Steve Jobs Haunting Apple Stores
Spending Halloween in the Apple Store might be an unusual way to celebrate the holiday, but in this context, it's quite genius! Dressing up as Steve Jobs and hanging out at his company's Apple store makes for one dedicated Halloweener!
This may not be the spookiest of costumes, but it definitely is clever! We wonder how many people had to do a double-take when they caught a glimpse of this guy. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 9 terrified Apple employees out of 10.
The Youngest Cat Lady in the World
Everyone can instantly recognize an old cat lady when they see one. From talking incessantly to their cats to lifting them up, like in the scene in The Lion King. This trope has been used quite often in films and books, which is why everyone knows exactly what you’re talking about when you say “an old cat lady”.
This kid’s Mom helped her create the iconic cat lady look, from the pink robe, the ‘70s grandma glasses, and, of course, the many cats hanging on her as she opens her arms in awe of the world. Congrats, Mommy, you’ve just made your kid into one of the world’s most recognizable and funniest tropes of all time. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7 cute cats hanging on this girl out of 10.
A Formal Apology
We have in our hearts enough room for about one play-on-words joke per day, and this guy is the first one we’ve seen so far, so things are OK for now. Apparently, he took the phrase “formal apology” to its logical conclusion by wearing formal attire, including a suit and tie.
He has a sign around his neck that says “SORRY,” making the joke quite obvious after about 5 seconds of attempting to figure out the meaning behind the outfit. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 1 play on word jokes out of 10.
Mr. and Ms. Pacman Make Out in Loving Union
It’s always heartwarming when a couple decides to dedicate their Halloween costume to a retro video game character that we all love and admire. Mr. and Ms. Pacman were some of the first video games of all time and dominated the arcade games arena for many, many years.
These are clearly homemade costumes, likely done using cardboard and really funny tights. We’d like to congratulate this beautiful couple for dressing as our favorite retro characters. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7.5 ghosts and Pacman out of 10.
The Headless Horseman Strikes Back
Finally, we’re back to some good old creepy Halloween costumes. This one is based on a mythical folklore figure that appeared in the Middle Ages called The Headless Horseman.
This costume wasn't too hard to make but definitely looks very cool — just take a kid and put him on a horse in a 19th-century costume with a headless stump at the end. (ok, we forgot to mention that, first and foremost, you must find a dog to take the horse's role). This one definitely deserves a high ranking as a creepy Halloween costume. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7 weeks without a head out of 10.
Walter White’s Evolution - an Amazing Montage
One of the most creative costumes on our list, which undoubtedly took a long time to think of and even a longer time to execute, is this brilliant portrayal of Walter White’s evolution through the iconic Breaking Bad series, often cited as one of the best shows of all time.
Fans of the show will undoubtedly appreciate this costume more than any other during Halloween. Whoever made this should be proud of himself. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 10 points out of 10 if you're a Breaking Bad fan.
Samsung’s Infamous Exploding Phones Costume
Near the end of 2016, a few cases of Samsung Galaxy Note exploding were recorded and were attributed to design flaws that would enable the battery to bend, causing a short circuit and a subsequent explosion of the phone's parts. It got so bad that, at one point, there were actual signs urging people not to use Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in buses or buildings.
This lady decided to jokingly reference this incident by posing herself as an exploded Samsung device. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7 exploding Samsung Notes out of 10.
Real Life Error 404 - Costume Not Found
Just take a random white shirt, write “Error 404 | Costume Not Found.” and you’ve just saved yourself the money, time, and energy to actually create a real costume. Something about the guy screams “I’m not the kind of guy that participates in social events”. Anyway, this guy should probably go see Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, we’re sure he’ll get a real kick out of it.
Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 2 cares, efforts, and creativities given out of 10. Our next entry shows what happens when you combine an umbrella and some very strong winds.
Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” Makes a Return
Fans of horror movies will instantly recognize this costume as a reference to the classic Alfred Hitchcock film The Birds. Most people have missed this film since it was released back in 1963 as a black and white movie, but it definitely became somewhat of a cult classic as the internet often references various horror scenes from the films that were scary back then but looked like comedy in today’s perspective.
The lady in this picture dressed up as Tippi Hedren, a young socialite and main protagonist of the film. It’s not too hard to create her look; you just need a ‘60s blonde wig and some fake crows. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 4 aggressive birds out of 10.
