Doctor Who Costume & Cosplay Resources

In my research of Doctor Who related costumes, I've compiled a list of resources helpful for those cosplaying companions, as well as a other episode characters. They're too useful to keep to myself until I have full articles for each, so here's a quick link list.

Quick and Easy Dr. Horrible Costume

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.

In this post, I'll share a few pieces to help you put together a spooky Weeping Angel costume of your own, as well as a great from-scratch costume by one of the earliest Weeping Angel cosplayers.

Weeping Angels are one of the creepiest foes the Doctor has faced. The idea of a sad statue hiding a scary-faced monster... yikes.  Don't blink!

To portray them effectively has meant doing the costume completely from scratch - until now. With the release of a Doctor Who Weeping Angel mask, recreating the costume has become much easier.
