Imagine answering your door to this. This photograph was taken by Redditor /u/subliime. They said; “Almost had a heart attack when I opened the door.” At least there wasn’t a book to sign. The tall costume is Ryuk from the anime Death Note. He’s bored Shinigami (death god) who winds up getting mixed up in […]
Silent Hill – The cosplay fan film
Made by cosplayers for cosplayers. Silent Hill is the spooky came that’s created several cosplay favourite characters and plenty of nightmares. Seems perfect for a Halloween release. A female Pyramid Head, who would have expected that?

10 minutes of cosplay from the Anime Weekend Atlanta 2014
Beat Down Boogie went to Anime Weekend Atlanta this year. The result? Over 10 minutes of cosplay that made the final cut. This looks like a great weekend. The video highlights show a great range of people and it is nice to think that anime is now so popular. Do you see anyone you recognise? […]
Wow! Impressive Female Draenei cosplay

What was it like? MCM Scotland Comic Con 2014
This was the second ever MCM Scotland Comic Con and my second time going. The big difference was in the size of the venue. Still housed in the SECC but in a much larger hall, MCM had enough space to create a table and chair area, serve food from within the hall and look after […]
Carnevalesque’s Destiny & Delirium cosplay
Husband and wife couple Nanna and Steamwyck made this Sandman cosplay set for last year’s Carnevalsque. Dressed as Destiny and Delirium the pair took part in the event in Malmö, Sweden.
