WTF Costumes

Do not visit this site. I'm warning you. It seems harmless at first and sucks you in with a few funny costumes, but as soon as you start clicking around you're likely to find things that will either offend you or turn your stomach. If you need a frame of reference, the "beer-tap babe" shown here is probably one of their classier costumes. (I see what you're doing. You're about to click on that link. You're so weak. Someone tells you not to do something and you immediately have to do it. Fine. See if I care. Just don't say I didn't warn you.)

Wheelchair Halloween costumes

Just because a kid's in a wheelchair doesn't mean that he can't have an awesome Halloween costume. The motorcycle and canoe are great, but the drum kit is my absolute favorite! Plus it was made almost entirely from things you can find around the house. Click here for full instructions on how to build this terrific costume.

Cool Retro Costumes

Here is a great gallery of vintage Halloween costumes. The collection is guaranteed to include characters from shows that haven't crossed you mind in 20 years.

Lancelot Link, Circus Boy, Bigfoot (from "Bigfoot & Wildboy"), Easy Reader (from "The Electric Company"), Nitro (from "American Gladiators").When's the last time you thought about them?

My favorite thing about many of these vintage costumes is this...
For every "Indiana Jones" costume where the shirt is designed to look like Indy's clothing, there are half a dozen "Joanie Loves Chachi" types, where the costume consists of a graphic identifying the program or person. (Like anyone could look at that mask and not think of Scott Baio.)

UPDATE:
Here is a link to some of the worst retro Halloween costumes the aforementioned gallery has to offer.
