Inspired by seeing the Roman Boy costume on sale at the Halloween Adventure store this afternoon.
Who says it's not safe to let your kids go out on halloween alone anymore? posted by hermitosis at 7:59 PM on September 10, 2006

Are those baby costume pictures photoshoped? this one in particular looks bizarre, and there is no shadow from the chefs hat. posted by delmoi at 8:03 PM on September 10, 2006
BUY a costume? What, are you, nuts? We make our costumes around here! posted by Biblio at 8:08 PM on September 10, 2006
This year I'm borrowing a cane and some white Tic-Tacs and going as House. But I think this page has the best costumes ever. posted by infinitewindow at 8:15 PM on September 10, 2006
Last Halloween I was in Lake Arrowhead, CA with my brother's family, and my darling threee-year-old neice was dressed in a fairy costume, but had insisted in wearing her bunny slippers, so my brother explained at every door that she was a wood nymph who had naturally slaughtered the creatures of her environment for her footwear. None of the candy-givers laughed, but I'm sure he'd appreciate some of these for their sheer ballsiness. posted by Navelgazer at 8:16 PM on September 10, 2006
What's edgy about the "colonial boy" costume? Other than that it comes with a jabot, which I didn't know what it was until I looked it up (it's the cravat-y/ascot-esque thingy.) posted by jessenoonan at 8:22 PM on September 10, 2006
Something about the gleam in his eye makes me think that he knows a little too much about his second amendment rights. posted by hermitosis at 8:26 PM on September 10, 2006

I giggled over the pizza slice for about five minutes. posted by anjamu at 8:49 PM on September 10, 2006
Am I imagining it, or are the biker kid and the Roman kid the same model? posted by maryh at 8:50 PM on September 10, 2006
The pizza baby confuses me. A chef's hat? Did he cook himself? What, is he some sort of human-looking shmoo, happily flinging himself in the over for our eating pleasure? posted by Astro Zombie at 8:55 PM on September 10, 2006
(I only ask because I'm afraid I'm horribly naive/dense and missing something obvious.)
On preview: fair enough. He is a little... squinty. 'Course when I was a kid, sometimes the whole costume was a toy gun and green clothes (and realistic toy guns, not these brightly colored things. And we trick-or-treated uphill both ways)
i'd encourage folks to pick up a set of these for halloween. i think it would help to start conversations. posted by arialblack at 9:38 PM on September 10, 2006
Am I alone in being troubled that the gun moll costume was sold out? Fortunately they still have one of these in stock. Ugh. posted by papoon at 9:41 PM on September 10, 2006
These costumes aren't bad, but isn't everyone going to go as Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin with a stingray through their middle this year? posted by onlyconnect at 9:49 PM on September 10, 2006

I love the fact that the biker getup has a chick in a martini glass. That's classy. posted by Holy foxy moxie batman! at 10:52 PM on September 10, 2006
I thought most of those were pretty tame, really. But the Leather Bear costume is a bit much. posted by lekvar at 12:39 AM on September 11, 2006
Oh lord, I will be haunted by the pizza baby all day. posted by Dr-Baa at 5:50 AM on September 11, 2006
One could always put a condom over their head and go as a well-dressed prick. posted by jonmc at 6:17 AM on September 11, 2006
Here's an idea -- the Guantanamo Detainee costume. It's basically the orange jumpsuit "prisoner" one, with a black cloth bag over your head and your hands cuffed behind your back. posted by clevershark at 6:19 AM on September 11, 2006
Those costumes are disturbing. I make my child dress as a sociopath every year (they look just like everyone else). I’ve been wanting to go as the ‘fruit of the loom’ guys. posted by Smedleyman at 7:37 AM on September 11, 2006
a bit tamer is that not a john wayne gacy outfit posted by baker dave at 11:13 AM on September 11, 2006
At least it's not a sexy John Wayne Gacy outfit... posted by hermitosis at 11:41 AM on September 11, 2006
I must say, as a child I would have killed for an astronaut costume like that.
Agreed! When I went as an astronaut about 20 years ago, it onvolved some silver-ish spandex material and two liter bottles wrapped in foil (as a jet pack). posted by scottymacten at 1:57 PM on September 11, 2006
woah, guys, the babies are totally photoshopped. i mean, it's hilarious to the point where i'm sitting in my chair laughing my ass off.
Guys, the whoppee cushion baby's arms are DOLL ARMS. posted by alona at 5:34 PM on September 11, 2006
The girl vamping it up in the pinstriped suit? Not my child! posted by ThePinkSuperhero at 8:09 PM on September 17, 2006 [1 favorite]
