You’ve heard me speak about my love for Halloween before (I hope it never gets old). In fact, I hope you all feel the same. But really, is it Halloween yet!? Come on, October, I’m freaking dying over here and it’s not just the hot weather! I require haunts, I long for scares, and I HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS TO THINK OF WHAT TO WEAR! Sounds like a good problem to have, right? WRONG! If your brain works like mine, you have probably come up with hundreds of different costumes, and settled on none.

Well, that changes now! Through the help of our friendly neighborhood social media, we are going to narrow down some ideas with your own killer costumes! Yes, yours. Feed us inspiration, oh, mighty Instagram. Fill our heads with killer costume ideas until our eyes burst from our sockets, leaving only the best costume ideas floating in what’s left of our collective gray matter.

 

“You ain’t gotta lie, Craig. You ain’t gotta lie.” Friday never goes out of style.

If you can’t find it, knit it! Do they make a Donald Trump model?!

“I’m strong to the finish, because I eat my spinach!” If you’re a couple, this is definitely a classy way to do Halloween together.

“Moon of my life” Just a tip: if she’s taller, make her sit down for photos.

“This is what it sounds like, when the doves cry” Recently lost icons are always a great way to pay homage.

If you’re going to party, be a party animal! This way, no one can get mad if you pop a squat in their yard.

As you can see, readers. Some are elaborate, and some are simple. Some are handmade, and some are pieced together from random purchases, but the fact remains… These are all killer costume ideas for you, or your loved ones, little ones, and even the squad! I am definitely inspired. Halloween is only 5 short months away, people. It’s time to start stoking your mental fires, and collecting what you need to make this year’s Halloween costume unforgettable. Don’t wait until the last minute like some of us chronic procrastinators, or you could get left picking at the dregs of costume bags at your local store. No one wants the hashtag costume. No body! If you have some killer costumes from previous years, or just some killer costume ideas to share, tag them using #HorrorBuzzKillerCostume. You never know who could need your help this year!

Scream ya, next week!
