The Zombie Iron Man costume combines two of the biggest pop culture phenomenons of this generation. Therefore, it is no wonder why people would consider the Zombie Iron Man as perhaps one of the best costumes this Halloween season. Of course, it is not in the same league as Heidi Klum‘s dead body costume, but that goes without saying. Not everyone has the celebrity klout she does to afford such quality.
Yet the Zombie Iron Man manages to do extremely well, effectively stealing the show during the Paris Zombie Walk 2011. The attention to detail is just amazing. From the bloody uniform to the popped-out eyeball, this costume will certainly be the hero of zombie-loving, Iron Man fans everywhere.
