My Spirit Halloween Costume Hall of Fame (and Shame!) 👻🎃

Every summer, I make my annual pilgrimage to Spirit Halloween like it’s a sacred ritual—because nothing says “responsible adult” like trying on a $25 inflatable T-Rex costume in a store lit entirely by strobe lights. Over the years, I’ve found some a... Grab your cauldron—and maybe a backup wig—because these are equal parts iconic, hilarious, and “I-can’t-believe-this-costs-less-than-my-grocery-bill:

The OG Halloween uniform—flowy, pointy, and perfect for pretending you brewed the pumpkin spice latte yourself. Wore it to a school event and got asked if I was “actually magical”… I said yes and turned someone’s juice box into kombucha.

Halloween Witch Costumes

Big, loud, and impossible to ignore—just like my personality after 2 p.m. Got stuck in a doorway once, but honestly? Worth every second of primal roaring.

T-rex Inflatable Costume

Yes, it’s real. Yes, I bought it “as a joke.” No, I don’t regret serving guac in full costume while my neighbors took 47 photos. “Guac and roll, baby.”

Avocado Costume

Porcelain skin, creepy smile, and eyes that follow you… even when you’re just reaching for the last cookie. Scared my cat so badly he now hisses at mannequins.

Haunted House Dollhouse

Lit up like a rave at midnight—and somehow made my dad do the Macarena. Bonus: still glows faintly in my closet. I call it my nightlight with commitment issues.

alien glow in the dark costume

Tattered veil, blood-dripped bouquet, and the energy of “I said ‘til death do us part’… and meant it.” Wore it to a friend’s wedding after-party—she loved it. Her mom? Less so.

Zombie Bride Costume

Sequins, bell-bottoms, and platform shoes that double as weapons. Got dragged onto the dance floor by a 72-year-old named Gary. We’re pen pals now.

70s Disco Costumes

Looks like a rejected Muppet who only eats compliments and gummy worms. My toddler hugged me for 20 minutes straight—best parenting win of October.

furry monster costume

Terrifying? Yes. Hilarious? Absolutely. Walked into a coffee shop like this and the barista whispered, “Sir…?” I just growled and ordered a caramel macchiato.

Left Shark Costume

Finally, a costume that says, “I’m here to save the day—and look cute doing it.” Used the foam blaster to scare my brother. He still hasn’t forgiven me (or the couch).

Ghostbusters Complete Outfit Costume

Simple, sleek, and covered in enough glitter to haunt a craft store for eternity. Found sparkles in my shoes… in March.

CAT Black Costume Wings, Tails, Ears & Noses

Orange, yellow, and white—like a walking snack that judges your life choices. Got offered actual candy corn by strangers. Said no, but felt seen.

Candy Corn Costume

Lab coat, wild hair, and goggles that fog up when I laugh (which is often). Tried to “invent” a potion with punch and Pop Rocks—science is messy, kids.

mad scientist costume

Rainbow mane, glitter horns, and the confidence of someone who definitely won’t share her fries. My niece declared me “Queen of the Playground.” I accepted my crown.

unicorn princess dress

Not for the faint of heart—or anyone who’s seen It. Made my dog bark for 10 minutes straight. 10/10 would traumatize again.

scary clown costume

Yelled “ARRR!” at the mailbox and my neighbor called the HOA. Worth it for the gold-painted chocolate coins alone.

pirate hat and eye patch

Looks like I lost a fight with a Nickelodeon game show—and won. Left green “slime” handprints on everything. My husband still finds them… in February.

Monster Slime 2COS Green Dress Princess Cosplay Costume Role Play ...

Boxy, metallic, and makes beeping noises when I move (okay, that was me). My smartwatch synced with the costume and now my Fitbit thinks I’m from Mars.

Robot Costume Adult

Glasses, fangs, and a “shhh… or I’ll suck your will to live” vibe. Checked out three books in costume. The librarian whispered, “You’re hired.”

vampire costume

Soft shell, lettuce fringe, and salsa-stained dignity. My dog tried to eat me. Again—worth it.

Taco Costume

Adorable, coordinated, and slightly terrifying when we both hiss at the doorbell. Got more photos than actual candy—but my Instagram followers are happy.
