25 Epic Halloween Costume Fails You Must See To Believe

A for effort, though.

As we all know, sometimes things don't turn out exactly how we pictured them. And for these festive folks, it's pretty safe to say that their grand Halloween costume ideas didn't quite live up to their expectations. Keep scrolling and you'll see what we mean. Oh, and get ready to roar:

1. Spongebob SquarePants: Dude, Spongebob SquarePANTS. Hence, wear pants!!!

2. Ghosts In Bikinis: I mean, we're all for making the typical white-sheet ghost costume more interesting, but this is just weird.

3. Kool-Aid Man: You see, some things just don't look as good when they come to life. This is one of those things.

4. Bloody Pad: No. Just, no.

5. Bert and Ernie: If they were horror movie, not children's television, stars, then we'd say this pair is spot on.

6. Babies in pumpkins: Expectation: Babies adorably laugh and giggle in pumpkins while you snap commercial-worthy photos. Reality: Babies scream and cry for hours and the neighbors get extremely annoyed with you.

7. Iron Man: Close, but no cigar.


9. "Sexy" flannel: The knot is on point, but the costume? Not our first choice.

10. Black Widow from The Avengers: Hey, anyone who attempts to take on Scarlett Johansson for Halloween is a superhero(ine) in our book.

11. Snail: We can't exactly explain why this doesn't work...it just doesn't.

12. Scary clown: There are so many things wrong here that we hardly know where to begin.

13. Baby covered in kisses: This poor thing just got attacked with the contents of several tubes of lipstick—probably not the best time for a photo-op.

14. Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones: The face? Nailed it. The scary dragon? Not so much.

15. Wolverine from X-Men: There's a good chance this guy was a safety hazard on Halloween. There's an even greater chance that no one guessed he was Wolverine.

16. Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings: We thought this was an evil queen and scarecrow hybrid, but Sauron works, too...

17. Pumpkin head: Does this remind anyone else of the time Joey put a turkey on his head?

18. Unicorn: Let's just hope no one hopped on for a ride.

19. Another pumpkin baby: These parents learned the hard way that pumpkins don't make the most comfortable costumes.

20. Silver Surfer: ...Or extreme tin-foil enthusiast?

21. Superheroes: Based on these ensembles, we'd prefer not to put our lives in their hands.

22. Queen Padmé Amidala from Star Wars: If she told everyone that she was an 18th-century milkmaid, she actually would have nailed it.

23. Batman: This kid's face says it all.

24. Jack Skellington?: We're not sure if he's going for the classic Nightmare Before Christmas character or a meerkat costume. Either way, it's not quite right.

25. Star Wars characters: Maybe in a galaxy "far, far away" this would work, but...
