Tis the season to get freaky

Boo! It's finally here again: the time when the clock strikes 13 and your best friend is a zombie. You find yourself in the sea of 1980s "Lets Get Physical" girls, prom queens and breakfast club misfits. On every corner you run into a serial killer that offers you candy, and bars are filled with lingerie and animal ears. Yes, it's Halloween; and this year, it is more crude, more original, and more terrifying then ever.

Group Costumes for Men

No one wants to go alone into the unknown. Group costumes serve as a guarantee insurance against any public embarrassment or ridicule. If you must be the laughing stock of the party or a bar, you might as well go on the scaffold together.

A-TEAM: for the manly and confident.

THE AVENGERS: making dorky sexy.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: If your humor is better than your looks.

T-BIRDS: revamping a classic.

BLUE MAN GROUP: WARNING! Might be mistaken for a group of Smurfs. Please avoid all light colored fabrics, walls, doors, and cars.

JERSEY SHORE: You will need to find some females to fully execute the debauchery that this ensemble will bring (bar fights are encouraged).

TWILIGHT: If you're pale and in desperate need of female attention.

Group Costumes for Women

SPICE GIRLS: if you still find yourself singing "Wannabe" in the shower, and refuse to let go of your Spice World pencil case.

TEEN MOMS: for the morally corrupt.

BRAVO! HOUSEWIVES: any city will work, just make sure to wear lots of jewelry, and constantly have a full glass of wine.

KARDASHIAN SISTERS: if you want attention for doing nothing.

MEAN GIRLS: for those who love pink, gossip, and think rules are meant to be broken.

JERSEY SHORE: requires males, clip-in extensions, bump-its, clean laundry, a tanning package (start early), appreciation for house music, and constant fist-pumping.

PINK LADIES: if you think that "We Go Together" is the best last scene in a movie and you love tight black spandex.

TWILIGHT: if you think Kristen Stewart is Grace Kelly and Robert Pattinson is as popular as The Beatles.

Cheap Costumes for Men

Halloween has become a phenomenon that drains our wallets, gives us stress and lasts all weekend. In case you don't have a bottomless bank account, there are some easy and cheap ways to opt out with only one costume. Who says "cheap" tricks are for kids?

MASKS: Whether you want to haunt someone as Phantom of the Opera, or scare girls in your dorm with the Jason mask - masks are easy, cheap and don't require much effort or imagination. There are a lot to choose from.

CELEBRITIES: Just go through your closet and save some cash! It is pretty easy to fake Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson and countless other celebrities. Don't shower, don't wash your hair, wear a hat, have a pack of cigarettes in your shirt pocket that is plaid and polish your look with a beat-up leather jacket that says "Screw the Establishment."

If you like the looks of Justin Timberlake and George Clooney, wear a suit with no tie, gel your hair, smile a lot and invite about ten of your closest girlfriends to be your entourage (bilingual females preferred).

Cheap Costumes for Women

EARS & WINGS: Mean Girls did coin the phrase, "I'm a mouse, duh!" when Karen Smith wore a lingerie ensemble with mouse ears to the Halloween party. But not all of us have to strip down to our knickers. Wear a red dress and pair it with devil ears, viola you're a "She-Devil." Or those obnoxiously wild leopard leggings that you never had the nerve to wear outside, well now is your chance to embrace your cat-like instincts.

MASKS: Though we doubt girls would wear a Mike Meyers mask to the bar, a popular way to opt out of "going all out" while still looking glamorous and mysterious is a masquerade mask. It takes you back to the lavish days of Marie Antoinette and the Renaissance. Any fun dress or romper is acceptable. And the best part, the selection is so wide that you can be a different person from Thursday to Sunday!
