Evil Robot
At least trying to put together an Evil Robot costume takes a little effort. It may not look scary when you get done, but at least you had to do a little work to make it happen. Yes, there are plenty of movies with 'scary' robots, but they usually fall pretty flat too. Classic movies and remakes certainly don't hit the mark. I was also extremely unimpressed with I, Robot, but that probably had more to do with my disappointment with the translation of the book into a movie.
OK, that rant is done. Let's talk about why robots aren't scary. First, I can't tell if the costume is a robot or the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. Second, even the most impressive robot costume is going to look clunky and awkward. Against a robot like that, it won't take more than a little push or a little bit of a run to get you out of harm's way.
Let me make one other attempt to try to convince you to avoid this costume. Wearing this costume may anger our future overlords and hasten their eventual rise to power.
