Title: Creating the Ultimate Halloween Costume: “Severe Delays” Inspired by the Victoria Line
With Halloween 2024 just around the corner, I’ve been busy conjuring up a costume that’s sure to stand out: a tribute to the infamous “Severe Delays” of the Victoria Line! Stepping onto one of those platforms and encountering a long wait is a shared experience for many, one that can now be transformed into a spooky and creative costume idea. 😱
This costume project involved crafting an outfit using LED panels, which were brought to life with a combination of WiFi-connected control chips and a custom software application on my phone. This setup allows me to manipulate the LED displays in real-time, simulating the digital screens that announce those dreaded delays.
The creative process was both challenging and thrilling, requiring a blend of technical skills and a playful sense of humor. If you’re looking to create a costume that pays homage to those endless waits on the platform, this might just be the inspiration you need!
Stay tuned for more creative DIY ideas, and happy haunting this Halloween season!
