Eighty One - Hilariously Funny Halloween Costumes: Leaving Your Friends In Stitches

By Alexis Nicholas


Some of the most memorable of holiday attire are keyword. These humorous outfits set a jovial mood and keep us laughing long into the evening. The possibilities are endless. Take ideas from popular culture and media and create a satirical garb. Besides, you expect the horrifying on this holiday of death and darkness. Funny Halloween costumes on the other hand are unexpected and therefore more memorable.

You don't want to do the same old thing that's been done year after year. There is humor in most topics and most characters but it can take some thinking to come up with a new concept. Try to look at common daily examples in a new way, add a twist or exaggerate a detail and you have something truly funny.

You might not be awed to see a woman dressed as Sarah Palin or Dolly Parton - but what effect is gained if a man cross dresses using one of those personalities. That would make the character unique, interesting and much funnier. What about a woman as Rod Stewart or Don King? The trick is presenting a well known figure in a slightly warped way. On Halloween, as with Mardi Gras, anything goes.

You don't have to use people as your characters. You can use wildlife, pets, inanimate objects - whatever strikes your fancy. Interplaying characters with your partner or spouse is a great idea. Imagine a husband cross dressed as a maid accompanied by his wife in a cat suit dressed up as a princess or rich woman. Any cat owner knows our cats think we are staff. A costume that looks like a book might have the title as ""The Story of My Life"" and be covered with rejection slips. A cucumber might be campaigning to become a Vlasic dill pickle. There's no limit to what the imagination can find when you let it fly.

You may not be fond of famous sayings you've heard many times but they are useful when creating a costume. Everyone else has heard them and knows what they mean so find a funny, unique way to use a common ad line or phrase.

The costumes in this category can get a little bit carried away size-wise. Keep this in mind when designing or purchasing a costume. If it's too huge to fit through the doorway, it is probably not a good choice to wear to your buddies Halloween party. Many people will arrive at parties and get togethers dressed for the occasion, but that is still no excuse for being intrusive because you had to wear the largest, widest costume you could find.

Remember not all humor may be family friendly. If your costume has a sexual or other off color implication, or includes parts that are questionable for younger eyes, you may have to make some alterations. If you plan to wear your costume in public, keep in mind certain places may not allow you to enter in such attire. Always check ahead with the host or hostess of holiday parties to make sure no children or anyone else who may be offended will be in attendance.

Most funny Halloween costumes can be made using items around your home. With an eye to being creative, come with a few possible concepts and look around to see what you might use for those costumes. Keep it as simple as you can and create a funny costume without expending too many hours or dollars. Keep your mind open to possibilities and remember gender identities don't apply to the fantasy of Halloween. Keep it simple and imaginative and play to the laughter in your funny Halloween costume.
