Geeky Halloween Costumes for Teenagers and Teens!

Halloween should be considered every geek’s favorite time of the year because it’s finally time to show off your geekiness and be proud of it! Geeks tend to find the most original halloween costumes, either by making their own costumes or by using unorthodox methods to find the costume that is most suitable to them. This article will detail some of the most original geeky halloween costumes this year.

First of all, what is a geek exactly? If you’re a teenager then you probably know the definition of the word geek already, but for everyone else here it is: geeks are smart people who tend to become obsessive about certain topics that really interest them. For example there are computer geeks, band and music geeks, television geeks, movie geeks, voracious reader (literary) geeks, genre geeks and the list could go on and on. You might have heard of Star Trek geeks before, these are simply people who love the show and who might like to collect action figures, books, DVD sets, soundtracks, and who might also like to attend conferences or meet others who are similarly obsessed.

Now onto the geeky halloween costumes! So you want to know what your options are this year for dressing up on halloween night, right? Well first I just wanted to mention that the following costume ideas are just ideas and should only be used as a starting point. If for some reason I don’t mention your favorite show or anime, or your favorite obscure book character you can and definitely should try to find or make your own costume for your ideal character. So here are my top recommendations or picks for geeky halloween costumes for teenagers and adults!

Star Wars Halloween Costumes

On the heels of the third Star Wars movie it only makes sense that geeks everywhere would want to dress up as their favorite star wars character. However you might realize that there is a bit of a weird sentiment following the star wars trilogy. So just pick your characters wisely. If you want to dress up as Yoda, I’m sure no one will object and in fact it might actually help you get the ladies if you’re a male geek who is a teenager.

Lord of the Rings Halloween Costumes

Lord of the Rings is still considered very geeky and very cool. There are tons of people who have Lord of the Ring parties to watch the extended versions of the movies on DVD and they pull all nighters to achieve this goal. You could dress up as Legolas and make all the ladies swoon, or if you’re a girl then you don’t have as many options of who to dress up as but being a female elf has it’s perks too. You’ll get to look pretty all night while at the same time getting your geeky groove on!

Technology Halloween Costumes

Where would we be without technology or computer related halloween costumes for geeks? This category of costumes should be pretty easy to come up with: pick your favorite tech toy or computer or software and turn it into a costume! Dress up as an iPod, but not the new iPod shuffle because no one is that small! Dress up as cellphone, a laptop, the Aibo robot dog, a television, you name it and it will be geeky once you turn it into a costume!

I hope these geeky halloween costume ideas have sparked your already creative and obsessive minds to find more original halloween costumes. Have a happy halloween everyone and their geeky friends!