The Cutest Oogie Boogie We’ve Ever Seen
If you haven’t watched Tim Burton’s classic film A Nightmare Before Christmas, you might not recognize the iconic Oogie Boogie. This creature is the main antagonist of the film. It's basically a burlap sack filled with insects. In this particular case, Oogie Boogie is made out of the cutest little kid in the world.
This is definitely one case of a truly creepy villain overthrown by the adorableness of a young child. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 1 cute child out of 10.
This Guy Cut Himself in Half for Halloween
This trick is actually fairly easy to pull off if you have a few spare clothes, some scissors, and an aptitude for illusions. Still, it’s a very creepy sight and undoubtedly turned his poor parents’ faces blue when they first saw him in his costume.
We believe that trick or treating went smoothly for this young lad; with a look on his face like this and his sense of style, it’s hard to imagine he had any problem with the neighbors. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 8 boys without lower body parts out of 10.
A New Hero Has Emerged, Amazon-Bots Unite!
What happens when you take Optimus Prime, an alien robot hero who became a defender of Earth, and couple him with Amazon Prime, the world’s leading product delivery service? You get the incredible Amazon Optimus Prime, an all-powerful robot with the ability to deliver packages while saving cats from trees, providing millions of high-paying jobs, and improving the world’s economy.
Would it be too extreme to guess that the person posing behind the costume is none other than Amazon Founder and the world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos? He and his wife were recently divorced, which might explain this typical male behavior on the part of Bezos. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 2 crime-fighting Bezos’s out of 10.
These Anglerfish Will Give Your Kid Nightmares
This is one of the creepiest costumes we’ve seen; these anglerfish impersonators took a blue lamp and arched it over their heads, with a black mask to hide their mouths and long, protruding teeth that make you wish Christmas had come sooner. This is truly an awesome costume because it works great in regular lighting but works even better in the dark.
We can only imagine how scared we would be if someone came up to us from behind, and this was the first thing we saw. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 8.5 glowing anglerfish teeth out of 10.
This Grumpy Cat Has Some Competition
If anyone has been using the internet for any period of time, it’s highly likely that you’ve stumbled upon the Grumpy Cat meme at one point or another. This woman decided to embrace the Grumpy Cat meme and become the meme herself.
We’ve got to hand it to her because this is one of the most accurate impersonations of Grumpy Cat we’ve ever seen, and it is instantly recognizable by anyone with even a basic love for memes and the internet. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 4 grumpy cat stares out of 10.
This Family Is Not Safe for People With Diabetes
If there’s one picture that could properly show you how to 1. Be an awesome family, 2. Create an incredible collection of matching Halloween costumes while staying frugal, and 3. Look damn awesome while doing it; we would definitely point you to this wonderful family. Everything about this is extraordinary and awesome, from the parents using cardboard boxes for their tasty costumes to the incorporation of their two little kids as snacks.
It looks like they’re the ones who are going to get mangled in this year’s trick-or-treat. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 2 beautiful snacky children out of 10. Our next entry has a very innocent intention but comes across as very weird and scary.
The Most Annoying Assistant of All Time Is Back
Anyone who has used Microsoft Word back in the late ‘90s and early 2000s will recognize the infamous animated Clippit who would pop into your document and ask you the famous line “It looks like you’re writing a letter. Would you like help?” inside a white dialogue box like in comic books. When people saw this message the first thing they usually did was rush to find the “Don’t show me this tip again.”
What’s haunting about Clippit is that despite asking the weird metallic object to not appear ever again, it would still somehow find an excuse to magically show up at a later date while you’re working on a new document. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 10 annoying Clippit messages out of 10.
Guy Uses 3D Printing to Replace His Own Face
This guy decided it was time to take power from Hollywood and bring it to the people using the magic of affordable 3D printing, so he scanned his own face and had it printed, only to paint his face in a manner that made it look like he had it cut off.
Luckily for our faceless dude, the psycho let him keep his own face, which is why you see him in the picture walking around with it and hoping to find a surgeon crazy enough to try and piece this abomination back together. Scalpel anyone? Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 9 lost faces out of 10.
Stranger Things Cosplay With a Catch
This cute couple also decided to dress up as characters from the popular Stranger Things series. In the show, Winona Ryder plays Joyce Byers, the mother of one of the missing boys who does everything in her power to find him. She begins to experience strange visions and starts to communicate with her son through lights and various psychic premonitions.
