The latest adaptation of Stephen King's It has made a big impression on fans, and since It was released well before Halloween Pennywise was a shoe-in for "It" costume of 2017, which inevitably led to some "who wore it better?" moments at Halloween parties.

So why go with the same look as every other clown in a costume when you can dress like the other characters in It and keep your costume's inspiration a bit more subtle?

So I went and saw IT on Sunday and I already want to cosplay some of the kids. Eddie was totally my favourite in the film. Ahh I just wanna go see the film again!! - - - - #cosplay #closetcosplay #cosplayer #itmovie #stevenkingit #eddiekaspbrak #eddiekaspbrakcosplay #itcosplay #it2017 #it2017

Instead of making yourself look like a cheap clown in an even cheaper costume do yourself a favor and dress up like Eddie Spaghetti or Beverly Marsh, or go full blown creepy and dress up like little Georgie.

There have been so many alternate versions of Pokemon created that artists are now starting to reach for inspiration a bit too far, making most "pokemon as ...." art jams a bit boring.

But I'm totally on board with these Pokemon redesigns by JHALL because they're making 'Murica geeky again- by turning the United States into pocket monsters ready for battle.

JHALL's designs are so got dang patriotic it brings a tear to the eye, and even though he has only given us 8 states so far I'm sure he's hard at work pairing Pokemon and state stereotypes because that's his civic duty.

Parks And Recreation was a pretty darn funny show that helped launch the career of Chris Pratt and Aziz Ansari, plus it gave the world the Ron Swanson so saying the show made a huge impact on pop culture is an understatement.

But nobody could have foreseeen how many conspiracy theories Parks And Rec would spawn- one claims Leslie and the team are embezzling money from Pawnee City Hall, another claims Jerry is actually a Russian sleeper agent. And then there's the one about Ben Wyatt dating Rachel from Friends...

Adam "Ben Wyatt" Scott and Ben "Jean-Ralphio Saperstein" Schwartz reacted and responded to these crackpot Parks And Rec conspiracy theories while backstage at The Late Late Show with James Corden, cracking the case wide open like a Pawnee sand clam.

Characters in video games perform skill actions which game designers generally don't bother to animate because it would take too long and bog down the action, making in-game crafting even more tedious than it already is.

So instead of a drawn out animated scene players see a pause screen or, in the case of MMOs, a bit of mid-air hand action from your character which, as this VLDL video shows, makes crafting look super weird- and super magical!

Time travel is fiction, unless you are referring to traveling ahead in time at the rate one one minute per minute. As fiction, you can do pretty much what you want with temporal displacement, so science fiction stories treat that ability in many different ways.

Some bosses get really upset when their employees show up late for work, coming down on them hard like an ogre swinging a giant club at their head in an attempt to beat promptness into them.

Thankfully geeky bosses generally aren't quite so fearsome or strict about employee tardiness, and as this comic from The Underfold shows, geeky bosses are also easily distracted by polyhedral dice rolls...

Dungeons & Dragons is the most popular tabletop roleplaying game of all time, but it's also just like every other RPG ever made in that it can be both fun and frustratingly not so fun to play.

Playing a RPG for too long can leave players feeling inspired yet unmotivated to do anything else in life but game, like a drug that takes you to the fantasy land where you left your heart.

Which is why this series of Dungeons & Dragons demotivational posters by Imgur user Vindexrix is a critical hit, because you know you'll never be as badass as your Barbarian or as exciting to be around as your Sorcerer.

If you want to keep your Halloween costume fresh and timely then you can't go wrong with a meme themed costume- they're the freshest, the timeliest, and they appeal to every internet user, meaning pretty much everyone nowadays.

They're also pretty easy to put together at the last minute, so if you still don't know what to wear to the Halloween festivities here are a few ideas based on memes:

1. Snapchat Hot Dog Filter-

Put on a hot dog costume, some headphones and throw your hands in the air and you've become the Snapchat Hot Dog, and it is now your duty to photobomb as many pics as possible!

