Cheap Ass Halloween Costumes to Make Your Children Sad
Some parents really go all out to make Halloween a special occasion for their children. And some parents wake up from a drunken stupor on October 31st, roll of the couch and exclaim, “It’s Hallow what?! Fine, kid, put this paper bag on your head. Now you’re the ghost of a tree. Happy, skedaddle!”
Some parents will spare no expense to make Halloween as depressing as possible. These are those parents’ kids.

Best of Strollerderby October 31, 2009 | Famecrawler commented on Oct 31 09 at 4:00 pmdiera commented on Oct 20 09 at 4:42 pmI don’t get it. I thought most of these were fine. OK, the kid in the Cheerios box is lame, but I thought many of them had quite a lot of thought and effort put into them, even if the result wasn’t exactly professional – but since when was ‘professional-looking’ supposed to be the point of a kid’s Halloween costume? I thought the giraffe, the tree, the robot and the pool shark were all awesome.
MJ commented on Oct 20 09 at 4:50 pmI don’t get it either. Lots of work and creativity went into many of these.
Lucky commented on Oct 20 09 at 5:16 pmTalk about cheap my 14 month old son is going to be Harry Potter for Halloween. Pj’s and a lighting bolt on his head! Done!
JSeine commented on Oct 20 09 at 5:19 pmIt’s funny, but I’d give points for originality! It’s a sad sad world when a “suitable costume” has to be store-bought, and cute…
KellyK commented on Oct 20 09 at 5:20 pmThe Cheerios is lame. But I thought most of the rest are pretty freakin’ cute! Halloween is supposed to be fun!!
Ri-chan commented on Oct 20 09 at 8:06 pmDid you stop to consider that maybe these parents don’t just “wake up from a drunken stupor on October 31st, roll of the couch and exclaim, “It’s Hallow what?! Fine, kid, put this paper bag on your head. Now you’re the ghost of a tree. Happy, skedaddle!” ” or “try to make Halloween as deppressing as possible” but instead try to be creative and give their kids a good Halloween despite financial dificulties. I thought a lot of these were cute and you can tell some of these parents tried really hard. Be nice.
jenny tries too hard commented on Oct 20 09 at 8:21 pmOkay, the peanut was freakin’ adorable, the kid looked happy and it took some time and effort. Nacho Libre was spot on, though maybe you didn’t get it, not having seen the ridiculous movie 1000 times like I have. The snails, too, are cute. A lot of the kids are just crying cause they’re, um, babies, but the costumes look fine. Sheesh.
Kikiriki commented on Oct 20 09 at 8:36 pmSome really inventive costumes here, and many seemed to have taken a lot of effort. Guaranteed the fairy robot costume was exactly what that little girl requested.
Ah, Babble. Putting the snark in everything under the sun.
Mistress_Scorpio commented on Oct 20 09 at 9:10 pmI would love to dress my son as Max from WTWTA, but you can’t find the costume anywhere… except Etsy, and I can’t really dole out $175 plus a $50 Halloween surcharge for a costume these days.
Amber commented on Oct 21 09 at 12:10 amI agree with the others, I think a lot of these are great and perfect for the make-some-fun spirit of Halloween. I especially love the lobster in the pot!
a'smom commented on Oct 21 09 at 1:55 amthat nacho libre is awesome! love it!
korinthia commented on Oct 21 09 at 10:15 amI love these! The robot fairy is my favorite, but the lobster baby in the bucket is good too. I hope one of my kids asks to be an eyeball sometime.
Em commented on Oct 21 09 at 1:12 pmI’m confused why you’ve positioned these pictures this way. Better would be “Check out the wacky Halloween costumes!” Several of these are bought, and another batch are really well homemade ones.
Jen commented on Oct 22 09 at 8:33 amSeriously?!? Seriously?!? You write an article about crappy halloween costumes and *these* are the best pictures you can find. Me thinks someone phoned this article in.
There are no shortage of crappy kid costumes out there. Growing up my siblings and I had no shortage of them—including the year my parents had us make each others. My 6 year old brother wanted to be a clock. I, being 13 at the time, put him in a box and wrote 8:53 on him in black sharpie. Now THAT was a crappy costume.
Seriously dude – you’ve lost perspective.
soxmom commented on Nov 01 09 at 10:17 pmOh my god I thought the Nacho Libre was supposed to be RON JEREMY!!! Now THAT would be wrong…I thought most of these were cute, especially the lobster pot!
Christine commented on Oct 15 10 at 3:35 amAgreed. The costumes aren’t all that bad, but the blog headline sure is funny!!
kim commented on Nov 27 10 at 10:14 pmI think these are great costumes… I have always made my costumes up until this year because I didn’t have time. They were always fun for my son because he got to be exactly what he wanted and I had fun creating it…
Emma commented on Nov 28 10 at 1:20 pmWell Mr. Cole Gamble, since you think these costumes are so bad, you should go purchase $200 costumes for all these children. You obviously have the money if you can poke fun at these people. I bet your the kind of person who thinks Christmas is all about the presents too. Your a tool.
David commented on Jan 01 11 at 2:44 amI thought the oven costume was GREAT! A few were kinda lame, but then so were some of MINE when I was a kid!
poor kiid commented on Aug 21 11 at 1:50 pmthe poor kid costume? i guess its halloween for me everyday then.
Alice commented on Nov 16 11 at 9:03 pmI personally LOVED the lobster
