This Halloween, Psy's Gangnam Style is sure to be everywhere.

This Halloween, Psy's Gangnam Style is sure to be everywhere.

A few of the dress-up ideas we’re not looking forward to this Halloween:
Clint Eastwood & Chair: Upside: you’ll always have a place to sit when the trick-or-treating gets a little too exhausting. Downside: the high-waisted pants.
Binders Full of Women: Finally, a way for the ladies to be scantily clad and alarmingly politically conscious at the exact same time!
San Francisco Giant: Bay Area, it’s not a costume when no one can distinguish it from what you’ve been wearing every day for the last month.
Honey Boo Boo: A sip of “Go Go Juice”—that’s a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew—should keep you vibrating at a dangerously glitzy frequency all night.  Pageant girl or down-South redneck, HBB is gonna be a big deal. And thank god TLC will be airing a holiday special so we can all satisfy our burning curiosity to find out how the real Alana Thompson celebrates Halloween.
Psy: A good excuse to learn some new dance moves, sure. But roughly three of the words in “Gangnam Style” are in English, so it would behoove you to either learn Korean or make up some words, instead of repeating a loud and drawn-out “HEY SEXY LADY” to anyone who will listen.
50 Shades of Grey: No man is going to voluntarily be Christian Grey unless his girlfriend has him completely whipped, in more ways than one. Which means Christian & Anastasia will most likely be an uncomfortable couples’ costume. But if we’ve got to see it, I’ve got my fingers crossed for a more literal interpretation: grey shirt, grey pants, gold cross necklace.
Olympians: Except for memesation McKayla Maroney, if you can manage to look like you’re not impressed all night.
The Avengers: This group costume has the potential to satisfy a lot of middle-school fantasies. But way too many opportunities for your friends to make inappropriate puns about the hammer of Thor.
A Cat: An excuse to wear a jumpsuit and meow, but a little outdated. What is this, 1957? Let’s get creative, people.
