There's a Halloween costume/tech/food contest going on at Makezine.com, and by far the scariest and most dramatic entry is this headless Marie Antoinette costume. That's just the beginning, though, because there are all kinds of gross foods and disgusting creepy crawlies on that site today. There's even a cockroach cake!
After the jump, see more views of the costume, how this ingenious costume was constructed, and also see what we thought was the second-best costume, good enough to win almost any contest itself.



We thought this Mount Rushmore costume was also impressive, with the whole family all dressed up patriotic-like:

I saw an Osama bin Laden version of this in 2001. Walking around with his own decapitated head. in his hands.
Great costume. Marie is hot. I hope that ninja-ish dork isn't her husband, she needs to raise her standards. A sword and a mask does not make you a ninja. Couldn't he have at least worn sweat pants instead of jeans? Or maybe black jeans?
If you really saw that then cool, if you are making a political comment then I guess you were living in a cave after 2001. No offense.
Marie is a real cutie, but holding your head in that position for an extended period of time would most likely be a "pain in the neck".
I once saw something very like that at a school party...but crappier and looked store bought....A boy had a chopped off head in his costume...and then he was holding it...the only thing was the costume was made taller so the neck was near above his head, and then the head he was holding was a fake dummy head..but that costume would be freaky if I answered the door to give kids candy...
would!!
Hey dudes-
"Marie" here, Thanks for the props on the costume! To respond to your comments -
No, it's not that uncomfortable (after a couple of drinks),
And no, that's not my husband. I assure you that my standards are sky-rocket high.
Feel free to leave me your comments on my site "lovebone" (i'm an attention whore)

I did one of these years ago, but it was much lamer (if you're already tall the extra height doesn't help. Probably also helps if you're a hottie like Marie!)
