Guy Constructs 13-Foot Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Costume
Quote:
"Ghostbusters" may have come out two years before he was born, but Tyler Reid remembers obsessively watching the New York sci-fi comedy in his formative years -- resulting in the 24-year-old building his very own Stay Puft Marshmallow Man for Halloween this year.
"I originally thought of the costume back in February while brainstorming ideas for a bigger and better Halloween costume than last year's," he said. "When everything's said and done, this bad boy will stand 13 feet tall and about 6 feet wide."
During the day, Reid works as a mechanical engineer for a dental company. ("It's a fun job and it's always neat to see your designs in people's mouths, even though they're usually causing them pain," he says.)
And whatever extra cash the fanboy rounds up designing orthodontic brackets he puts toward the Mr. Stay Puft project, which has become much more involved and expensive than he had planned.
