Halloween can be a time to dress up as someone that you've always aspired to be. Batman, Zoolander, Justin Bieber.... the opportunities to change your identity for the night are endless. But others take a different approach and don't dress up as someone, but rather as something. After searching through pages and pages of halloween costumes, I've compiled a list of ten of the strangest inanimate-object costumes that I could find on the market.
1. A Giant Loofah
This definitely isn't the most flattering option, but it definitely gets some serious points for creativity. Might get a little chilly though.
2. A car freshener
This isn't just a creative costume, but is also one of the cutest pictures I've ever seen. Although I'm slightly confused on where this little guy's feet are supposed to go.
3. A chair
I can't tell if I'm alarmed or impressed at this costume. A lot of questions run through my mind when I see it. Is this comfortable? Where is this person's face? How can he recover if/when he collapses? Luckily we can figure these questions out by buying this costume for the cheap price of $425.00.
4. A USPS Mailbox
I'm a little concerned for this person's visibility in this costume, but overall a solid effort. Also bonus points for color-coordinating the shoes with the metal color of the mailbox.
5. A Pine Tree
Kind of unclear on where the head/body/limbs go in this costume, but just go with it. Also, there's no way this guy doesn't leave a trail of pine needles everywhere he walks.
6. A Disco Ball
You're guaranteed to be the life of the party when you're in this costume. You can literally stand in the center of the room, and people will flock because they want the opportunity to dance around the disco ball. Definitely a solid costume option.
7. Green Grapes
This is a great costume if you ignore the fact that grapes actually don't have hands, and the hands on this costume are quite large. But other than that - A+ for effort.
8. A Cactus
This costume was so dumb that I felt morally obligated to include it in this article. There's not much to say about it because there's not much to the costume.
9. Needle and Thread
Surprisingly, I like this costume a lot. If anyone was ever so inclined to dress as a needle and thread, this does the job perfectly. (Although I'm not sure why anyone would want to.)
10. A Hashtag
This costume screams "I didn't prepare at all for Halloween and threw something together at the last minute". Which is ironic because if you ordered this costume online, you actually did prepare for Halloween. So maybe just refrain from buying this one altogether.
