Who can forget 1991’s brilliant portrayal of a murderous cannibal psychopath who has an appetite for young detectives? When Anthony Hopkins first took the role many decades ago, moviegoers were absolutely horrified and subsequently avoided fava beans for many years to come.
This guy, however, likely isn’t cunning or brutal, though he might be witty and creative. With what seems to be one of the creepiest costumes of the year, we have Mr. Lecter here carrying himself in his own straight jacket and iconic mask. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7 points out of 10 for a potentially terrifying costume that’ll give someone a nightmare (if they don’t see the costume from the side).

KISS + Baguettes = ???
We're really celebrating word puns today, aren't we? This group decided to combine the popular glam rock band KISS with French attire and baguettes. Combining one of the most popular rock bands from the eighties with French bread doesn't really make sense when you first look at it. What do these stripe-patterned shirts and baguettes have to do with creepy face paint and protruding tongues?
After a short investigation and using some sense of logical deduction, you might arrive at the fact that this mix makes perfect sense. What is the genius combination behind this costume? Simple, it's a French KISS! Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 6 points of originality and humor out of 10.
Starbucks Employees Fight the Unicorn Frappuccino
Starbucks has become one of the most popular coffeehouse chains in the entire world and currently serves over 30,000 locations all around the world. The company released a new frappuccino in 2017 that was completely different than any of its previous frappuccinos. It was called the unicorn frappuccino and had a weird pink color due to its content of pink powder, mango syrup, sour blue drizzle, vanilla whipped cream, and a bit of sweet pink and sour blue powder topping.
This drink was so popular that at one point, you were bound to see hundreds of people walking down the street with a pink coffee cup in hand and wondering what the heck was going on. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 9 points for originality, acting, and hilariousness out of 10.
