Four-Legged Costumes Inspired by DARK CRYSTAL and Miyazaki's Spirit Characters

View fullsize

These intriguing four-legged "stilt spirit" costumes were designed by Melissa Irwin and her husband, Garen. They were inspired The Dark Crystal and Hayao Miyazaki's spirit characters. 

If you like what you see, you can buy instructions on how to make your own at Melissa's Etsy store here for $10. Of course, you can save yourself $10 and try to wing it by doing it yourself.

The costumes are incredibly creepy, and that’s what I love about them. They also kind of remind me of The Wheelers from Return To Oz. Those things were freakin’ terrifying.
