Some people might rummage through their closet or head to the local Halloween pop-up store for a clever, or sultry costume to prowl the streets in. But apparently someone might just go a different route, shelling out more money for a costume than many consumers would pay for a house – or two, three, four, five, or more houses.
CNN Money reports that MorphCostumes created a $1.6 million morphsuit encrusted with 70,000 diamonds for anyone who wants to class things up this Halloween.
The suit, which is currently locked away in a vault in London, takes on morphsuit’s typical skin-tight spandex form that covers the entire body from head to toe.
Officials with MorphCostumes says the costume is a “bit heavy” and can be hard to see out of, you know because diamonds aren’t completely see-through.
“It’s probably not the most comfortable of our offerings, but if you roll the head part down, you can still be covered 90% in diamonds,” Gregor Lawson, co-founder of the company says.
The dripping in diamonds costume is just the latest in the company’s high-end “WTF” line, CNN Money reports.
If bling isn’t your thing, the company offers Overkill, the giant zombie-killing robot costar that promises to then the person underneath into “a living legend.” That over-the-top costume, which comes with laser effects and LED lighting, is a bit more affordable at $25,000.
If you’d rather spend money on candy than the costume you’ll wear for a few hours, MorphCostumes has more than 300 other costumes ranging from $30 to $45.
