The easiest way to figure out a unique costume for Halloween is to take notes from the best of the best, so we’ve rounded up some of the most innovative celebrity costumes, funny DIY ideas, couples and best friend getups and more to get your creative juices flowing. And though the largest dress up contest of the year is still more than a few months away, it’s never too early for some spooky inspo. While it can be easy to fall into the rut of safe costumes year after year, (yep, we're talking about your DIY cat costume), taking a risk and going as something new is part of the fun and magic of the holiday. The grainy footage and all-around foreboding vibe gives me the heebie-jeebies.Halloween is the perfect time to step out of your comfort zone. Let’s end this one with this film from 1977… and, holy crap, is it creepy. Halloween Safety was a big thing in the 1970s. This one has big eye holes for safety – and even has a freaking safety sign on the back! I guess the vaguely pornographic mouth hole is so big because he’s supposed to be doing that famous Tarzan yodel.Īnd speaking of poor 70s kids getting shafted on Halloween by parents making poor choices, how about this objectively terrible Star Wars rip-off? I’m sure pops saved a few bucks by going with the “Space Wars” brand, but was it worth it?Ī Father Murphy costume? Really? How did this even happen? Of course, the same could be said about the next one… Considering she looks more like Loretta Switt, a girl would’ve been better off just using her own face. One wonders why they even bothered with a mask. It’s Laura from Little House on the Prairie. Here’s another winner from that same Ben Cooper TV-Comic line… can you guess who it is? My heart goes out to those poor children whose parents came home with this costume for them to wear.

This costume is supposed to be from the TV show “Hee Haw”. Enough said.įargo North Decoder was fine but if you’re going to dress as someone from The Electric Company, you need to be Easy Reader (back when Morgan Freeman was funky). They are sinister creations from the bloody bowels of hell. I think I’ve made my position on clowns perfectly clear. Suffice it to say, they weren’t as racially sensitive back then. Were I to go looking for the all-time worst Halloween costume, the all-time worst superhero, Captain Planet, wouldn’t be a bad place to start. You’ll notice the interchangeable use of “flame retardant” and “flame retarded” on these boxes. What follows is actually kind of disturbing – see for yourself… In this skit, Marie and Jeff Conaway (Taxi, Grease) are werewolves having dinner at the home of Gavin MacLeod (The Love Boat). Believe it or not, Marie Osmond actually had her own show after the Donny & Marie Show ended. Be prepared for cringeworthy jokes and all-around awkwardness via Donny’s apparent social impairment disorder.Īnd if that didn’t satisfy your fix for Osmond Halloween insanity, check out this skit from The Marie Show in 1980. Kristy McNichol and Donny go trick or treating and knock on the doors of Billy Crystal and Shirley Hemphill (What’s Happening?). For more proof, check out their Trick Or Treat skit from 1977. Indeed nothing says Halloween like Donny & Marie. This Osmond costume is truly the stuff of horror. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but this costume disturbs the hell out of me.
“I want to wear an inflatable owl on top of my head for Halloween,” said no kid ever. These Kooky Spooks blow up costumes from the 1980s are alarmingly godawful.
