Visit the Upside Down with This Demogorgon Costume
Based on what I’ve seen around the web, Stranger Things was a popular go-to for Halloween costume inspiration. That means I finally spotted some complete Demogorgon costumes. We’ve shared a makeup tutorial for the creature recently, but if you can go full Demogorgon, follow CBLimagery’s lead. He crafted a gruesome and scary looking costume and rigged the mouth so it opens and closes with a hand motion.
CBLimagery explains on Instagram that the Demogorgon was pretty cheap to construct. His largest expenses were three cans of spray foam insulation and two rolls of gorilla tape. He started with a morph suit and added the expanding foam on top of it. The hand control? Rubber bands and bicycle hand brake cables. It’s simple but creative and well-executed. You can see the mouth in motion in this video.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
