Brilliant DIY Costume Is A Mash-Up Of Freddie Mercury And Freddy Kreuger

Let me ask you this: Who are you dressing up as for Halloween this year? It's a tough one, I know. I still haven't decided on my costume, and Halloween is only a few days away.

But if you're looking for a truly unique idea, I've got one for you. This guy came up with the most fabulous character mash-up I have ever seen, and something tells me you're going to love it, too.

What comes to your mind when I mention the names "Freddie" or "Freddy?'

If you said Freddie Mercury, or Freddy Krueger, you're right on the ball there, ha, ha! These two Freddies are the inspiration for this Halloween costume, my friends.

He actually mashed up the two famous Freddies in one costume. Oh, yes, that's right. How did he accomplish this? Well, let's find out. Are you ready? Ha, ha!

Check this out.

This particular costume idea split the two distinct looks and personalities down the middle. And this man was able to do it with the help of makeup and clever clothing choices.

The final result looked something like this. Isn't that amazing or what?

OMG! I can't get over that?

That is the coolest idea ever. Am I right? He even called this creation "A Tale of Two Freddies," ha, ha! That's a pretty fitting description. Don't you think? I think both of these characters would appreciate that.

As you can imagine, this took a lot of planning and work.

But in the end, I'm sure it was worth it. How did he accomplish the disfigured look of Freddy Krueger? Well, he used a latex burn kit. Wow! It definitely looks realistic, huh?

This wasn't the first time this guy has come up with a unique costume.

Let's go through a few of his other incarnations. Shall we? I quite like his version of Slash here, haha. It's pretty spot on. Don't you think?

How about this funny take for this Carole Baskin Robbins idea?

OMG! That's a good one, right? I love a man with a great sense of humor. He nailed this one, too. Do you get what I'm saying?

And what do you think of his version of this 'Pop Art' here?

I love it too. This guy has quite the imagination for original costumes, that's for sure. I don't know about you, but he's giving me some cool inspiration for this year.

So are you digging this Freddie 'Merkruegery' idea?

Are you into it as much as I am, haha? Seriously, if this guy didn't already come up with it, I would totally consider wearing it this year. I think it's the most original concept I've seen in a long time, and I really love it.
