Last Minute 2011 Movie-Inspired Halloween Costume Ideas From Your Friendly Movieline Editors
Ryan Gosling in Drive
It's the dude costume of the season! If only those choice Drive replica scorpion jackets weren't coming out until after November, it'd be a lot easier to channel Gosling's cool, toothpick-chomping Los Angeleno getaway driver for Halloween. Still! Make your own white satin scorpion jacket, don leather driving gloves, and pick up a bloody hammer and you're set -- the cherubic pixie dream girls will come running this Halloween, and all you've got to do is look bashful and bat those Baby Goose lashes.
Alternate Ryan Gosling 2011 costumes: Ides of March Gosling (wear a suit and hold a folded magazine with Clooney's face up to yours all night); NYC Street Fight Gosling (striped tank; man capris; blue baseball cap; shopping bag full of... gym clothes?). - JY
That one chick from The Skin I Live In
The art house costume of the season (as portrayed by Elena Anaya) requires some special preparation: First, obtain an opaque plastic face mask, with the eyes, nose, and mouth cut out. Next, shave your head. Then, slip into a skintight black bodysuit -- or, alternately, go nude with penciled in surgical lines drawing a jigsaw pattern of faux-incisions on your body. And make sure to study up on your Almodovar to strike just the right balance of perversity and panache on your big night. Go get 'em! - JY
The Human Centipede II (with 11 of your closest friends)
This one's gonna be a bit tricky, but well worth the effort -- that is, if you and your fellow centipedes don't have anywhere to be, exactly. Mobility, shall we say, is not a major feature of this group costume. But it's cheap! Strip down, everyone. Get on all fours. Glue/tape/staple your mouths to someone else's... well, you get the picture. Instant party hit! - JY
Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy in Warrior
Lionsgate's excellent MMA drama Warrior was so woefully underseen in theaters; do your part to spread the Warrior awareness by pairing up with your best dude pal -- the one who's like a brother to you. Don lightweight fighting gloves and different colored shorts; one of you look concerned and conciliatory, the other act like a feral cat until late in the evening, when you break down and weep uncontrollably. - JY
Mel Gibson in The Beaver
Mel Gibson's Beaver look is easy to achieve, if you can find the right hand puppet. Any woodland creature will do, really; walk around speaking only to the puppet on your hand (in a different accent), while pausing to say inappropriate things to cops, exes, and the media. - JY

This year, I'm going to a party as Judge Dredd, and halfway through the party, I'm going to have the director replaced, but issue a vague "It was the plan the whole time" press release.
(And no, the mask will not come off. But there may be some "I AM THE LAAAAWWWW" utterances)
Well, you already know I've got my scorpion jacket pre-ordered. But since it's not shipping till december I'm definitely rockin the Michael Fassbender look (no prosthetics required 😉
