It’s always heartwarming when a couple decides to dedicate their Halloween costume to a retro video game character that we all love and admire. Mr. and Ms. Pacman were some of the first video games of all time and dominated the arcade games arena for many, many years.
These are clearly homemade costumes, likely done using cardboard and really funny tights. We’d like to congratulate this beautiful couple for dressing as our favorite retro characters. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7.5 ghosts and Pacman out of 10.
The Youngest Cat Lady in the World
Everyone can instantly recognize an old cat lady when they see one. From talking incessantly to their cats to lifting them up, like in the scene in The Lion King. This trope has been used quite often in films and books, which is why everyone knows exactly what you’re talking about when you say “an old cat lady”.
This kid’s Mom helped her create the iconic cat lady look, from the pink robe, the ‘70s grandma glasses, and, of course, the many cats hanging on her as she opens her arms in awe of the world. Congrats, Mommy, you’ve just made your kid into one of the world’s most recognizable and funniest tropes of all time. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7 cute cats hanging on this girl out of 10.
A Formal Apology
We have in our hearts enough room for about one play-on-words joke per day, and this guy is the first one we’ve seen so far, so things are OK for now. Apparently, he took the phrase “formal apology” to its logical conclusion by wearing formal attire, including a suit and tie.
He has a sign around his neck that says “SORRY,” making the joke quite obvious after about 5 seconds of attempting to figure out the meaning behind the outfit. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 1 play on word jokes out of 10.
The Headless Horseman Strikes Back
Finally, we’re back to some good old creepy Halloween costumes. This one is based on a mythical folklore figure that appeared in the Middle Ages called The Headless Horseman.
This costume wasn't too hard to make but definitely looks very cool — just take a kid and put him on a horse in a 19th-century costume with a headless stump at the end. (ok, we forgot to mention that, first and foremost, you must find a dog to take the horse's role). This one definitely deserves a high ranking as a creepy Halloween costume. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7 weeks without a head out of 10.
Walter White’s Evolution - an Amazing Montage
One of the most creative costumes on our list, which undoubtedly took a long time to think of and even a longer time to execute, is this brilliant portrayal of Walter White’s evolution through the iconic Breaking Bad series, often cited as one of the best shows of all time.
Fans of the show will undoubtedly appreciate this costume more than any other during Halloween. Whoever made this should be proud of himself. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 10 points out of 10 if you're a Breaking Bad fan.
