There are eleven others in this photo article from Buzzfeed, titled, "14 Beloved Children's Characters Turned 'Sexy' Halloween Costumes." Some of them, quite frankly, suck (IMNSHO).

Aww, c'mon Sir... number 2 in the article is totally gonna be big this year.


On the other hand...some of these costumes really are ... punderfully perfect. Thank you SW !

I used to take Halloween much more seriously than I do nowadays.

My go-to lately is horns and red facepaint and tuxedo.

One year we grabbed a unicorn costume from a yard sale-- made for a little kid. My son wore it by putting the unicorn-head hood over his head and letting the body fall behind like a cape. It was so damn funny looking, like a Mighty Hunter wearing his kill... Somewhere I have a pic of him playing ping pong with a girl in a panda suit.
 
My friend went as her Facebook page one year. It was HYSTERICAL! And simple. One big piece of poster board with a cut out to put her head through (her profile pic). She drew it all up to look like the FB page (as of that era), and attached a pad of paper so that people could "write on her wall".

I'm such a geek. I always go for the funny costume over sexy or scary. Perhaps why I never get laid on Halloween?

Pretty Polly Costume-"We love how they had to stick the box on there so you'd know it's a Barbie (sorry, "Pretty Polly") costume. Otherwise it's just a lady in a one-piece and a bad wig. We hope you weren't planning on eating or drinking anything at your costume party, honey. Or moving your arms. Or breathing too much.

Though if she gets drunk and vomits inside there, you'll wind up with probably the best Halloween party photo of your life."

Sexy Bull Costume- "Some commenter is going to point out that those bull horns are just sloppily photoshopped onto what is clearly a photo from a clothing catalog, but you can blame the costume makers for that, not us. If you pan down, you find no hooves or tail, just some nice slacks and dress shoes. The point being, this costume was so stupid they couldn't convince a model to put it on long enough to snap a photo."

Robin Hood Costume (Holding a spear)-
"Here's Robin Hood, standing proudly with the weapon he's least famous for. What's wrong Germany, couldn't you find a boomerang to give him?"
 
I think one of my favorites was described by a friend. A man wearing farmer's overalls with a straw hat. Nothing unusual there, until you see the toy sheep attached to the front of his overalls down near his hips.

I knew some one who did something similar, only he wore a kilt. :D

I've had a sheep costume floating in my head for several years, but I'm not thin enough to do it. Maybe I could alter it slightly and make a corset version.

....*ideas bubbling*....

I love John Cheese and would do all kinds of horrible, horrible things with him.

Just sayin'.

Yeah, that's why I didn't include number 2 in the pics. I figured I had been romping on the Mittster enough in the politics thread.

*Your* article, OTOH, could be cross-posted to the Pun thread.
 
*puts on glasses and clears throat*

I can clear this up for you, suge!

In short...

The "Modern" tradition of trick or treating and costumes was institutionalized mainly by the government around the 1950's because teenagers made it a habit of "tricking", or playing serious pranks in the Halloween season. The pranks weren't always innocently toilet papering people's trees, some of them mushroomed into serious dangers and massive money-sinks and inconveniences. To keep the kids out of trouble, the candy-and-costume "norm" was established, and quickly adopted by stores as another way to maximize seasonal profits by selling pre-made costumes and other Halloween themed paraphernalia. So much like Christmas originally started as something pagan and was eventually adopted and commercialized for profit, as was Halloween.

Crap. I can't copy the ones I hate most, so you'll have to go through their 21-page slideshow and find your own hates. That sucks, I know. Sorry.

They're here.