The guy in the picture, however, is not cosplaying as one of the characters, he's actually pretending to be the wall. These are some of the most original Stranger Things costume combinations we’ve seen in a while, nice! Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 6 missing Will Byers out of 10.
Cosplaying as Toy Story's Most Beloved Long Dog
There are plenty of people dressing up in Toy Story costumes due to its massive mainstream appeal and the fond childhood memories it still gives us. The film was released in 1995 by Pixar and was actually the first entirely computer-animated feature film in history. It was also Pixar's first film and would make the CGI studio one of the most popular film studios in the world.
One character that doesn't seem to get as much attention from fans, though, is Slinky Dog, who participates as one of the cutest and most remembered characters in the film. These two ladies decided to create a low-budget version of the character and use both their bodies to do so. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 8 cute slinky dog references out of 10.
A Very Unique Peter Pan Costume
One of the most popular scenes from the classic cartoon Peter Pan film is when Peter is visiting the Darlings' house and gets his shadow captured in a drawer. In the film, his shadow is an independent "person" with a completely unique personality that has nothing to do with Peter Pan's actual body. The shadow usually follows him and mirrors his behavior but occasionally decides to take up its own life and even communicate with the boy who never grows.
The guy in the picture decided to dress up as Peter Pan’s shadow by wearing a Peter Pan costume and painting it black. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7 scary black costumes out of 10.
Bacon, Kevin Bacon
While there’s nothing inherently unique or hilarious about a bacon costume, it’s still a great solution for anyone who’s lacking in ideas or time to create their own costumes. This cute and smart girl, however, wanted to make sure that nobody would forget her bacon costume. How did she do it? Simple — by adding a name tag with the words “Hello, my name is Kevin.”
In case you’ve missed it, the actor that this girl was referencing using her costume is none other than Kevin Bacon! Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 8 Kevin Bacons out of 10.
Han Solo + Solo Cup = Han Solo Cup
Every Halloween, you'll find numerous amounts of Star Wars cosplayers who love the chance to pretend to be their favorite characters from the iconic franchise. Most people don’t know that Star Wars actually made more money through their merchandise than by the viewings of their super popular films.
This wonderful Han Solo impersonation took one of the coolest costumes in the world and made it even better by creating a smart play-on-words reference — Ever heard of Solo Cups? They’re a very successful company that sells cups to almost every theater and stadium in the United States. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 1 awesome Han Solo Cup out of 10.
Halloween Cerberus Is Extremely Frightening
One of the scariest creatures from the Harry Potter franchise is Fluffy, Hagrid's loyal monstrous three-headed dog. The creature is based on the Greek mythological dog called "Cerberus", often nicknamed as the "hound of Hades". The job of Cerberus was to guard the gates of the Underworld and prevent the dead from leaving.
This cute kid dressed as Harry Potter and put two scary dog heads up against the head of their own loyal companion. The result is a very frightening costume for a very cute kid. We would definitely not want to have this thing running towards us at night, so it’s good that the photo was taken during the middle of the day. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 9 monstrous Cerberus heads out of 10.
Jon Snow Having Some Issues With His Gender Identity
The third and final character we’ll show in this list from the popular Game of Thrones HBO TV series is none other than the series' main protagonist, Jon Snow. This is quite an awesome costume and is also fairly easy to make, as you only need a long black wig, a black fur coat, a costume, and an unshaven beard.
We applaud you, Jon Snow White. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 8 horrible last seasons out of 10.
Before and After
Classic party problem: How to dress up as something that's equally relevant and scary? This guy had the perfect solution. Isn't it amazing how much of a difference one year can make? This guy chose to honor that by commemorating it in a Halloween costume.
On the one hand, you have a clean, neatly dressed man, but on the other hand, you have a frazzled survivor looking like he barely escaped a catastrophe. Scary Halloween costume rating: 7 apocalyptic years out of 10.
The X-Files
Just like watching the X-files, Halloween is a time when anticipation and expectations are high, so what better time to dress up as your favorite detectives, Fox Mulder and Dana Skully? This has to be one of the punniest costumes we've seen in a while.
These costumes will not only make you seem clever and creative, but interesting and knowledgeable, too. With all that in mind, let's get down to the facts — Punny Halloween Costume rating: 9 detectives out of 10.
