In honor of THE DARJEELING LIMITED, Wes Anderson's number one fan site RushmoreAcademy.com is running their first annual "Wes Anderson Inspired Halloween Costume Contest." So if you're clueless about what to dress up as this season, here's a great idea!
Make yourself look like any one of the characters from Wes's five films:
- THE DARJEELING LIMITED
- THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU
- THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS
- RUSHMORE
- BOTTLE ROCKET
...and click here to upload your photo.
The deadline for submissions is November 5th -- so you still have a week to come up with a costume.
The three categories you can win in are:
- Best Costume Overall
- Second Best Costume Overall
- Best Costume from THE DARJEELING LIMITED
And the three winners will each receive:
- DARJEELING travel bag, with “Darjeeling Ltd.” soap, hand sanitizer, and toothbrush
- Darjeeling tea in a “Darjeeling Ltd.” train box
- TDL travel ID tag
- "Savoury Snacks" packet
- Sweet Lime packet
Per the site: "Who will you be? Peter Whitman? Max Fischer? Steve Zissou? Wes Anderson himself? Bob Yeoman? Dart Boy?"
Again, enter the contest here!
Good luck and Happy Halloween... And go see THE DARJEELING LIMITED in a theatre near you!

This is absolutely hysterical. There's some great ideas for both kid's costumes and adult Halloween costumes http://www.costumesupercenter.com/adult+halloween+costumes.html.
