Halloween is almost upon us and though some are not exactly ecstatic about the hyped, themed holiday, others are furiously rifling the Internet and costume shops for awesome and creative costumes that will essentially end in the ultimate social acceptance.

I’m a culprit of it too, once dressing as Robin (Batman’s apprentice), Robin Hood (heroic English outlaw), and Wally from Where’s Wally? So that you’re ready for whatever Halloween endeavours you get up to over the weekend, I’ve compiled a short list of unique tech-themed costumes for IT and general fanboys of sci-fi:

1. The Tardis (Doctor Who)

Ok, so a larger Tardis for an adult may bit be a larger DIY project, but come on, that is the cutest thing in existence.

2. Firefox

Here’s one for the web developers and web designers, the Firefox logo! In terms of costumes for IT, this one takes a fairly good slice of the cake.

3. The Blue Screen of Death

Award for the creepiest costume on the list of costumes for IT? Yep, this one. Although punny and Halloween-themed, it does somehow make Death even scarier when he’s got a giant monitor for a head.

4. The gang from Mario Kart

6. Pac-Man (+ Ghosts)

7. A Retro 3D Viewmaster (+ Slide Reel)

8. Tetris

9. Clippy

Ugh, Clippy. What can we say? It was nice always getting rid of you? In all seriousness, though, dressing up as Clippy for Halloween is ironically hilarious.

10. Google Maps

Today marks 6 years with my love! We decided to go as Google Maps this year. @dannykeifer is where we met at @iubloomington and I am where we live now in Nashville! Cheers to many more years with you 😘 #halloween #happyanniversary #googlemapscostume 📍

Certainly a far stretch for this one. But kudos for thinking outside of the box, and going as a map location. I mean, that’s either extremely lame or considered modern art brilliance.

11. 404 Error

My costume tonight and for all my future halloweens. 😂😂😂 Yes that was one of my plain white tee's and written in black sharpie that I found in my book bag. #mycostumeisbetterthanyours #mycostume #halloween #error404costumenotfound

One of the ultimate costumes for IT and tech lovers, and no doubt the simplest of the bunch, is the classic “404 Error” shirt. You will literally only need a plain t-shirt and a permanent marker. That’s it — the cheapest and wittiest costume ever invented.

12. The cast of The Big Bang Theory

When I thought costumes for IT, I thought, well, why not dress up like the cast of nerdy scientists that everyone knows and loves?

13. Google?

Second-best to the cheapest and simplest costume idea, the “404 Error” t-shirt, is the “let’s all dress up to form the Google logo” costume for a group of 6 friends. Again, just a bunch of t-shirts and a rainbow of permanent markers. Just don’t leave each other for the whole night, and stay in that order. Either way, it’s a great idea for making friends or wing-manning.

14. An Original GameBoy

I know, I know, I'm lame. I just have to know.. Who is this? #youtubehalloween #gameboycostume #youtube

Go for gold and dress up as my childhood sweetheart this Halloween in an original GameBoy outfit! Only criticism is that it reminds me of Lisa’s Floreda.