Alien Abduction
Were you one of those people who were 100% obsessed with aliens and desperately wanted to know more about extraterrestrial life? Well, then, this might be your next Halloween costume idea: A homemade UFO Alien abduction.
Lean into the otherwordly with any combination of the following: an overhead UFO, some loosely hanging tassels, and a face that screams, "What's happening?!" Alien Halloween costume rating: 8 abductions out of 1o.
Zootopia
Problem: you just found out the Halloween store is totally out of "Sassy" firefighter costumes. Solution: you did manage to find the Sloth costume from the "Zootopia" movie that perfectly fits in with your job.
If you hate elaborate costumes, then this costume will keep it simple while still bringing endearing vibes, taking you from the party pooper to the conversation starter. Lazy Halloween costume rating: 7 sloths out of 10.
Curious George
If you grew up watching the animated series "Curious George," you would know about this sweet monkey who can't help but run into trouble. It sure looks like it could be an easy DIY costume — all you need are a few pairs of stockings and scissors.
This is definitely one for those parents who were a little forgetful about Halloween this year. Don't forget the ears and bushy tail! Kids' Halloween costume rating: 6 monkeys out of 10.
A Topical Costume
"This is a tremendous costume. The best costume. Believe me, nobody knows costumes like I do. Everyone always tells me I'm the best at judging costumes."
Sure, this one might be a little controversial, but if you want a costume that'll start a conversation or two, this will definitely do the work. Topical Halloween Costume rating: 6 bleach bottles out of 10.
Yin and Yang
Using ancient wisdom to impress your friends on Halloween is always a good flex. This photo is proof that Yin-yang symbols aren't just for poorly-inked tattoos; they're also a great costume idea for couples.
All you need is black and white paper and contrasting black and white outfits. Nifty and easy! Clever Halloween costume rating: 9 ancient symbols out of 10.
Lego Couple
Lego fans, this couples costume is for you. It will require some DIY work but it will be worth it if you can pull it off. You'll want to find a decent tutorial and some props to make your Lego costume as exact as possible.
Plus, this might be a great way to announce your engagement by dressing as a Lego bride and groom. Crafty Halloween costume rating: 9 lifelike Legos out of 10.
Beetlejuice Costumes
The 1988 classic is indisputably the ultimate Halloween film, and these freaky latex monster masks pair well to create a spooky costume look that will bring about some heebie-jeebies.
While aspiring "Bridgerton" and "Stranger Things" fans should be plenty visible among the costumes this Halloween, it never hurts to stare deeply into the past and find a costume from a bygone era. Classic Halloween costume rating: 9 ghosts out of 10.
Shameless Picasso
This next entry has so many interesting things about it. First, the creativity. Taking a world-famous artist and bringing him back to life through a Halloween costume is WOW as far as we are concerned. The execution is pretty good, considering she had to walk with her head tilted to one side for the entire party.
The second interesting thing about this creation is the person behind the mask. If you haven't recognized this person, it's about time we reveal her. This is Emma Kenney, best known for her role as Debbie in "Shameless" and for her role in "Roseanne." Cultural Halloween costume rating: 7 paintings out of 10.
Prada Is the Devil
It took us a few seconds to acknowledge the genius behind this Halloween costume. At first, it looked like this lady wasn't investing too much into her costume this year, but then, when we realized what was behind it, we had to give it a big thumbs up.
With so little effort, hardly any accessories, and definitely not too much time spent in front of the mirror, all this costume needed was a top that said Prada on it (who doesn't know someone who has one? And with a simple devil's headpiece and red or black makeup, you are ready to go. This is going to be one we are going to adopt. Hollywood Halloween costume rating: 8 movies out of 10.
Put Another Shrimp on the Barbie
Meet Nicole. Nicole was born in Australia. However, these days, she lives happily in the USA. There are many beautiful things about being Australian, and one of them is the outdoor life, the hot weather almost all year round, and, of course, their love for outdoor cooking and barbeque especially.
There is nothing better than a hot skewer with shrimp on it alongside cold beer on a hot summer's day. Or, on a Halloween day. "Put Another Shrimp on the Barbie" is a phrase similar to many Australian immigrants, and this Halloween, Nicole decided that she was going to live up to everyone's expectations. Overseas Halloween costume rating: 6 Barbies out of 10.
