Memes are huge this year. So are video game birds, superheros and working iPhone bodysuits. The year 2011 has never seen so many tech-inspired Halloween costumes.
That's right, nowadays white sheets and bloody fangs are out -- unless you're desperately hanging on to the Twilight trend, which is only borderline acceptable in my book. This Halloween you'll be encountering "aha" moments around every corner. Mermaid with thick-rimmed glasses = Hipster Ariel. Aviator-rimmed older man carrying a stuffed badger = Ojai taxidermist Chuck Testa (either that, or someone you should avoid at all costs).
Flip through our gallery for a brief overview of what to expect this Halloween. Homemade, assembled or bought, these costumes represent tech innovation and digital trends from the past and present.
