What You Want To Be For Halloween

So, you're wondering what to be for Halloween, huh? Well, grab a pumpkin spice latte and let's dive into this spooktacular decision-making process. I promise, by the end of this, you'll be ready to trick-or-treat like a pro.

When in Doubt, Go Classic

Let's start with the oldies but goodies. We're talking ghosts, witches, vampires, and zombies. These costumes are like the Beatles of Halloween - timeless classics that never go out of style. But let's face it, you've probably worn a sheet with eye holes more times than you can count. So, how about we give these classics a twist?

Ghost with a twist? How about a glitter ghost? Because who said ghosts can't shine bright like a diamond? And a vampire with a twist? How about a vampire sloth? Because, you know, vampires are lazy too, right?

Pop Culture: The New Black

If you're more into the here and now, pop culture costumes are where it's at. We're talking movie characters, TV show faves, and even memes. But remember, the key to a great pop culture costume is originality. You want to be the one everyone's talking about, not just another Harley Quinn.

How about this year, you be the mandala from that one episode of Rick and Morty? Or maybe the WandaVision logo come to life? And if you're feeling really adventurous, why not dress up as the Bernie Sanders mittens meme? I mean, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?

Surprise! You're a Historical Figure

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Historical figures for Halloween? That's boring!" But hear me out. Historical figures can be just as fun, and they're a great way to educate your fellow trick-or-treaters. Plus, you'll be the only Cleopatra at the party.

How about this year, you be Queen Elizabeth I? You can even practice your royal wave. Or maybe Blackbeard the Pirate? Eye patch and all. And if you're feeling really ambitious, you could be Socrates. Just be prepared to engage in some deep philosophical discussions with the neighborhood kids.

When in Doubt, Blame the Pandemic

Alright, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or rather, the virus in the room. COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into our Halloween plans, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun. In fact, this year, you can use the pandemic as an excuse for any costume you want.

How about a COVID-19 vaccine? You can even carry around a little plush needle to administer to your fellow trick-or-treaters. Or maybe a Zoom meeting gone wrong? Just make sure to wear a mask - both literally and figuratively.

So, there you have it. Whether you're a classic costume kind of person, a pop culture fanatic, a history buff, or just looking to make a statement about our current times, there's a costume out there for you. And remember, the best costume is the one that makes you feel confident and comfortable. After all, Halloween is about having fun, not about winning some arbitrary costume contest.

But if you really want to win something, how about this challenge? The first person to dress up as a vaccinated COVID-19 virus gets a lifetime supply of candy. I mean, think about it. You'd be the talk of the town, and you'd have a great story to tell for years to come. Just don't forget to get your booster shot first.
