ECCC 2013 Costume Tally
Well as I may have mentioned during my previous reports I spent a lot of my downtime during the con recording all of the costumes that I saw. Having finally processed my notes I thought I would share my findings. A few caveats… This is an extremely inaccurate list. It is based only on the people in costumes who were walking through Artist Alley. (I saw a lot more “professional” costumes when I was walking around but I didn’t have my notebook) I only noted down costumes that I recognized, which discounts half of the people dressed as video game characters and there are probably quite a few characters I didn’t recognize correctly (for example I’m sure one of the people I recorded as Peter Pan were probably Link from Legend of Zelda) There were several relatively generic costumes that I grouped together even if I could tell if I could recognize the franchise so for example I put all of the Alice in Wonderlands together even though I could tell one of them was from the American Mcgee game. Finally since I was working the table I couldn’t maintain the list. But based on this I noted (that is recognized) 187 different costumes. To save space I’ll only list multiples, that is to say more than one.
So on Friday the most popular costumes were as follows.

All in all It was some pretty good variety. The one thing that struck me was there really wasn’t any real theme this year. Usually there are costumes that are so popular I wouldn’t have to do this tally to tell you what it was this year it was all over the place. Actually I take it back just a little bit. As I said the only costumes that I recognized. What looked like the most popular costume were these demon like people with gray skin, orange horns and a zodiac symbol on their shirts. Anyone know who or what they are?
