I dunno who all is actually putting on a costume to go out or stay in and hand out candy or whatever, but what’re your ideas? Bonus points for wordplay, visual puns, and topical references
I’m doing a couples costume as Kurt and Courtney
A Ninja costume but its the ones more by the kids in three Ninjas so you are a 90s Ninja.
I’m going to my work thing as “guy who sat next to you on the bus.” Sliders, fluffy sweats, t-shirt that’s a little too small, crooked bathrobe, tie, camo hat with a little tinfoil peeking out. Considering some conspiracy nut appropriate things to carry around in a Target bag, but my guy is a “Moon landing? You believe in the moon?” type of nut. I’m going to win all the prizes unless the government tries to stop me. Again. The same way the Reverend Moon shot JFK from the grassy knoll. They covered it up by saying the astronauts were doing a moon shot to muddy the waters. That’s why they made up the moon and the moon landing.
If I don’t win, I’ll at least give them a lot to talk about.
A costume that allows you to say the most annoying, unhinged things to your coworkers for the night seems very cathartic.
Gotta have a homemade water bottle filter 'cause of all the chemicals in the water that turn frogs gay
What are “sliders”?
Like flip-flops without the sexy toe thong. Just slide right in.
I see. Thank you. They were just considered to be (backless) sandals in my area/generation, but having a separate name for them is definitely better.
Three Hole Punch Jim.
I don’t really do that but I am meaning to have something this year with my face covered just to maximize the number of covered faces this holloween.
Slutty human.
Always in style
Father Thyme with like 4 lbs (1.8144 kg) of thyme from my garden made into a ghillie suit.
Or I could use the basil bushes on a dragon or dinosaur costume and be a basilisk.
I have to trim probably 100 ft (30.48 m) of wisteria vines that I could make a swamp thing, Groot, or ent costume with.
Just came up with those because I realized I don’t have one and I have a lot of gardening to get done.
Go as the number 4, with a “Hello, my name is: CA private key” sticker
A few years ago my nephew wanted the whole family to dress up as the Mickey Mouse club house group and he assigned me to be Minnie Mouse. I built a costume from off the shelf clothing (and a set of ears). I’m going to wear it until he’s in high school at least.
It’s a timeless costume
2 ideas:
- chemtrail weirdo with a tinfoil hat
- drawing 4 rectangles in a grid like the Windows Logo. Scary shit man.
My toddler is going to be dressed as Snow White because apples are their thing at the moment! I’ve got my lazy evil queen get up ready (sweatshirt with minimalist queen face and black leggings). Toddler proof, matches how they see me sometimes, and has extra life as a fun sweatshirt after Halloween.
Do they have a favorite apple, or just any apple? And toddler-proof seems like the most important property for a theme costume with a toddler.
I’ll share the low-effort one I thought of that inspired me to ask this, which to just write the number 4 in black marker on a white tee and go as a certificate authority, but I expect y’all to have better ideas.
My lowest effort was a white trash bag. I went as white trash.

The last idea is giving Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence but all of them sound fun — I love a couple’s costume.
We’re going Velma and Shaggy, mostly out of pragmatism.
