Halloween Costumes You Can’t Help But Appreciate, No Matter How Bad They Are
Halloween, spooky szn, the end of October, whatever you want to call it, it's all about creativity when it comes to choosing your costume. Whether you spend weeks planning your costume or you throw a sheet over your head at the last minute is up to you, but be warned, because people will be able to tell if you tried or not.
Whether you chose to go with a relevant costume like Pennywise from IT or as a Witch for the 15th straight year, you might as well go all out and then share it on social media to brag about!
Green-Eyed Monster
We can appreciate his commitment to the costume, even if the execution wasn't great.
There are only so many costumes you can pull off in front of a green screen right?
Ages 5 And Up
There are no limitations when it comes to Halloween costumes. If you find one that relatively fits, don't let something silly like a suggested age stop you.
You squeeze into that BB-8 costume labelled "5-10 year olds."
Taco Belle Of The Ball
Are you a southern belle who loves tacos? Here's your costume solution to make all your dreams come true.
Who needs a Prince Charming when you could have a Crunchy Taco Supreme?
The Office's Real Love Story
Who needs a boring old Jim & Pam couple's costume when you could be the ultimate couple: Kevin and his pot of chili.
Kevin, despite the fact that he fails, does everything he can to support his chili — that's real love.
Whippersnappers, Move Out Of The Way!
Say hello to the Insta Gram herself.
A little wit goes a long way when it comes to Halloween costumes, and punny costumes are always a good way to lock down that costume contest winning spot.
Might As Well Gogh Home
Imagine going to a costume contest feeling confident about your costume, then you walk in and see these two.
Might as well turn around and leave immediately because you're not going to win.
Living In Her Sister's Shadow
What do you do when your daughter demands you be Elsa to match her, even though you played Anna? You do it.
Unfortunately for Kristen Bell, she'll never be able to escape her Frozen legacy, at least not until her daughters are older.
Like Mother Like Son
It took us a second to figure out who was the mom and who was the son here because she did such a good job.
Dad probably wasn't thrilled that there were two of them in the house that day.
We Don't Want To Sea This
This is absolutely horrifying but also incredibly impressive.
Not sure how you accomplish anything with your face like this, or how anyone has the time to commit to this costume, but props to you.
Ronald McDonald In The Sewers
This man literally climbed into the sewer in order to be Pennywise. Sure, that shows commitment, but also why?
Follow up question: how long did he have to stay in the sewer before someone noticed him and freaked out?
Every Time We Do It Makes Us Laugh
This is like Nickleback inception. No matter how good the costume is, it automatically counts as a fail because it's a Nickleback reference.
That's the rule. You can't be good and be imitating Chad Kroeger.
A Stinky Situation
The poor kid that had to be the model for this costume.
He finally gets his big break into the world of print modeling, and this is what he gets stuck doing.
What's Your Angler?
This is a little (a lot) disturbing, but that's the point of Halloween right?
Bonus points for some serious creativity, but please stay far away — we'll admire it from a safe distance.
A New Kind Of FireMan
All we can picture is someone later in the night who's had one too many drinks trying to toss a log in there to keep the fire going...
And suddenly the fire-man has a concussion.
The Scariest Test Of All
Oh, you think your Halloween costume in scary? You haven't seen anything yet. This one takes the cake for sure.
Reveal this one to your boyfriend and he'll be as white as a ghost.
Fantasy Football
Oh, this is one of those fantasy couples costumes that isn't based on anything real, we get it!
Nice use of your imagination, but don't expect that dream to come true any time soon.
Khaleesi Would Approve
In need of a last-minute Halloween costume? Work with the props you have, aka your children, and become the Mother of Dragons.
It's an amazing costume, plus you get to keep your children on a leash. A Win-Win!
Is This A Game Night Or A Pizza Lunch?
It looks like that group email needed to specify what kind of Dominoes there were talking about, cause one girl's costume turned out far better than the rest of them.
The miscommunication makes these costumes the winner of the office costume contest for sure.
Wine Not?
Planning a costume that spreads over multiple years is peak Halloween.
