These Halloween Costumes Are Scary
For all the wrong reasons.
It was pretty easy to find a collection of photos of really bad Halloween Costumes. The difficult part was knowing when enough was enough and to stop looking at these horrible costumes.
I tried not to include awful Costumes that were either 'just plain wrong' or that leave the viewer feeling like they need a shower. I was going for ones that were slightly disgusting, yet still funny.
(Halloween is October 31, 2009)
Why showcase the bad Halloween costumes?
Why not? Everyone else always shows off cool costumes that they find or ones that are so creative you wonder how the person came up with the idea.Personally, I enjoy a good laugh and Halloween provides an easy time of that with "bad costume" watching. A bad Halloween costume is like a bad car accident - you don't want to look, but you find yourself staring anyway.
We all went to school with at least one or two kids you could count on forgetting about a Halloween costume until the night before Halloween. They were the kids who were always asked by the adults, "and what are you supposed to be?"
One time my cousin showed up to a Halloween party wearing an old motorcycle helmet and black winter gloves. I guess he was going for a Junior Hells Angels look or maybe Ponch from CHiPs.
Anyway, this is meant to be a celebration of bad Halloween costumes. I found countless (and tacky) variations of "terrorist" costumes, a 'poop suit' (yee-ha, think I'll be a turd for Halloween), and someone dressed up as a urinal.
Yep, finding bad Halloween costumes is like shooting fish in a barrel.
P.S. the photo on the right is supposed to be a low-budget Bart Simpson costume. Priceless.
Worst Halloween Costumes Ever
Here they are folks. From poop suits to a guy dressed up as a urinal. Yes, a urinal.
I have them set in no particular order. Go ahead on vote for the one you think is the worst.

5 Worst Halloween Treats
Poisoned candy scare
The poisoned candy scare was a moral panic in the United States (and Canada) during the 1970s and 1980s regarding the threat that children could be in danger of ingesting razor blades, needles, or poison introduced to candy by tampering, especially during traditional Halloween trick-or-treating. Apart from one incident?actually an act of premeditated murder by a trick-or-treater's father?there have been no recorded incidents of deliberately poisoned candy during Halloween or any similar occasion.
Absolute Worst Halloween "Treats"
Everyone can remember the worst treat they ever received on Halloween. Whether it was a handful of black licorice jelly beans held over from Easter or a pencil - we've all received them at some point during our Trick or Treating years.
Here is a list I have started. Feel free to add yours and vote.
Popcorn Ball
Um, I received one of these numerous times over my Halloween career. These softball-sized lumps of stale popcorn were glued together with corn syrup or something and drizzled in some shade or another of food coloring.
A definite tooth breaker. I never recall making more than an attempt or two at taking a bite from one of these.1 point
A Pencil
A sharpened pencil no less. It seemed like every year I would get a least one of these and the sharpened point would tear a hole in my trick or treat bag.
By the end of the night my horde of candy would be seeping out through the numerous holes wrought by the crummy pencil.1 point
Apple
Okay, we were all kids once, right? What adult thinks that a kid is going to truly appreciate an apple when they have yummy sugary candy to choose from instead?
Plus, apples become weapons of minimal destruction when used as missiles and launched in a pre-emptive strike against the apple giver's house.1 point
Stickers
What may be their idea of a treat feels more like a trick to a kid expecting candy. Who goes and buys a roll of stickers to give out at Halloween anyway?0 points
Rock hard peanut chews
Anyone else out there receive a plethora of those nasty rock hard peanut flavored chews wrapped in either black or orange wax paper?
After all of the good candy was gone I would be forced to get my sugar fix with one of these jawbreakers. I would have to stick the whole thing in between my cheek and gums like a pre-adolescent tobacco chewer just to soften it up.
There are probably still some remnants of those awful candies still digesting in my stomach.0 points

- In my opinion homemade costumes rock. Bad costumes are those ones that come from those pop up halloween stores that are completely slutty even when they are for 8 year olds!
