Last year’s best Halloween costumes

In T-Minus 48 hours, Halloween will make its annual spooky premiere. And every year, that leering, daunting question always rears its head – what should I be for Halloween?

It seems that the cat costume just isn’t doing it for you anymore…So, I ask you: what will be your decision maker? The capricious Virginia weather is no help, I reassure you. Neither is your friend’s taunt that you should be the social media trifecta: Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram.

But never fear, don’t worry, all will be swell. We’ll find you a costume that won’t put you in jail. Without further adieu, here’s a guide that we’ve prepared for you.

Every year, there’s a large amalgam of cats. It’s inevitable, practically a modern day plague. If you are interested in going for the slutty cat costume, but also have an adorning affection for dogs as well, I ask you – ¿Por que no las dos?

Second years Elizabeth Wachter and her roommate Laura Baird dressed up as CatDog last year for Halloween. Truly a valiant commemoration to the beloved Nickelodeon – and you’ll be warm!

Third year Mehar Virdi had quite the starry night when he rolled up to all the Halloween parties as Van Gogh.

Great costume, albeit all the comments from drunken students asking why he had toilet paper on his year. Nonetheless, absolutely perfect for the art extraordinaire, or your average hipster.

Pictured below are the dynamic duo: Tes Sabin and Christian Osbourne. Sabin was Alex from A Clockwork Orange while Osbourne was a… wait, is that a bed?

Yup. That’s a bed.

“His costume was amazing. He would ask people to get in bed with him and then give them a blanket,” Sabin said.

Bravo. By far one of the best ways to ask someone to get into bed with you.

Any Spongebob elitist will definitely find these two costumes highly favorable while perusing for their dream Halloween look. Second years Anya Dallah and Jacqui Castro nailed any Spongebob lover’s dream.

They are, yes, you guessed it, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy: srat style. Job well done ladies. Spongebob would have been so proud.

Group costumes, gotta love them. Gotta hate them. Either way, they’re a Halloween must.

Sexy little schoolgirl Jean Wang poses with some randos to her left that debuted their Halloween wear from the hit show, How I Met Your Mother.

And to her right? Well, that’s a different story. Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake doppelgängers perhaps? We definitely think so.

Second year Cole Alcaraz , pictured to the left, seems to be stirring up a revolution V for Vendetta Style.

And his friend, Brian Murray, is helping him out with a nifty ax in the clasp of his bloodied palms. Patrick Bateman much? Yes, yes indeed. An homage to the classic, American Psycho.

Last, but not least, is my failed attempt at Kanye West. The pink and purple shutter shades really do speak to me on a spiritual level. Other then that, I kept being confused for Madonna (really?) or some 80s queen.

To my right standing tall and mighty is my good friend Frozone, also known as Wes Gobar. He calls me Kanye. I call him Frozone. It’s a solid friendship. And no, he still does not know where his super suit is.

Whether you end up being a cat, a schoolgirl, or the politically confused, it won’t really matter what  you end up being anyways. It’ll either be a) too dark to see what you’re wearing or b) everyone will be too drunk to figure out what you are.

After all, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girl can say anything else about it.

Welp, looks like cat it is.
