The Velvet Rocket

It is that time of year again and after seeing a few pictures of some great Halloween costumes, I decided a post on this subject was in order. So, it was off to the races with Google Images… I had to utilize as many search variations involving “Halloween” and “costumes” as possible such as: “stupid Halloween costumes” or “sexy Halloween costumes” or “worst Halloween costumes”… You get the idea. I have to confess to being a little disappointed with the quality of content available though and hopefully this post will go a small way in correcting this problem.

Some people have a few great Halloween costume pictures on Flickr, but aren’t kind enough to share them with the world. So, I’ve amassed the best collection I could here after wasting a couple of hours on the internet (I redeem myself in an hour by going out tonight with a whole flock of girls and being the only guy present).

So, anyway, here you are:

***************

Tim Burton fans?

The Catholic priest. Classic, but still appreciated.

I wonder if this guy ever gets any girls?

Green plastic army man.  The guy said this took him hours to construct.

It may not be entirely historically accurate, but it looks cool.

Pretty funny.  My roommates told me some guy flashed them the other day (which I found amusing).

They made these themselves.

And this.

Everyone likes Legos, right?

I think I would enjoy going around in this one.

Really disturbing, but it made me laugh.

All of these were taken in New York.

The caption said this was not photoshopped, so I don’t know how the hell this guy did that.

Pretty GAy, pretty funny…

A little wordplay thrown in as well… Good in the sack.

I’m impressed.

I don’t even know what this is, but I guess it looks cool?

I wonder how this costume would play in Israel, Iraq or Sri Lanka?

I thought this one was great.  My knees and elbows have looked like that far too many times after doing something stupid on my bicycle as a kid.

I hope she wore this one to work.

Is the expression on this guy’s face the creepiest part?

H.A.L.O. is human after all…

Fun with electricity.

I don’t even know what to say about this one.

Snake charmer.  Nice.

Oh the indignities animals suffer through on Halloween…
