I am the Keymaster!

Components:

* Cheap costume wayfarer glasses from a costume shop, packaged as generic "nerd" glasses. Low-quality plastic.

* Orange undershirt which is supposed to be a zippered turtleneck. I couldn't find one in time, and ended up substituting an orange polo shirt.

* Blue striped dress shirt, a size too big.

* Black trousers.

* The Headgear.

Ahh, that headgear. It is of course a metal colander, but it's really hard to pick out much detail in all the junk that's attached to it, even on the DVD.

First, I got a cheap metal colander from a dollar store, and broke off its handles with a screwdriver.

As a hardware nut, I had most of the wire and miscellaneous circuit boards in my basement. Among that junk is the innards of an old computer mouse and the guts of a dead hard drive, with some other random techie-looking things, such as a cheap tire gauge from a dollar store. One day I plan to take it a step further and add blinking lights of some sort. Done right, that could take it beyond even the movie one.

The red and yellow pegs regularly spaced around the thing are plastic anchors you get for anchoring screws into drywall. I used them with a smaller-sized screw than they're meant for, to keep them from splitting apart like they're meant to.

The chinstrap is a white fabric belt from a dollar store, cut to size and padded. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm looking to either pad it out more on the inside or replace it with a sports-gear chinstrap like the genuine article had. It's anchored in place with more screws and massive globs of glue.

Apart from the screwed-in anchors, everything is hot-glued onto the colander. Inside the colander is glued an old soft stocking cap to cover the rough screws and glue drippings and make it actually wearable.

This got great reactions at the Village Halloween Parade, and I made it a point to stay in character whenever I happened upon the groups of ghostbusters one always sees at that parade.
