Cardboard costumes I make for my son are very, VERY sad compared to this "Thanatos" mech costume a father made for his son for Halloween. I think I have failed as a parent.

Kittiwat Unarrom is a 28-yeard-old art student from Thailand who has baked bread that looks like very realistic human body parts. If you can get passed the sight of the bread, the bread is edible. Link to article.
A couple of Apple Fanboys decided to turn two stolen iPhone displays in Halloween costumes. Great idea, guys, but consider yourselves caught. Link to video.
Halloween is still three weeks away, but it doesn't hurt to start getting into the spirit of the spooky holiday. Here is a skillfully carved Super Mario jack 'o lantern.
My parents were in town this past weekend and dad was very psyched to carve some custom pumpkins for his grandson. Dad reminds me of a Filipino Mr. Miyagi because of his wisdom and many talents, although, he is lacking in the martial arts area. I may be biased, but these pumpkins are pretty cool.
The first pumpkin that he carved was "Incredibles" inspired. The pumpkin has the "Incredibles" emblem as well as Zach's name which represents the mouth of the pumpkin.
The second pumpkin he carved was "Lion King" inspired. He carved the image of "Lion King" character Poomba (the wart hog or wild boar -- what is he exactly?).
You can view more pictures of the works in progress here.
Note:I'll post pictures of the lit pumpkins this evening or tomorrow -- It's too bright right now to get a good picture. Here is a picture of the lit pumpkins.
