By Lori Ferraro I love when two of my favorite holidays connect . . . One of the greatest Christmas gifts I ever received (the Atari 2600) years later led to be the inspiration for one of my favorite Halloween costumes: Sure, Space Invaders was awesome, Pac Man is classic but this was my game:
She was a regular old prisoner but when we went out into the world that night and anyone said “nice prison uniform” or “what are you in for?” I would yell, “I’M THE KABOOM GUY!” Susanne reluctantly handcuffed herself to me and was in for a night of me sipping peach Bartles and Jaymes coolers and making everyone aware of this. To become the mad bomber you will simply need the following:
- Standard “prisoner” Halloween costume from any Halloween Superstore
- Bomb
If you can’t find your bomb prop at the Halloween Superstore you can make your own by taking a regular old playground ball and adding some rope to create a wick. They come in dark colors and are on sale right now since summers over. If you’re feeling extra-crafty you could get some sticky letters and emblazon your bomb with the word KABOOM! so you won’t have to spend your night yelling at people about who you are.
