"Look into my eyes"

Contributed by: Garrett Spradlin on 10/28/2007

Ok everyone here's my costume for this Halloween. I made this completely from scratch. All the walls are made of styrofoam and plexi glass and it's full of details.

Complete with real coin mechanism, light up crystal ball, four lights on the top, gold coins on the inside, a plug on the back (to look like it plugs into the wall) and curtains with gold ties it's amazing ... or so people tell me. Peoples' reactions to the dedication I put into this holiday is what makes it all worth while.

It's better in person then it is in this picture but as long as you can see that I put a lot of time and effort into it then you can imagine what other peoples faces look like when I walk by them in this costume. Most people don't think that I could walk around in it and many ask me "you're in a box... and canwalk?" and my answer to all of you is "yes" I am in a box and can walk around, it moves right along with me.

I really enjoy making memories for people and when you can laugh at a nut like me you'll never forget it. People definitely do laugh when your wearing such an outfit but hey, keep on laughin'... that's how I know if I did alright.

I have done costumes like this for three years now and always try to top the previous one. I figure you only live once so why not live it up in costume while you're still a kid! Hope you all like it and who knows what next year will bring!

You should give your Aunt Tiffany some credit, seems how you and her came up with the idea together, along with the previous 2 years!

If I wake up tomorrow a full-grown Tom Hanks, you and me are going to have words.

Garrett, that is amazing! I'm glad you're one of the creative few who make an effort to make a cool Halloween costume. Nice.
