20 Hilarious Halloween Costume Fails That Should Stay Buried in the Graveyard

Every Halloween, there are costumes you can tell the person put a lot of effort into. From the design, quality, and makeup, the costume speaks volumes. Then there are some that are cute and simple, like cat ears and all black. Nothing fancy, but definitely gets the job done. And then there are the other ones…also known as "costume fails," There's nothing worse than arriving at a party and asking someone what they're dressed as, only for their countenance to fall into disbelief that someone didn't recognize the niche and nuanced thing they're supposed to be dressed as. And we're all familiar, we've all seen the unraveling outfits that some people call their Halloween costume. 

The best part about a Halloween fail is that it's often unintentional. Someone sets out to become a fierce vampire, but ends up resembling a tired raccoon. Another tries to craft a DIY ghost, but the sheet slips, and suddenly they're just "someone who overslept." These little disasters become the true highlights of the night—not because they're scary, but because they're hilariously bad.