Chip on My Shoulder
This Halloween creative costume was specially designed for those who do not necessarily want to go to a Halloween fancy dress party; their best friend has persuaded them into going, and other than a packet of chips they do not intend to put any accessories or makeup on them. Sounds perfect for us. So, although this is simple yet creative, there are two issues here we must take into account.
The first is, how long will Kylie Mcdonald be able to hold the chips on her shoulders without pulling a muscle? The second issue we have is what happens if she bumps into a foreigner who calls them 'crisps', and they ask themselves, for the entire party, what was she thinking? Yummy Halloween costume rating: 7 bags of chips out of 10.
Smart Cookie
There is nothing smarter than being smart and emphasizing it wherever you go. We just love this one. Brandi Wolfe was for sure one smart cookie when she realized she had nothing to wear for the Halloween party except a pair of old cookie pajamas. All this required was a box of cookies, a graduation cap, and a great big smile on her face.
Halloween is fun; it's time to let your creativity go wild. However, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to spend a lot of money and go to the extreme. Stick to things you love and shed light on what you have. Clever Halloween costume rating: 8 cookies out of 10.
An Old Fart With a Young Heart
By the look of this Halloween costume, the person is not an old fart at all. This is, without a doubt, the lighter side of what getting old is all about. Could you imagine her knocking on your door, trick or treating? The whoopie cushion can be easily made by buying an oversized sweater and printing an image of a cushion.
A simple gray wig, a pair of glasses, and a mature women's handbag will complete the look. We all know that Halloween is all about having fun, but who knew that growing old can be so much fun, too? Pensioners Halloween costume rating: 6 walking sticks out of 10.
Bud Lightyear
This charming young lady named Rhiannon Noelle had the coolest idea to combine a Disney classic for kids with an alcoholic beverage for adults. Whipping up a pair of space gloves and a pair of wings (which looks like quite an achievement), all she needed to complete her look was a shirt with the logo of her favorite beer.
The look was tied together with this winning pose. We don't know if there was a costume contest at the party she went to but she is definitely a winner in our books. Don't you just love the gloves? Vintage toys Halloween costume rating: 7 lightenings out of 10.
Creating Memes
We are going to be honest here. When we first saw this costume, we had no idea what it was about. And to tell you the truth, we still don't know. For sure, it is creative and makes you look at all the little details, but what is it supposed to be? It's a dog; we see that holding a white mug, fire flames circling all around, and a sign saying that they are fine.
After deep research, we learned that this was taken during the pandemic days, and it's supposed to be a takeoff, a supposedly known meme with the dog sitting at a coffee table when the room is on fire and calmly saying...this is fine. Will everyone get this one at the party? Not sure... Domesticated companion Halloween costume rating: 5 barks out of 10.
When Life Gives You Lemons
When you look wonderful and are also able to deliver a message, then for us, you are the winner of the costume competition. When this beautiful woman stood on the corner of Church St., no one understood what she was on about. Was she a lion escaping Africa? Was she just a woman wearing a top that says LIFE? And what do the lemons have to do with all this?
Everyone we know has been through difficult days, and we can all relate to this at some stage or the other. When life gives you lemons, go out there and make lemonade. Be sure to add as much sugar as you want, as there is no such thing as too sweet. Intelligent Hallloween costume rating: 9 lemons out of 10.
Captain Canada
This is Jason. He figured that Captain America might be overrated and that our neighbors to the north need a superhero too. so he decided to go for a red maple leaf and a ridiculous look on his face. What is Jason's calling? And what is he trying to say here? That Canadians are sweeter? That we are all alike? Or that there is no need to continue staring at the bottom part of his body, as the top part is equally awkward?
We must say that we love the fact that he saw a need to salute the photographer. It was probably a very challenging task to take a photo of this and still remain calm and serious. We don't think we could have done such a good job. Nationality Halloween costume rating: 8 flags out of 10.
Into the Future
Way back in the 1980s, when Ken and Barbie were at their prime, no one thought they would still be going strong in 2023. Adding on to that, no one could imagine that Ken would look anything like this no matter how popular he would become.
To appreciate this costume, one would have to watch the movie. If this were just a guy dressed up for a fancy dress party, then we would have given him a TEN, but with his commitment to every detail in the character's look, down to the KEN fanny pack, we give him eleven. Future Halloween costume rating: 7 Goslings out of 10.
