Depending on where you are in the world, it’s probably too late to come up with a decent Halloween costume for yourself or your kids (and hopefully you haven’t disappointed your children and got them some interesting costumes by now) but here are a few geeky, tech-related costume ideas you could have considered yourself.

10. The Mark Zuckerberg Halloween Mask

This one is actually doable so you still have time to print it out and pretend you invented Facebook and how to deal with privacy matters. Via Gawker

9. The Krang Halloween Costume

It’s worth making one in order to chase after all those Teenage Mutant Turtles you’re going to find at your local party. Via Switched

8. The iPhone 4 Halloween Costume

This iPhone costume was fun a few years ago, but now, carrying around a 40-inch TV connected to your iPhone seems not the right way to celebrate Halloween no matter how many pillars your current iOS version has. If you really want to make it interesting, pick up a smaller TV and connect it to an Android device instead! Via Flickr

7. The Iron Man Halloween Costume

It’s actually a commercial, but not a bad idea. Who doesn’t love what’s-his-name that makes lots of guns and can fly a superhero costume? Via Likecool

6. The Jawa Halloween Costume

Star Wars costumes, unlike iPhone costumes, rule! Especially when your kids get to become a little Jawa ready for some trick or treating action on this strange planet we call Earth. Via Geekosystem
5. The Robocop Halloween Costume

Also made for your kids, the Robocop costume is epic. Easy to make, too bad there’s not enough time to have it ready.Via Sweet-Juniper

4. The StarCraft Ghost Halloween Costume

StarCraft is one of the best games every created, and since I don’t play Terans, the Ghost is one of my fierce enemies. But this Ghost Costume comes without nuclear bombing capabilities, not to mention there’s no cloaking mechanism either. Via Unreality
3. The Steve Jobs Kit Costume

This one is actually still doable. You’d need a printer, a couple of MacBook and iPhone boxes, so yeah, you must be an Apple fan, and the Steve Jobs Kit can be yours! In order to work you’d have to carry the boxes with you at all times while wearing glasses, jeans and a black turtleneck. Via Scoopertino

2. The Angry Birds Halloween Costume

I don’t have to explain this one to you, smartphone fans, do I? I just hope I’ll never see a million Angry Birds costumes at any Halloween party! Via The Clock Blog
1. The Trick or Treat Door Costume

Going trick or treating with a portable door and a few grandma costumes is a hilarious prank to pull. You and your friends will have to get enough candy to give out to everyone opening their door to knock on yours. Via Reddit

What will you and your kids wear tonight for Halloween?
