Get ready for a night of fun in these delightfully absurd Halloween costumes! Halloween is that special time of year when kids parade around in cute costumes while parents bring up the rear, enjoying a drink or two. This year, why not take the opportunity to don a costume of your own? But not just any old outfit — we’re talking about a costume that’s so entertaining it’ll have your friends exclaiming, “That’s outrageous! I need a hundred pictures of this!” And if it ends up mortifying your kids, even better!
Remember all those times your children complained about being embarrassed because you made eye contact or exhaled too loudly in public? It’s time to show them what real embarrassment looks like. They won’t be worrying about your breathing when you’re strutting behind them in one of these eye-catching getups.
Roar! I’m a Lion!
For this costume to shine, go barefoot (lions don’t wear shoes), and prance from house to house just like the picture shows. You can’t be a casual lion in sneakers and expect it to work! Plus, Prancy the Lion is on sale at Kohl’s right now; even without reviews, we’re pretty confident that wearing it will be a five-star experience at least.
A Big, Steaming Pile of Yes!
Now we’re talking! The oversized giraffe head truly elevates this outfit to another level (you’re welcome). Don’t forget the hooves on your hands; they may make sipping your drink more challenging, but they’ll definitely entertain those around you. Bonus points for pretending the giraffe head is doing the drinking for you.
How About Deez Nuts?
Honestly, this costume might be too good for us. The nut-themed jokes alone make it worth every cent. Plus, you get to embody a squirrel, complete with silly faces and noises. Accompany your kids to the door, shout “Trick or treat!” while shaking your tail, and pretend to nibble on your acorn. They’ll love it; we swear!
I’m a Banana and I’m Happy to See You!
Nothing screams “nice to meet you” like a cheerful banana. This particular banana looks like it might be in peril, but we’re confident others will applaud your costume choice. Produce rarely makes an appearance on Halloween, so you’ll definitely stand out in a way your kids will not appreciate. Next year, maybe you can go as a mango or a squash — wouldn’t that be fun? (Please forgive us.)
What’s That? Oh, It’s Bacon!
Dressing as bacon requires a bit of character development. Picture Bacon as a seasoned, slightly jaded character who’s maybe had one too many drinks. After trick-or-treating, head to the local bar, light up a cigarette, and regale the bartender with your work woes.
Just Do It. For Us.
This costume features a large plush dog that saves lives and gives out candy (though it’s all out of lollipops). Who doesn’t love a cuddly dog? And who doesn’t enjoy the anonymity that comes with being a big plush pup? Add a “Deputy Dog” voice, and you’re in for a fun time. Fun fact: St. Bernards used to rescue people buried in snow by digging them out and then lying on top — a curious scenario to ponder while you’re out trick-or-treating.
Meet Half-Assed, the Unicorn.
Let’s face it; not everyone wants to commit to a full-body costume. This option is perfect for those who want to embrace the unicorn vibe without going overboard. The challenge arises when you want to remove the headpiece while still sporting hooves — asking someone to help with that will certainly break the ice with fellow parents.
Merry Christmas Right Now!
Don’t let anyone tell you it’s too early to celebrate Christmas! If you adore the holiday season, this Christmas tree costume is just for you. People will be puzzled, your kids will cringe, and you’ll be having a great time. Once your kids say “Trick or Treat” and collect their candy, you can flash your finger guns and cheerfully announce, “Have a holly jolly Christmas!” This might just be the most fun idea ever.
See? Adults can enjoy Halloween too! Choose a costume that tickles your funny bone, hit the streets, and spread some cheer while other parents frantically search for their Pokémon-clad kids. Have a fantastic time this Halloween!
