Raidra as Michael Jackson. I gotta give credit where it’s due and notice the attention to detail. You got the trademark sunglasses, the glove, the bandanna around the arm, and the doctor’s mask that he wore everywhere. Some time was clearly put into putting this all together. Will say that I wish the costume was more current though.

EmpyrealInvective as A Clockwork Orange Droog. What can I say, this was glorious. Emp is a genius and he clearly shows how much he read books/watched movies and how super smart he is by referencing them (even though he is dressed as Dim). Points taken off for unoriginality however as this was done like two years ago by a much smarter and sexier user.

Ricki the vampire as a vampire. I’m going to assume your costume is a vampire as you technically never stated it. I like the idea behind it although I am left wondering abut some of the choices there like the dried blood or the hood. As I don’t know if you were going for vampire, Little Red Riding Hood, or a gender-swapped version of Red Hood, I can’t really fully enjoy the costume.

Dr. Frank N. Furter as Dr. Pen E. Flirter. What can I really say here that would appropriately convey the horror, confusion, and originality that this costume exudes? I guess I can say that. You definitely get points for originality here. I especially like the background as it tells its own story (the story that if the camera shifted over a bit, we’d probably see Frank N. Furter’s sex dungeon). Kudos.

Derpyspaghetti as Pumpkin Love Child. I definitely enjoy the in-joke here that was probably inspired by reading a playful back-and-forth involving pumpkin puns, pictures, and probably peyote (alliteration!). I really wish we could have seen a bit more of the costume though and maybe some little tie-ins.

ArinieKat as Drowned Victim of the 1864 Sheffield Flood. This one is definitely a cool idea. It has a backstory to it and feels historically accurate. That being said, I’m not really a respected person in that field (apparently insisting that Jesus existed during the time of dinosaurs is wrong on multiple levels.) It really feels like you spent a lot of time here and it’s likely why you’ve won the Judge’s Pick.

In the end, I have to pick one and while everyone’s costume looks good, I have to go with my gut. The sexual terror that Frank N. Furter inspires with his costume gives Princess Pete and ShawnCognitionCP’s Pumpkin Wetmare a run for its money. My vote goes to Pen E. Flirter.