2. Angry Arthur-

Angry Arthur is a super simple look to put together in terms of clothing, since it's mainly just a yellow sweater, blue jeans, glasses and sneakers, but you may have to hunt around a little to find the perfect aardvark ears.

Then all you have to do is clench your hands into fists all night long, posing the fist for the perfect pics and making an angry face whenever anyone takes a pic of you.

3. Salt Bae-

(Image Link)

This is by far the easiest look on the list to pull off, but spending the night as the Salt Bae may make your arm (and wrist) tired from all that salt dashing.

A v-neck tee, little round glasses and some salt are the basics of this costume, but if you want to go advanced bae you can bring a big steak to throw salt at and grill up to everyone's delight!

Wonder Woman has gone through a few costume redesigns over the years but she keeps coming back to some form of armor, because she's a warrior through and through.

And if she starred in a title that took place n the Middle Ages she would probably sport an armored costume that looks like this amazing suit of battle armor created by Samuel Lee from Prince Armory.

It's got her signature colors, it's got the flair that makes it worthy of an Amazon princess and it actually looks like it would protect her in combat, unlike those midriff and mini skirt numbers other supergals wear.

Halloween is the right time to rewatch all your favorite Elvira movies -and if you happen to be near Anaheim, you could even see her perform in person at Knott's Berry Farm. If you can't get enough of the Mistress of the Dark though, you may as well learn a little bit more about her -or rather the actress that plays her, Cassandra Peterson. For example, did you know she started her career as a showgirl in Las Vegas and even dated Elvis and Tom Jones?

Many 80s cartoons were created in a sort of ratings gray area because the rules of what kids should and shoudn't see in a cartoon were being rewritten and redefined.

And while topics like death, drugs and the Satanic Panic were considered too dark for a G audience in the 90s they were just fine for kids watching The Smurfs and the Care Bears in the 80s.

In the Care Bears Movie II a girl named Christy sells her soul to Dark Heart the shape-shifting demon so she can be better at sports, which seems pretty damn dark for a Care Bears storyline.

But then the scene takes an even darker turn when Dark Heart leaves Christy for dead, the Care Bears unable to revive her without help from the audience, who were probably in tears since they thought the girl was dead.

The Smurfs had a similarly Satanic-themed episode that deals with the Christmas Stranger, a sinister guy who buys two orphan kids from Gargamel to use in an evil ritual.

The episode also had a similar "don't trust strangers" theme and the Smurfs use the power of love and hope (and singing) to defeat the Stranger.

The people in these pics are lucky they don't live in the U.S., because if they did they'd probably get mobbed by adoring fans wherever they go!

Lucky for them George Clooney isn't a household name in Turkey, and while Hugh Laurie is huge in the U.S. and merry old England people are all like "Hugh who?" in Russia.

But people all around the world know the name and face of former U.S. President Barack Obama, so this guy from Indonesia must get hit up for autographs and selfies wherever he goes!

Sorry buddy, Barack has got you beat by a mile in the looks department, but Britney Spears' Macedonian doppleganger looks like she just stepped out of a cloning chamber- and may soon start touring in place of the pop singer. They can call it the Twice As Crazy tour!

Nerdiness used to have limits and boundaries set by publishers who claimed they knew what the people wanted to see, but as it turns out the people didn't know what they really wanted until the internet arrived.

So if you're both a Dungeons & Dragons player and an A/V nerd then you can thank Rob Beschizza for this incredibly niche-y Connector Alignment Chart you'll soon be sharing with all your friends via social media.

Even though Deadpool and the Punisher typically fight for the same side in the Marvel Universe the two gun happy dispensers of vigilante justice have clashed over the years, most recently in the mini-series Deadpool Vs. The Punisher.

And while this epic mini-series event would make a great movie the folks who own the rights to Deadpool and the Punisher will most likely never let a DP vs. TP movie be made because money.

So instead of having one of your nerdy dreams come true please enjoy this fan made trailer for Marvel's The Punisher Vs. Deadpool by Stryder HD. (NSFW language)
