FRIGHTENINGLY BAD HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

That magical day is finally upon us -- IT'S HALLOWEEN! Scary children roam the streets looking for fattening treats . . . even MORE SO TODAY! It used to be ghouls, ghosts and goblins, but nowadays it seems that most of the costumes out there are horribly unfunny novelty costumes. Let's take a look at some!

KUNG FU LOU


What the hell is this supposed to be? A fat guy doing karate? I don't get it. FUNG YOU! Let's move on.

ROYAL FLUSH


Ugh. Didn't I click on the "humorous" section? Because that's not the least bit funny. Unless this guy actually gets pissed on.

FART-O-METER


Great. You can wear something that is going to make guys fart in your face all night. That could backfire on you--LITERALLY.

SPANISH FLAMINGO DRESS


The costume itself is okay, but it's a "flamingo" [sic] dress under the "Oriental and Ethnic Costumes" category. That's wrong on several levels.

FRANKENBERRY


Frank, you look FAAAAAAAABULOUS! Couldn't you just DIE? I mean, can you BE more pink? I just want to cover you in milk and eat you!

MAGNUM P.I.


If you're a private investigator, wouldn't explicitly stating that on your hat blow your cover? Not a wise move, Magnum.

THE GOVERNOR MASK


There are caricatures, and then there's this. Why does it look like his face is about to explode? Is this from the scene from Total Recall where he's struggling to breathe in Mars' atmosphere? And I don't know what Governor this is supposed to be, but it sure doesn't look like George Pataki.

DR. SEYMOUR BUSH, GYNECOLOGIST


Wait a minute, I've got plenty of lab coats, I could EASILY throw this outfit together in no time! Of course, none of them say "Seymour Bush" on them. But how can I convince women that I'm a gynecologist? I know: I'll wear it AFTER Halloween, that way they'll never suspect a thing!

PROM NIGHTMARE


"Ohhhhh SHIT! I KNEW we shouldn't have tried opening that bottle of merlot in the limo. Baby, I'm sorry about that. Do we have enough time to go back home and change? We could only afford to rent the limo for 45 minutes? I'm so sorry. Stop crying, I bet no one will even notice!" (I guess I can forget about getting to second base tonight. Man, what a prom nightmare.)

HOLY SHIT


Oh man, that's stupid. Never mind, check out these classic 70s costumes instead!

HONG KONG PHOOEY


Now we're talking! HONG KONG PHOOEY, #1 SUPER GUY! HONG KONG PHOOEY, QUICKER THAN THE HUMAN EYE!

WELCOME BACK, KOTTER


Were kids dressing up as Gabe Kaplan? That's sad.

H.R. PUFNSTUF


Forget drugs, kids! This costume is a WALKING ACID TRIP!

Crappy Halloween everyone!
