Hilarious Halloween Costume Fails That Are The Wrong Kind Of Scary
Most of us want our Halloween costumes to be frightening enough to make sure our neighbors opt for a treat rather than a trick. But if your costume-making skills aren’t up to scratch, you can end up looking an altogether different kind of scary. From a misshapen Pennywise to mean Rugrats, here’s a look at 40 fancy dress outfits that really do appear to be cursed!
1. Sesame Street gone wrong
Let’s hope there were no little ones at the party this motley crew attended while dressed up as Sesame Street’s finest. You could say that Count Von Count and Grover are at least passable. But Bert and Ernie look possessed. And the guy cosplaying as Big Bird could scar kids for life!
2. The historical miscommunication
We will let the disgruntled woman on the left, who’s clearly made a little bit more effort for Halloween, explain what exactly is going on in this mismatched couples’ outfit. Alongside the offending Twitter snap, she wrote the caption, “Well, we were supposed to be Cleopatra and Caesar. Classic case of miscommunication.”
3. Misshapen Buzz Lightyear
Okay, so the three kids in this picture taken at a French vacation resort look delighted to be in the company of Toy Story’s number one spaceman. But you can’t ignore the fact that Buzz Lightyear looks a little worse for wear. For one thing he appears to be cross-eyed and who knows what’s happened to his helmet?
4. The trash bag ghost
Moby’s Coffee and Tea Company obviously wanted a piece of the Halloween action back in 2019. The business introduced a Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream into their menu, after all. But their promotional approach — essentially an employee wearing a trash bag with hastily scribbled eyes — leaves a lot to be desired.