Where do you even go from here? You've been the grapes, you've been wine, you could be a hangover next year.
Always Trashy, Never Classy
This costume's owner said their plan was to hide in dark corners, jump out at children to scare them, then make it better by giving them candy...
A little too evil maybe?
She's A Cat, Duh
It seems like she's trying to send a message with this costume. Why let him be another cat when you could make him be a litter box?
Maybe next year he can be a dog house.
Stranger Things Have Happened
It can't be that bad if Netflix reaches out to you, and references Kris Jenner in the process.
This guy put his fandom on full display and hopefully he gets many Eggo's when he's out trick or treating.
A Costume For Those Halloween Haters
For all those people who don't like Halloween and are sick of having to come up with costumes every year, this is the one for you.
Another option is to dress in regular clothing and print off a sign that says "Nudist On Strike."
Halloween Is All About That Subtle Wit
You laughed once you realized what the costume was right? Not The Little Mermaid costume you'd expect to see on Halloween, which makes it ten times better.
Poor little lobster doesn't know what's coming next...
A Millennial Scare
She definitely looks like she needs to recharge after a long few hours making these costumes!
Nothing is scarier in the age of technology than your wifi going down or your phone battery dying without warning.
Redefining Scandalous Halloween Costumes
We're not surprised he wanted to cover his face for this costume...
Hopefully wherever he's going has some big doorways otherwise he's going to be stuck outside, wishing he'd worn real pants.
Launch This Costume Into Space
You know immediately what this costume is supposed to be, which means it's not technically a fail, but also it definitely is.
Just because you did the absolute bare minimum doesn't mean we accept this costume.
Avoca-don't
There's a lot that we could say about this costume, but somehow, none of it seems worthy.
We'll leave you to draw your own conclusions, but it certainly leaves a pit in our stomachs.
Ticking Time Bomb
Who doesn't love a timely, relevant Halloween costume?
It may be at the expense of Samsung but that's what they get for making a phone that spontaneously combusts into flames.
He's Got Our Vote
You don't need to have knowledge of politics to acknowledge what a cute costume this father and son managed to pull off.
It seems like dad might be pulling more weight than the POTUS, but that's irrelevant.
Like Father, Like Daughter
If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, this dad should be seriously flattered at his daughter's spot-on costume.
Her costume is modeled after none other than her father himself.
Henry And Anne
Of all the costumes that you'd expect your children to want to dress up as, Henry the 8th and his beheaded wife Anne Boleyn were probably not the choices you would've thought were high on their list.
But what can we say, they nailed it.
I See What You Did There
This good boy has a leg up on the costume competition this year thanks to his clever owners.
He may only have three legs but that just means he's uniquely qualified to dress up as a tripod.
Modeled After Her Own Mother?
Every parent can relate to the tired look on this daughter's face.
This is probably the look her mother gave her when she saw her child's costume before she inevitably laughed at the accuracy.
He's Almost Too Scary
Your dog may be the smallest on the block, but with a costume like this, he'll be able to scare off any of the big dogs that might think of messing with him.
He's ready for the night.
Before & After The Party
As far as couples costumes go, this is a pretty solid one.
She gets to look nice and presentable, he gets to look messy and have fun, plus everyone gets a good laugh out of it.
Use The Green Screen To Your Advantage
Why does every weatherman or newsperson who has access to a green screen on a daily basis not take full advantage of that opportunity when Halloween rolls around every year?
This is genius.
Great Costumes Will Never Go Extinct
If you really want to prove to your boss that you've got great organizational skills, take on the roll of organizing a group costume for your office.
They won't be able to forget it!
What a FunGuy
The fungi on this costume look a lot like burnt pancakes, which it really could be considering how else would you make the mushrooms for this costume?
Unless he went digging in the forest for the real thing.
Pumpkin Patch Kids
We imagine the parents of these babies are also probably crying at this point in the photoshoot because this definitely didn't go as planned.
Pinterest moms never tell you about the work it took to get those adorable photos, but you know it took at least 50 shots and a lot of snack breaks.
