The world may have waited 30 years only to find out that we don't have hover cars, dog walking drones, or fully-functional hoverboards (thanks a lot, Father Time!), but that doesn't mean we can't think 4th Dimensionally. Here today, just over a week away from October 21, 2015 - the day when Marty McFly, Jennifer Parker and Doc Brown famously ventured into the future in Back to the Future Part II - we have the distinct pleasure of seeing beyond our past to take stock of our "future".
In the spirit of exploring the delecate fabric of the space-time continuum, we bring you three cross-sections of time from the Back to the Future trilogy. And quite literally, we've pulled apart the threads to explore the principle costumes worn by Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and Biff Tannen throughout 1985, 1955, 2015, and 1985. Cosplayers delight - this is your source for finding the Back to the Future costume that no one else thought of for Halloween 2015! Enjoy the ride.

Thinking 4th Dimensionally
Back to the Future Principal Costume Progression Transcript
Back to the Future is a trilogy that bends the space-time continuum. Crossing generations, demographics, and our collective imagination, the legendary trilogy appeals to people from all walks of life through time. In celebrations of October 21, 2015—the day Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and Jennifer Parker traveled into the future—the time to think cross-dimensionally is here. Einstein (the physicist, not the dog) once said, "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." Here you can glimpse the timeless threads worn throughout the entire trilogy all at once. Call it your very own DeLorean.
