MIT student Tyler Christensen has created the holy grail of nerd Halloween costumes with his hat-mounted dual-resonant solid state Tesla coil which has been programmed to play the theme from Mortal Kombat.

A fascination with videoconferencing, especially with regard to eye contact and spatial awareness, inspired Dan Rosenfeld to create this “Big Head” costume for Halloween. An external LCD panel displays the wearer’s face in real time, while a camera feeds an internal monitor, revealing events taking place outside the box. This image is reflected off a half silvered mirror, allowing Dan to stare directly at the camera, while also giving him the ability to see what’s in front of him.
