Felicia Day needs Halloween costume ideas or pneumatic glove

felicia-day-veronica-fallout-500.jpgFelicia Day is a fangirl, frequent Comic-Con goer, gamer and former star of the much beloved "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." Surely, she has a kickass Halloween costume planned out, right?

"I actually have no plans," she tells the press Monday (Oct.25) while discussing her upcoming Syfy original movie "Red: Werewolf Hunter." "I specialize in the complaining about having no costume at the last minute even though I should have planned ahead."

Day, 31, certainly knows herself well. The following Halloween-themed gripe appears on her Twitter account: "Does it make me a total weirdo that I'm incapable of buying a Halloween costume? It's crazy arts and crafts creation or no costume at all."

Apparently, Twitter is where much of her Halloween ruminations and conversations occur.

"Someone on Twitter this morning actually gave me a really good idea for a costume," she reveals. "They suggested I dress as my 'Fallout' character Veronica the scribe. I thought that would be kind of fun. If I can get a pneumatic glove built before Sunday I'll be there."

Day is a self-proclaimed diehard gamer who also voices the character Veronica Santangelo in Obsidian Entertainment's "Fallout: New Vegas," a game set in a post-apocalyptic mid-23rd century.

"I played ['Fallout'] for eight hours yesterday and finally recruited myself," Day says. "That was very odd to recruit myself and have to talk to myself, to me, who's a player. My character is so good in that game. I have a pneumatic gauntlet and I have one shot in which she's completely overpowered in a wonderful way. She has great one-liners. The writers told me they were definitely inspired by Joss Whedon when they wrote the character. So I have the best quips in the game I'd have to say not modestly."

Although she's currenly costume-less, Day does have Halloween plans on tap.

"A friend of mine actually has a really big Halloween party every year," she explains. "So Sunday I'll be at her house giving out candy because I'll like not giving candy to kids who don't have a costume on. I'm sort of the Candy Administrator of the block."

The day before on Saturday, Oct. 30 at 9 p.m. ET, Day can be seen in "Red: Werewolf Hunter" playing Vi, who comes from a long line of werewolf hunters beginning with the legendary Little Red Riding Hood. Vi faces a dilemma when her fiancee suddenly turns wolfy on her though.

Check back for more of Day's interview in which she discusses "Red" and her upcoming guest stint on "Eureka."
