Halloween Themed Costumes and Cosplay: Bioshock Leadhead Splicer


Okay, so I know that whole #Bioshock thing is getting old, but come on - there's nothing creepier than crazed drug heads in formalwear and animal masks trying to kill you over a can of Spam. It's all so... #Rapture.

The creepiest part of it all is when you find out why they're dressed like that. When you first encounter these demented bunny men, they've already been here for years. Later, you discover that these crazed party goers are remnants of a masquerade ball, circa 1959.

Sander Cohen, the artist, also handed out masks like the one below as invitations to his exclusive club. Only the richest and most influential citizens of Rapture received one, and only those who possessed one of these strange masks could get in. If you play the DLC Burial at Sea, you have to steal one of these masks in order to gain access to Cohen's.

Over time, these masks became prized possessions - a necessary commodity to hide the severe facial deformities caused by their splicing addiction.
