There was a video a couple years back of a giant clown scaring the crap out of people in Oregon. It's creepy, sure, but the elongated neck and stick arms made it a bit comical as well. Now, replace the clown with this Diablo (and the Halloween theme with a God of War track), and I would totally lose it.
Cosplayer Joshua Smith is already set up for next year's BlizzCon with a costume to celebrate the upcoming Diablo III. Built in two weeks with materials from Walmart, the result is the maw from whence all nightmares reside. Speaking of maw, the costume's mouth opens and closes properly, which doesn't seem like it would be impressive, but it is when you've got a headpiece that complex.
Take a moment to check out Joshua's page below to see more stills of the costume. Would anyone else be freaked out if they saw this guy on the street?

Now is the perfect time to go for a walk in the park, or hide in the bushes near a playground. Who's concerned about a pedo when THEY SEE THE LORD OF DESTRUCTION SITTING IN THE BUSH WITH THOSE GLOWING RED EYES! RAAAAH!
awesome job, tho i have no idea how he made it in two weeks- must have been able to work on it full time but even then thats good going. i made a master chief costume out of fibreglass, and that took almost a year just working in the evenings- granted this may have been made out of card or foam, and some of the geometry on the legs etc is less complex than the detailing on the chief, but the intricacies around the head more than make up for it! good work bud!

Also how does he manipulate the mouth, looked like both of his hands were actually hands so some sort of butt clench?
Seriously tho awesome work ^^
imagine this sneaking behind you and attacking you with that tail
The TAIL!!!!!!!
I think he just put a plate under his chin, which was attached to the thing's mouth.
That's what I would do, anyways.
This is seriously frakkin' awesome. I would love to run around the streets with this on.
Also, the feet look funny. Like a little girl wearing moms high heels.
Though, I can't stop laughing thinking of his neighbors eyeing each other while he walked around his driveway.
Awesome costume.
