‘Too Soon’ Halloween Costume Ideas for 2014

10/29/2014

2 Comments

 
The booze-soaked festivities that we now call Halloween originated from a Celtic festival that marked the passing of the harvest season and the beginning of winter; the ‘darker half’ of the year. This time was understood to be a liminal, transitional period during which spirits from the beyond could enter our world. Feared and respected, these spirits were thought to revisit their former homes on this one sacred night. The living developed a practice of providing offerings to the dead, a practice that arguably transformed into our tradition of Halloween today.

While ancient pagans were drawn to fairies and spirits, we — like many others we know — prefer to use the holiday as an excuse to be a total jackass. In past years, we’ve seen costumes that have elicited laughs, hostility, and flat-out confusion. This year, we’ve compiled a slideshow of some of the best costumes we’ve seen walk through our doors, along with a list of this year’s  ‘too soon’ Halloween costumes! Enjoy.

1. Sexy ebola patient.
2. Chauffeur with cardboard sign for “Malaysia Airlines: Flight 370.”
3. Sexy ISIS rebel with assless burka. (And you have to sing ‘ISIS, ISIS, baby’ to that Vanilla Ice song all night.)
4. That U2 album that just appeared on my iPhone.
5. Drowned ALS ice bucket contestant. 
6. Zombie Robin Williams or Joan Rivers.
7. Go as a cloud, hand out nude celebrity photos.

How will you offend people this Halloween? Share with us!
