles (I think the right ski-mask might work too) really ties it together.
Post-apocalypse works. Otherwise I'd go for something Resident Evil'esque.

Thank You. I shared my costume from 2023 in their comments.

another Halloween I decorated my kid's Flo-Mask by using double-sided tape to adhere sew-on spikes to it. Sort of like in the picture here:

@marsiposa Yes. Definitely a name badge. Thank you for the ideas.
