\"Joel<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This year for Halloween I’m just another face in a red jumpsuit: specifically, I’m Joel<\/a> from Mystery Science Theater 3000<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like last year’s costume,<\/a> this is one of those where you either get the reference or you don’t. If you were watching a lot of Comedy Central in the 90’s (or you had friends that did) you probably remember the show where a silhouette of a guy and his two robot pals sat at the bottom of the screen, watching unbelievably terrible movies and making wisecracks the entire time. That show was Mystery Science Theater 3000,<\/em> or MST3k for short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The costume itself is remarkably simple: it’s a red jumpsuit I got from Amazon with a Gizmonics patch I bought from Etsy hastily sewn on. The hard hat (which Joel wears in the intro to the show<\/a>) is a cheap yellow hard hat from Amazon. I found the “G” logo from Google Image Search, printed it out, and hot glued it to the hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more advanced builder than I might have made a Tom Servo and\/or Crow T. Robot puppet to go along with the outfit, and indeed many folks have done exactly that. Instructions are a quick Google search away for those with a lot of spare time on their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got movie sign!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
