Nerdy, yet awesome.
From PC World:
Let’s face it–Halloween for adults is basically an excuse to dress up in spooktacular outfits and show them off to others. Of course, typical Halloween costumes are all too commonplace and overrated, so why not add in a bit of geeky charm?
Read on for GeekTech’s favorite geeky costumes, and a little on how they were made, to give you some outfit inspiration.
Doctor Who
Doctor Who is one of the ultimate in science fiction TV, and it makes for some great Halloween costumes–especially if you can team up with a few friends to go as the various freaky foes the Doctor must face. ThinkGeek offered the perfect Trenchcoat, styled on the 10th Doctor’s own. While it costs $330, rest safe assured that no civilizations will crumble with you at the helm of the TARDIS.

If you’re really dedicated, why not make yourself a giant, super realistic iPhone suit, complete with an actual screen? This is exactly what Regis Laborie created: an iPhone made from wood, a 42-inch plasma screen, and other various readily-available materials. The result? An impressive wearable version of the iPhone, complete with a few glowing lights to make the apps on-screen to stand out. The best part? His costume took only around 10 hours to complete.
Keyboard Cat
Don’t deny it: You love cat memes. While dressing as a lolcat would mean that you’d have to dress like a normal cat, Keyboard Cat is a good second choice. Put on that blue shirt, don a pair of ears and a tail, and don’t forget to carry around a keyboard (a children’s toy one would suffice). Or go all out by covering yourself in fur and making real cat paws.
