The difference between a Halloween costume and cosplay comes down to perception and dedication. Typically costumes created for cosplay will be higher quality and detail-oriented. Cosplay is also a year-round hobby that is fully immersed in the larger cultural identity of geek and pop culture events. From Halloween to dress-up games, people have loved the idea of becoming something other than themselves, even if only for a little while. This idea carries on through the art of cosplaying.
