Ever since Bat Day became a thing, the love between Goths and Disneyland has grown by leaps and bounds with each passing year, all leading up to this- Goth themed goodies are now being sold at Disneyland.
There are fun coffin shaped cases of candy, dark chocolate roses and bags full of candy bones and skulls for all the dark little boys and girls to enjoy while they make their way through the happiest place on earth.
Inspired by the secret Big Head mode found in some video games, clever costumer/digital artist Eric Testroete used 3d modeling software and a printer to create one amazing Halloween mask.
He printed out each polygon of his 3d model on cardstock paper, then put them all together with various adhesives to form this glorious example of swollen noggin syndrome.
Sure you could make or buy stormtrooper helmets that look even better than this, but that would be a much bigger investment than many people would want to make for a Halloween costume they'd only use once.

A good parent holds on to their child's candy stash after Halloween, so the little critters don't eat it all in one sitting.
A bad parent eats all of their kid's candy while holding on to it, then lies about what happened to it all, typically blaming it on some poor innocent pet.
A twisted parent holds on to their candy but tells their kids that they've eaten it all, then they film their kids reaction as the little ones lose their minds!
