Every year, some wiseass thinks he’s got the inside line on most innovative costume at the party. And every year, that wiseass is surprised to find out that some other jerk had the same idea and they both end up looking stupid. This year, there should be roughly 40,000,000 PSY’s running around, each fighting to be the “head PSY” when “Gangnam Style” is inevitably played. But sometimes, just sometimes, somebody comes up with something so completely wrong that no one else would dare copy it (at least, not regionally). That person is frequently dropped from all future guest lists and becomes a listless pariah, explaining to his fellow transients how he can’t get a respectable job now because a picture of him in his “epic” Halloween costume ended up on the Internet. This year, be on the lookout for James Holmes, dead Whitney Houston and the four-leaf-clover-of-Halloween-costumes: a black guy in Mitt Romney whiteface.

[…] Halloween, for me, has always been more about the scary than the sexy. Don’t get me wrong, I think the sexy is the caremel on the apple or the candle in the pumpkin, but caramel and candles, a fun Halloween do not make… unless you’re into the kinky stuff. The real meat and potatoes of All-Hallows-Eve is the spooky, the strange and the gruesome. And short of skinning some unwitting teenager to wear their face like a mask (I thought of it first, damnit!), the best way to achieve the spooky, strange and gruesome, is to create the look with makeup.
