Halloween Ideas and Costumes – That Really Popped

I have my personal reservations about Halloween – it is a strange ‘festival’ that celebrates the dead, undead and assorted other macabre phenomena. I especially think that this is the one ‘western’ observance that there is no need to import into India. However, I do grant that people can be very inventive and original on Halloween. Some of these Halloween costumes and ideas shared on social media are very interesting:

Trick or treat

That is such a cool kid – rolling up in his own car and all! And that is also a non-greedy kid who took just a handful out of the big basket of sweets.

Good idea

These parents used a remote-controlled truck to ‘drive’ their kid around the neighbourhood.

Great idea

Someone thought the idea was good enough to copy.

And more!

The little kid was an inspiration to many.

What is that!

I'm not sure what that is supposed to be – that is not something I would want to encounter on a cold dark night.

Being yourself

Or as in the case of Tom Felton (of Harry Potter fame) one’s character in a famous film franchise

This is apposite

This was like a celebrity tribute, given that vaccines and medical personnel have saved countless people all over the world

Also apposite

It’s kind of brilliant. And freaky as f**k!

A snail!

With a slimy trail!

Doggies dress up too

Because why not!

A bit too much?

A little bit, yes.

This little cutie

That is adorable! Even more adorable is the fact that the kid seems to be loving it all!

Life imitating art?

Some decided to imitate art an internet meme frequently used on Twitter.

The Ever Given

Remember the ship that blocked the Suez Canal? Well someone decided to be that ship, but with a twist: the name of this one is Ever Stuck.

This munchkin

That isn't really a Halloween costume, but it’s really funny! And cute!
