These Knockoff Halloween Costumes Really Miss the Mark

I’ve been there: you’re in a rush, you forgot it was nearly October 31, and now you’re scrambling to put a costume together for the big party tonight.

You go to the Halloween superstore down the street and what do you find? A bunch of ripoff costumes that are also very overpriced. It’s enough to drive someone crazy!

Here are 15 knockoff Halloween costumes that you should definitely avoid this year. You don’t want to get laughed out of that party, do you?

I swear, sometimes you’re just better off making your own costume…

1. Potter Teacher Wizard Boy.

Thinking of going as this for Halloween from crappyoffbrands

2. Remember that ’90s movie Notionless?

3. The Beast Boy.

4. Going for a Hunger Games vibe.

Found this at the seasonal Halloween store. from crappyoffbrands

5. Cyber Man or Padre.

6. Big fan of that Stripey Dude.

7. Most women already have one of these.

8. Night Time Romeo.

9. Good ol’ Juice Demon and a Harley Quinn knockoff.

10. “Purple Musician.”

80’s Purple Musician Costume from crappyoffbrands

11. Heroic Maria looks familiar…

Man, I love playing some Super Maria on my Shmintedno Enjoyment system! I hope they make her a Haloween Costume this year! from crappyoffbrands

12. Such a superhero.

13. Dorothy? Maybe?

14. That mischevious worker, I’ll tell ya…

15. And finally, the hit Netflix show, “Unusual Events.”

Hmmmmm…somehow, these missed the mark, right?

Share a photo of your Halloween costume with us in the comments, rip-off or not!

Here Are Some Spooky Movies Kid-Friendly Enough to Watch with Your Little Ones This Halloween

Listen up, parents!

Halloween and scary movies don’t have to be all about blood, guts, and gore, right?

RIGHT!

We need to leave some room for the kids to have a good time and get all creeped out this Halloween season, too. Well, we’re all in luck!

Here are 12 movies that are spooky, but not too spooky. They’re creepy, but not too creepy. You get my drift: they’re Halloween movies that are kid-friendly.

So before you send your kids out the door to trick or treat, they can enjoy these movies to get in the Halloween spirit.

Bonus: some of these are on Netflix so you don’t have to go very far!

1. A Witch’s Ball

It’s tough out there for a young witch, isn’t it? Beatrix’s chances of being inducted into the ranks of witches becomes jeopardized and she relies on her best friend, a rat, to help her out.

2. R.L. Stine’s Mostly Ghostly

Is R.L. Stine the best, or what? If you’re familiar with his Goosebumps series, then you’ll love this movie.

3. All Hallows Eve

Eve is a teenage witch who just turned Sweet 16, and she accidentally summons an ancestor who might be up to no good. Uh oh!

4. Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween

Goosebumps + Halloween + kids who need to save the day = a great recipe.

5. Mickey’s House of Villains

Our beloved Mickey faces off against a whole lot of Disney villains. Don’t mess with Mickey!

6. DreamWorks Spooky Stories

Four short stories that will definitely send chills up your spine (and definitely the kids’!).

7. DreamWorks Spooky Stories 2

Another set of stories that features characters from some of DreamWorks’ most iconic films, including Shrek and Megamind. Spooky and fun!

8. Little Monsters

We’re going all the way back to the 1980s with this one! A very young Fred Savage befriends the monster who lives under his bed. What an adventure!

9. Monster Family

Enjoy the family dynamic of a group of classic movie monsters, including characters similar to Frankenstein, a mummy, a werewolf, and a witch.

10. My Babysitter’s A Vampire

A kid who is a little too old to have a babysitter discovers that the one his parents hired to watch him might not exactly be human.

11. Spookley The Square Pumpkin

Spookley is a different kind of pumpkin…he’s square. But he doesn’t let that get him down and he shows all the other pumpkins that it’s okay to be different.

12. Coraline

I’ve heard some parents say that Coraline is a little too creepy for the young ones, but give it a shot and see how the kiddos react. At least they’ll be interested because visually the film is so fascinating.

What are some of your top Halloween movies that you like to watch with your kids during October?

Ahhh, the good old days.

If you’ve ever wondered what the most popular Halloween candy is in every state in the U.S., you’re in luck.

Who knew Skittles are that popular? I’m not feeling it…but Mississippi, you’re speaking my language!

New @Reeses Cups are arriving in stores in mid-April, but NYC was given a chance to get their hands on the Peanut Butter Lover and Chocolate Lover Cups early! Visit the Reese’s Swap Shop on 321 Canal Street to swap something in exchange for a new Reese’s Cup of your choosing. ? • ? (March 25th – 26th from 12pm – 6pm only). If y?u’re reading this, it’s too late…for today. But definitely go tomorrow while you still can! • ?? Chocolate Lovers – Although it doesn’t look tremendously different in the picture, the Chocolate Lovers Cup definitely does contain discernibly less peanut butter than the original Reese’s Cups. In fact, it was refreshing to eat a Reese’s Cup with a bit less peanut butter. Although this isn’t our preference, this may certainly sit well with those that don’t enjoy Reese’s Cups because there’s “too much” peanut butter for their liking. • ?? Peanut Butter Lovers – This cup is a game changer and it went away too fast. It doesn’t help that Matthew and I had to share it. ? There’s a hint of chocolate surrounding the cup, but the creamy peanut butter is the star of the show. The peanut butter in the center of the cup is the Reese’s peanut butter we are used to, but the peanut butter at the top of the cup has got a Hershey’s Gold vibe to it; but made of peanut butter. We absolutely can’t wait for these to release!
