Halloween is the time to let our creativity and inner child shine, going out to parties as adults, trick or treating as children, and do it all dressed in the strangest outfits. Said outfits are often references to some show or popular character from pop culture media, so the reference can be enjoyed by all.Just as you might expect, not all outfits are created equally. Not all of us have the gift of creativity after all, and yet, how bad some creations turn out is surprising. Due to this, we’ve gathered some of the worst offenders we’ve found online.cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});Pinterest/WikipediaMike Who?As popular as Monsters Inc. may be, this Mike does not belong on the front cover of any magazine. At least the character is recognizable.Pinterest/WikipediaPatrick StrutAs fashionable as you may try to look, runway Patrick is never going to be a thing. The pink tone is spot on, though.Pinterest/WikipediaMonkey BusinessWe can be thankful this person chose the most humanoid character from the Lion King’s ensemble. The pumpkins as part of the staff elevates the look.Pinterest/WikipediaFreedom For DobbyFew things are as nightmare inducing as a house elf, and one of them is someone dressed as one of them for Halloween.Pinterest/WikipediaUnblinking MargeThis has to be one of the most cursed attempts at a Simpsons costume, which at the same time succeeds in what it’s trying to do.Pinterest/WikipediaFive Nights NowhereChica isn’t exactly the most known character from Five Nights At Freddy’s, but it might be a close second. That is the only saving grace of this fit.Pinterest/WikipediaSmurfThis may need a few more coats of paint before the look is actually completed. In all honesty, going for a non-blue Smurf would’ve been a better call.Pinterest/WikipediaWe Have R2D2 At HomeJust like adding arms to birds is quite funny, adding limbs to R2D2 can be so too. Somehow, the result here is just sad.Pinterest/WikipediaPika BreakThis gets to the realm of so bad it’s good, particularly the deadpan look and the cig in hand. Pikachu never needed a break more than he does now.Pinterest/WikipediaStraight Out Of The SewerThis is as bad as an outfit can look while still giving away the character it’s meant to be. And it will haunt out nightmares forever more.Pinterest/WikipediaFlared OnAs Pokemon fans, we can certainly say that this was an attempt at being a Pokemon. A failed attempt at that.Pinterest/WikipediaSailor ManDressing up as Sailor Moon while being a grown man has become a bit of a fashion statement as of late. To each their own.Pinterest/WikipediaStranger FitsIf you’re already sporting the shaved head style, then you might as well represent a character that shares that characteristic. Eleven from Stranger Things clearly needed some more work so people could tell this guy was her, hence the Eggo box.Pinterest/WikipediaA Real MonsterWe can’t say that there’s anything wrong with the outfit in particular, beyond it leaving the character somewhat slim. The issue is that it only works on this specific position.Pinterest/WikipediaJust A ShirtYou can use your wide frame to aid you in your costume all you like, but the effort of just wearing a shirt isn’t enough. We get the idea, it’s missing a broken down wall or something.The post 15 Poor Halloween Costumes That Deserve an Instant Return to Spirit appeared first on Den of Geek.
