Here’s a new feature I’ll have periodically for the month, where I look at some of the best (and worst) costumes that are out on the market now. As a Garden Cashier at Wal-Mart, I get to help straighten out the costumes, and I get a good look at some of them, and let’s just say, it amazes me what they think some people will buy (and, believe it or not, what they DO buy). So, without further ado, let’s get this started with some of the worst costumes I’ve seen!

Woopie Cushion: Ai-yi-yi. This is what, in my opinion, gets kids beat up at school. I mean, what kid comes up to his mom and says, "Hey, Mom, you know what would be a cool costume? A woopie cushion!" What’s worse, when looking for the picture of this, I saw adult versions of it, too.

I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing that, I’m sorry. But, hey, if you have a daughter and want to match your son up, here you go:

Donkey: This costume gets my award for Most Unfortunate Head Hole Placement. Available from Spirit Halloween, if you really want to get it, again, I just can’t picture someone wanting to have their head coming out of a donkey’s rear end.

Fat Drac: We had these costumes last year… there were three of them, Fat Dracula, Fat Superman and Fat Batman. These costumes actually make me laugh quite a bit… but they’re still not that good.

I want to close with a costume that I like a lot. I bought it last year, and it worked out really well, I really enjoyed the wings on it. I even walked over to another friend’s house to show it at night (which was an experience in itself, what with the black mesh over the eyeholes).

I hope that everyone enjoyed the costume closet. Look for another, regular article coming tomorrow from Happy Horror. In the meantime, take care, and as always, until next time, this is Red Hawk signing out!
