The wonderful tragicomedy Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has developed quite the following since its appearance online in 2008. Cosplayers and Joss Whedon fans have fun costume inspiration in the over-the-top hero, Captain Hammer, the aspiring supervillain, Dr. Horrible, and their shared love-interest, Penny.
Of the three, Dr. Horrible is my favorite costume. While his goggles hint steampunk, at the same time they call to mind bug-like creatures, adding a touch of horror. His mad-scientist lab coat is almost impeccable - respectable - but when paired with his over-sized welding gloves and sturdy rubber boots, you just know this guy is up to no good.
Putting together a recognizable Doctor Horrible costume requires only a few key elements. Thanks to the film's independent budget, this costume can be recreated with ready-made components without breaking the bank.
