Halloween: It’s always more complicated than you want it to be. Even if you’ve got your plans set, it’s a struggle to find the perfect costume — without resorting to the same crappy, overpriced, pre-packaged getups everyone else will be wearing. So, this October, Flavorpill is helping you out with easy, weekly DIY costume guides tackling four different pop-culture realms. Don’t worry — there’s no sewing involved.
For this third installment, we’re tackling some of the year’s biggest films, from zeitgeist-y smashes to campy flops. Whether you’re goth or glam, nerdy or mysterious, or long to emulate a total trainwreck, explore your movie-inspired costume options after the jump.
Mark Zuckerberg sticking it to corporate America, The Social Network
In what may be remembered as 2010′s movie of the year, Jesse Eisenberg is all twitchy dialog and nerdy superiority as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. While the T-shirts and hoodies he wears throughout most of the film couldn’t pass for a costume, the “fuck you” pajamas he throws on to meet a major potential backer will be instantly recognizable and a great costume for fans and haters alike.
The costume:
Gray plaid flannel mens robe – $49.50, Lands’ End
Blue ringer T-shirt – $5.71, Jiffyshirts.com
Green football-themed pajama pants – $14.99, Crazy for Bargains

Blackface? Worst Idea Ever.
@Duh
Actually, “blackface” traditionally means painting your face black/brown to portray a black person (generally in a negative or derisive light). Blacking out your entire face to give the impression that it’s been kept in shadow has nothing to do with race, and the connotations are 100% different. Obviously, we don’t condone blackface.
I love the trend of internet memes as the new pop culture Halloween influencer, even more than films. Nerve nailed it with this I thought:
