Starting on my oldest son's costume. This is what I have so far. Can anyone guess just from this what it will be?

Nope. Good guesses, but way off.Either a spider costume, or really exaggerated dreadlocks![]()
Oh, it will be worn under a shirt all right. A jacket too. Coming out of the back.Hrm, I'm assuming that it's going to be worn on the back, with the 2 closest legs possibly bent onto the shoulders? So I don't know... Maybe an octopus? A beetle? Ummm... Or maybe it'll be worn under his shirt in his front and it'll look like those tentacle things are growing out of him?
Nope. Good guess though!I can only assume there is an Otto Octavius costume forthcoming?
He's not super tall, but just a little above average for his age. about 5'5" Not really thin enough either. lol. But that's what he wants to do, so that's what we are doing. Got a white shirt, black jacket and pants from Goodwill today. Waiting for him to get home from school so we can fit the tentacles to the jacket while he is wearing it to get them positioned right. I got the jacket between mine and his size so either could use it in the future. I'm taller than him (5'11") but not as stocky so it should work out ok. Arms will just be a little short for me if I ever wear it. lol13 years old? hope he's tall enough.
I hope your son does not get scared easily (cannot hide in a group of friends) and does not plan on riding in a vehicle.... I do like the idea very much. I saw the original picture as being something where the cardboard base would fit against the back of the head. I was a little off in my body location.
