Halloween is more than just a spooky celebration with ghouls, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures. As a result, it’s a huge moneymaker for everyone involved. According to CNBC’s estimates from September of last year, Halloween would generate $9.1 billion in sales. Costumes would cost $3.4 billion of that total. It’s estimated that the average person will spend $86.13 on a costume, and most of their friends will wear the same one. Instead of being the 20th ghost outfit on the block, check out some of the most creative and homemade options for this Halloween. These people obviously enjoy Halloween, because they’ve put together a costume that’s sure to garner attention.
Chefs Should Wear This As Their Official Halloween Costume
This guy came up with an ingenious way to combine his passion for anime cartoons as well as Halloween creativity. As far as we can tell, there is no plastic mouse in this design. Instead, it appears to be an abstract cutout that is cast in shadow by the installed lighting. The thing we’ve learned about creative Halloween costumes is that when we can’t figure out how they were put together, they tend to be more celebrated. This is the chef’s uniform of choice…at the very least in Paris.
A Terrifying Fish from the Ocean’s Depths
To see an anglerfish in action is truly a sight to behold. This fish hunts for prey in the ocean’s deepest, darkest recesses. The fish’s dangling light attracts its prey, who come in to take a closer look. Anglerfish will eat anyone who gets too close and doesn’t realize there’s a threat. These women did an excellent job of capturing the fish’s grotesque appearance while also incorporating some nerdy electronics. It’s a great start, but stay tuned for even more impressive examples of do-it-yourself and wildly imaginative Halloween costumes.
