Halloween has already passed and we are mid way through November, but I could not resist posting about this amazing costume designed and fabricated by Scott Holden. This Tauntaun (from Star Wars Episode IV Empire Strikes Back) costume was three years in the making, and it really paid off. Using a pair of custom built stilts as the legs, Scott created this monster Tauntaun out of PVC pipes, chicken wire, silicon, wood, plaster, foam, and a whole lot of different materials. The best part of this costume is definitely the head. The amazing detail he put into the face and the horns is quite impressive. Too bad the costume doesn’t have a slit in the stomach with guts to climb inside for added effect. Regardless, great job Scott!

It the jump to see the pictures and video of this amazing costume!
