Transform store bought costumes into metal Halloween costumes

A few years ago I did a post on do it yourself Halloween metal costumes.

Well, in these tough economic times it's always good to save money when you can. Now it's time to look how to convert your old non-metal costume into heavy metal masterpiece that you can be proud of this Halloween.



Take that old bumble bee costume and remove the wings and stinger and ta-da you have an old-style Stryper outfit. Since they have a new album out maybe this look is back in style. Okay, it was never in style and never really will be.


Take your old shoulder pads and other sports equipment and put it on over your clothes and now you can go as a member of Raven circa 1986.



Do you have some biker leathers? Well just slap on cheap tiger stripe cloth and cut the butt cheek parts out of the pants and you can go as a member of WASP from back in 1984. Of course if you cut the backs out of your pants you may want to check the weather report for Halloween night before you go out trick or treating.

If you don't have any old costume to transform there is still one other idea you could try. Get some tape you can write on and tear off a lot of pieces. Then write KISS and put a high price next to it. Then start putting the pieces of tape on everything and everyone will know that you are Gene Simmons because he is the only one who would put a KISS logo and a high price tag on anything he thought he could sell. Of course just make sure the real Gene Simmons doesn't hear about this or someone dressed as one of his lawyers may be paying you a visit.

There you are. Feel free to add your own ideas.
