Worst Halloween Costumes Ever

For most Halloween is a time of make-believe, where people can dress up and become the thing they've wanted to be all year. But sometimes the misguided support of friends, family and the local Kmart causes things to go horribly awry. So, here's a sampling of the good, the ugly and the just plain worst Halloween costumes ever...

Rock Lobsta
There is nothing funny about pretending to cook a baby dressed as a lobster! Okay maybe it is a little funny, but who would do that to their child!?!


Plug me in baby...
As a married woman there is nothing I hate more than those kitschy, tacky couples outfits I see hanging on the rack at my local Party City. The nut and bolt, lock and key, bacon and eggs, salt and pepper, and the list goes on ad infenitum. Not only are these costumes boring and unimaginative, their effectiveness hinges on sexual innuendo that borders on sexism. If I were ever to wear one of the ghastly outfits, I would purposely switch gender roles just to jazz it up.


Toight like a tiger!
Obviously no one informed this man that the Tigger costume wasn't available in big scary man sizes. Or maybe they did and he just didn't care, though I must say his Spiderman undies do have the beginnings of decent Halloween outfit.


Meat and Two Veg
How the girl in the middle (she is the penis, so I am assuming she's the leader) got her girlfriends to agree to this getup I'll never know.


Every Oyster has it's Pearl
Jorge Garcia from Lost made this costume from a new toilet seat, or so he says.


Dr. Kill Joy
It's not a good idea to dress your kid as a blood-spattered doctor complete with a stabbing syringe unless you want him to be on the school's psycho watch list. I just love this kid's look of homicidal rage.


Sit on me!
Any man or woman who dresses up as a rubber bag that imitates fart noises is unworthy of my respect. And just in case you were wondering, yes, there is a child version.

One Thousand Flushes...Away My Dignity
Why is this child smiling!?!?!?!? Has no one told him he's going trick or treating as human toilet? The only upside to this costume would be if the toilet paper roll doubled as a clutch.


Heil myself...
Unless this kid was in a elementary school production of Mel Brook's The Producers I'd say his depiction of the fuhrer needs to be rethought by his parents. The sippy cup is a plus.

I know I complained about the lobster baby costume at the beginning of this post, but the horror fan in me compels me to love this costume. Clearly one parent wanted this kid to be dressed as a chicken while the other wanted the chest burster from Alien. Marriage is all about compromise.

    Monster Scholar, these pictures, each of them, has traumatized me in such horrid ways.

    You'll be getting a bill from my shrink in the morning!

    There's a great lack of taste in all of these, but that Hitler toddler costume is wrong on very many levels. The parents who thought that up seriously need to be bitch slapped.

    MS: Oh my God, where does one start? The penis and hairy testicles? The kid in a bucket? Or the horribly unashamed young man in in the spiderman briefs? This is the funniest post I have ever seen. Thanks for making me laugh out loud. -- Mykal

    Is that Dr Kill Joy DJ Conner from Roseanne?! That is something that I would so want to dress up as when I was a kid. And I like the baby Alien too!

    The Spy Kids poster in the background is the cherry on top of the awesome sundae that is the Tigger costume. Clearly this is a man who has never touched a boob.

    Also, the look on Alien baby's face says it all. A+alenticr

    I heard the hitler kid wanted to be that because he saw Cartman dressed up like that in some episode.
    Thats some terrible parenting right there, but oh god, I love Cartman.

Zombieland Trailer Censors Undead Boobs

I was on MySpace when a Zombieland promo popped up with Woody Harrelson and that kid from Juno giving tips on how to survive a zombie apocalypse. This bit of fun seguewayed into the trailer and I was about to click off when I noticed the zombie stripper that chases the Asian businessman out of the nudie club (an image that has stuck with me since my first viewing of the redband trailer) was now wearing a digital bikini top! Check out the regular and restricted trailers at the Zombieland website to witness the hilarity.

And Now This: Pruitt Taylor Vince Creeps Me Out

Image
“His irises tremble violently as the camera fixes on his glassy gaze, and before you know it, you've once again been entranced by the character with whom you're unsure if you should fear or sympathize.”— Actor Bio on Blockbuster Onlin e I just got finished watching Captivity , one of the After Dark Horrorfest films starring Elisha Cuthbert as a kidnapped supermodel with Daniel Gillies and Pruitt Taylor Vince as her captors. Vince gives an unsettling performance as the psychotic Ben Dexter, who owns his own catering business to finance his and his brother's hobby of capturing young women and keeping them in the basement. Vince’s roles always leave me with a feeling of lingering creepiness, so I thought I’d do a brief review of the weirdos he’s played in the past. Monster (2003) Vince plays Gene the stuttering "John" in Monster, one of the many victims of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute from Daytona Beach who became a serial killer. Identity (2003) Malcolm Rivers is

The Rise and Fall of the SAW Films

Image
With the sixth installment of the Saw franchise set to hit theaters this Halloween and news that Saw VII has already gotten the green light from Lionsgate, it seems only appropriate to take a long look back at the films that started it all. This five part series will look at each of the Saw films in detail and discuss what they’ve contributed to the evolution of the Saw phenomenon and twenty-first century horror. Saw feels very much like a short film, which is what it was originally intended to be. Director, James Wan and writer/actor Leigh Whannell met in film school. Whannell had always wanted to write and act while Wan was an aspiring director. Their combined talents met in the middle and Wan came up with the idea of Saw for a short film that the two would shoot on their own. The original concept was simple. Two guys are chained to opposite ends of a decrepit bathroom, and between them is the body of a dead man with a tape recorder in one hand and a gun in the other. Both captives h
