Three days in a row of cool fall-like weather, reminded me it is time to open the 2nd Annual Major Spoilers Costume Contest! We want you to help us celebrate the upcoming Halloween holiday by having you – yes you – send up pictures of your bad self dressed up as your favorite comic book hero (or villain or side-kick, you get the idea). The best costume will not only be hailed as the Grand Prize Winner in Major Spoilers’ Costume Contest you’ll also win the Hellboy Animated Statue and a copy of the Hellboy Library Edition Vol 1: Seed of Destruction.
Here’s what you have to do:
Send three to four pictures (different poses/angles) of yourself in your favorite superhero costume (plus one sans costume) to us by October 25, 2008. Make sure you include your name, address, and the character you are supposed to be. The Major Spoilers crew, will narrow the list to five contestants (oh lord, let us have more than five entries), and readers will then vote on their favorite. The winner will then be announced October 31st.
Send your pictures to contest@majorspoilers.com
Last year, we had a plethora of entrants. Let’s make this year even better than the last! Get your entries in early!

International?
Ohhh…. gosh. Who am I gonna be? I really really want to be someone super cool….. I’m betting you guys’ll get approximately 40 joker costumes so I think I’ll pass on him.
i have one, but it was not originally a comic book character. so, my question is, does Star Wars characters count?
Oh and Stephen do you think any marvel characters will enter this year? Cause my entry is DC.
Hermit: I saw an Optimus Prime from last year, so yeah I think so.
nice. it’s not perfect, nor complete, but enough to enter. i lost some accessories.
that’s cool. I think I’m gonna try my hand at the Riddler. I always wanted an excuse to go for the character and this finally gives it to me. Thrift stores are gonna be my best friends for a while.
Lifesaglitch: Yes, international, but if you win, you have to pay any and all import taxes.
Hermit: Star Wars characters count (they are in comics)
I’m surprised there weren’t any Marvel entries last year – guess Major Spoilers readers prefer DC… :D
any way to see last year’s entries?
Wish I could dress up as my favorite character but I think there are laws against big fat guys dressing up as Starfire. At least in some states of Australia
Hermit: Yes, the search engine will reveal all when you type the words, Major Spoilers Costume Contest :D
I’ll show my halloween costume for this year: My own Green Lantern costume. It’s not like Jordan’s, or Stewart’s, but my own, customized one.
Can I get the Catwoman as a prize instead?
it suck, my costume won’t be 100% accurate. i had to change the color of some pieces, like the gloves. i don’t have time to look for what i need exactly.
meh, my costume still rocks. pictures soon
I kinda want to enter more than once. I got a ton of ideas seaching through some thrift stores this weekend. Hope I can put pics soon
That’s a good question. Can we enter more than one costume?
You may, all the same rules apply.
Sorry, Slappy, the Catwoman is spoken for.
I decided not to enter this year – I think I’d feel bad if I won, and probably worse if I lost. You may still wind up seeing me in an entry, since I posed with my fella in his Batman costume. Little more risque than the Catwoman, but definitely sweated less. ;)
crap, time is running short. i don’t know if i’ll make the deadline. to much accessories to built and buy, so little time.
Hey Sarah what was your prise last year?
Last year’s prize was the absolute edition of the Long Halloween. This year were stepping it up a notch
Any particular file size restrictions (min. or max.)?
I don’t need anything bigger than 1600×1600 but a minimum of 800×800
I entered… Not the best, but just had to give it a try. For Hellboy, Man! XD I can’t wait to see everyone’s entrees.
And remember:
The final vote is going to be up to y’all, the Faithful Spoilerites, so (as they say in Chicago) vote early, vote often!
