Daft Punk Halloween Costume Contest: It's On!

TDS Editors

UPDATE: Winners announced here.

Happy Halloween, y’all. The first entries into The Daily Swarm Daft Punk Halloween Costume Contest have started coming in, and while all of the photos we’ve received so far have been really impressive, for the moment the pair to beat are these two girls from Wisconsin who made quite the impact over the weekend at Vegoose.

Keep ‘em coming (send your photos to daftpunkcostume-AT-thedailyswarm-DOT-com). We’ll keep updating here until Monday, Nov. 5 when we pick the winners.

#3 Roller Scott says:

Those girls ended up spending around 500 dollars making those helmets. i guess it shows dedication to the cause, buts its just too bad when good ideas are wasted on shitty people.

Shout to them hot dudes in those sexy dp jackets (sam, ethan yall know its true)

The two guys on the couch near the bottom made some really nice helmets... too bad they didn't put any effort into the outfits, could have been a really impressive costume.

#5 Pat says:

That one Guy-Man costume has an ed banger shirt on! Nice!

#6 ashley says:

i think the two guys in the ed banger tees did a fabulous job on their helmets. probably if i saw them, i would've mistaken them for the real thing or something :]

#7 Kitty says:

Those last ones are fantastic! Did you vacuform the faceplate for the gold one or were you actually able to find something in the correct shape?

#8 Zed says:

The feeling is getting strong

But seriously, its 5 days later, when will the winners be announced?

#15 Sven says:

I'm guessing they did something with all of those replica helmets after filming "Daft Punk's Electroma."

eBay treasures, I must say.

#16 Pikminiman says:

I was just about to say that I saw those girls at Vegoose, too. I remember they were walking in front of the stage, and everybody thought it was really Daft Punk and started cheering for them. lol

#17 curious says:

what DID they do with all the helmets from electroma? they couldn't have been sold on ebay or we would've heard SOMETHING about it. maybe they're still floating around... MAYBE WE CAN STILL GET SOME!!!

#18 Daft Girl's Mom says:

#26 daftpunkfan says:

the last two were the best ones.well,my opinion.

#27 Rob says:

Shits Weak, my buddy made daft punk helmets, he put an eq in the gold one and it moved when he talked, the other one had an led scroll that you could program from an arm band. Took him like a week, made gloves with metal pads and put lasers in the fingers. shit was so cash.

#28 Yokomoko says:

Some of these should have left the concept of making their own helmet as just an idea you think about during a boring day at work. Most of these just flat out suck. Let Daft Punk wear the helmets, the rest of you just listen to the music. Like seriously, a cardboard box, really now.
