If I could get serious for a moment, I'm so outraged at our society's constant insistence on sexualizing woolly mammoths
I appreciate that the Beetlejuice costume has "Beetlejuice" written on it like a helpful flash card.

"For those of you with too much pride to look at the site, you can actually mix-n-match all the absurdly expensive costume components, so you could be Sexy Beetlejuice but with Sexy Mammoth feet and a Sexy Rooster comb."
If I had lots of money, a Halloween party to go to, and an urge to wear a sexy costume, this is what I would go as.

what's next, Sexy Spinach? Sexy Sriracha? Sexy Coq au Vin? I mean, you could just dress up as the rooster, bring a bottle of red wine, and you'd be all, "hi, I'm sexy coq au vin" and on an edible objectification level that would be so much more rational than sexy... corn field......

Yeah, it seems like every year there is a story of this kind, and the "sexy" costumes keep getting more and weirder. It might be easy just to name "sexy" costumes so far not done, then somebody will do them this year for sheer devilment, and we can knock it on the head.

God the Something Awful house style is getting old.
Planet Fabulous costume: Obviously she's an adult member of the same race as the Teletubbies. They fill out nicely as they adolesce.
Sexy Rooster costume: I'm reminded of Dom Deluise on the Muppet Show in a (considerably less sexy thank god) costume, saying "How do I get out of this chicken outfit?" Sometimes the classics are best. SA says: "She's going to get ALL the boys, flopping its big polyester horse dong around like that." AUGH SA TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING FOR HORSE DONG.
Deluxe Woolly Mammoth costume: The "deluxe" part, I guess, is how you wousldn't know what the hell the costume is supposed to be without the name.
Indian Princess costume: Really an update of a standby. It is interesting to note what elements of this costume communicate Native American: the leather tassels, the headdress, and the feathers. Without even one of those the theme of the costume would be weakened to the point of confusion, proving the makers thought about this one in bare economic terms: the cheapest Indian suit the could make.
Fozzie costume: Not so much a costume as a themed dress. Having a big ol' second face sticking out of your torso is a time-honored deformity in the tradition of Total Recall, Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Astaroth from Ghosts & Goblins, but it loses something when your digestive system is shouting WOKKA-WOKKA-WOKKA.
Sexy Corn Field: What happens when that kid from the Twilight Zone visits a strip club. SA: "I can buy that. We want them inside of us, whether we eat them or just straight up shuck them and shove them raw into our hungry holes." Ironic pose or not, people like this are why the Internet is a bad place.
Sexy Donatelo (sic) costume: You'd think they could pay to have the shell drawn better. A lot of costumes, when you think about it, are just you paying to wear some piece of childhood cultural detritus on your body. Like we haven't heard enough about the fucking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in our lives.

Sexy Sriracha?
You say this as if Sriracha was not always sexy.
Having got that out of the way, I find these photo galleries... a little weird. The commentary is... crudely sexist? ironically crudely sexist, so not actually sexist? actually sexist despite being "ironically" sexist? It leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling in my thinking parts.
On the other hand, those costumes are... hard to explain, even is part of me is "sexy cornfield? well, whatever gets you through Halloween, I suppose." It's kind of like the "Kill one person, you are a monster, kill a million and you are a statesman" of costumes. Like it's a challenge "Oh, you did not like Sexy Rooster? How about Sexy Cornfield?" Although even that is falling short, since the real line of thinking should be "Oh, you did not like Sexy Rooster? How about Sexy Rooster Cogburn?"

I've been trying decide for years what the appropriate send-up of the whole sexy whatever would be for a male who doesn't really like that the default female costume is a sexy whatever.
Do I just get a sexy astronaut costume or whatever and wear it? Do I try to be a most un-sexy catholic schoolgirl? If I just wear what would constitute a sexy costume if a female were wearing it, do i go with the most stereotypical, or would, say, the sexy cornfield introduce the appropriate amount of cognitive dissonance?
Fuck it, I'm going as hunky Andrew Jackson.

Well, last year I went as a Sexy French Trapper, justifying the costume name by the fact that 1) I am a female and 2) by virtue of being a female, any costume I put on is 'sexy' by default.
I mean I was just wearing big old pants and boots under a big fur cloak and a coon skin cap, and I was wearing a moustache, but judging by the main link it seems like my 'if-worn-by-a-woman=sexy' theory rings true.
I maintain the moustache was the really sexy part.

Foci for Analysis: “moar”
Most of those kinda blur a line that I feel like shouldn't be blurry. To be more precise: most of those are costumes people made with their own hands to wear at a convention or party or something. I think it's pretty funny that a costume company would commercially produce something as ludicrous as a Sexy Rooster, but I feel kinda weird pointing and laughing at people who just wanted to have fun dressing up.

(I once spent 18 months working on Candy Land video games and by the end I was having nightmares about Mister Mint chasing me with hand grenades.)
However, the small kid dressed up as Buster Bluth in the army is hilarious. You can always tell a Milford Man.

It bothers me that such articles seem to be fuzzy on whether they're making fun of the companies producing such stupid sexy costumes or the women who wear them. It's turned into an annual excuse for a frenzy of woman hating.

This isn't a sexy Donatello, this is a sexy Donatello.
Also, really want that sexy plate of bean costume (or at least see some photoshop of it).

Anyone purchasing and wearing the things will receive lots of positive reinforcement.

Over the last few years, in several different Halloween costume stores, I've seen a number of 'Sexy Freddy Krueger' costumes, with the signature sweater being transformed into a too-short dress with revealing slashes across the front. Let's reflect on that for a bit... 'Sexy Child Murderer'. Or, going with the new film, 'Sexy Child Molester and Murderer'. One of the most poorly-conceived targets of cheap sexualization possible.
So of COURSE that's my costume this year, in a size too small. Along with the trashiest wig I could find and some gigantic Mary Jane platforms ordered from a drag outlet. Keep the horror alive!

Facebook informs me that a childhood acquaintance dressed up as a sexy Taco Bell hot sauce packet. Well, to be precise, she and several friends dressed up as every variety of Taco Bell hot sauce packet.
