What Does Your Halloween Costume Say About You? – The Oxford Scholar

Summer season is nicely and actually over now, and we discover ourselves slap-bang in the midst of the spooky season as soon as once more. One among my favorite issues about Halloween costumes is that they at all times appear to disclose one thing concerning the wearer, whether or not that’s deliberate or unconscious, so right here’s a fast evaluation of your character based mostly on no matter your Halloween costume goes to be this 12 months.

 

Basic Spooky Costumes

Examples: Vampires, Witches, and Werewolves – you realize, traditional ‘monster film’ sort creatures

You’re a pressure to be reckoned with who’s decisive, daring and to not be messed with. Though your costume could also be on the plainer facet, you realize your presence and character greater than make up for this,

You won’t have spent quite a lot of time eager about what to decorate up as, however no less than you continue to dressed up. And in addition to, you’ve hit precisely the appropriate steadiness between straightforward and suitably spooky, so nobody can complain about that!

 

Pop Tradition Costumes

Examples: Celebrities, TV & Film characters, Singers, Politicians, Historic figures, and many others.

You’re a giant time procrastinator who would a lot slightly watch television, have a chat or scroll by way of Depop than do no matter you’re at the moment alleged to be doing. As an alternative, your priorities are nearer to residence, and also you’re at all times there to assist your folks once they want you.

This might go considered one of two methods. Both you’re dressed as a universally identified character, and everybody understands precisely who you’re alleged to be, or your costume is barely too obscure, and no one will get it. If it’s the primary – nice! If it’s the latter, then have enjoyable spending the night time explaining who you’re dressed as.

 

Horny Costumes

Examples: Horny physician/nurse, Horny nun, Horny fireman, and many others

You’re assured and you like consideration! You’re a pure chief who at all times is aware of precisely what to do when issues go incorrect, and also you’re by no means one to draw back from a problem.

Usually joked about, these costumes are by no means taken significantly, however they do appear to have taken on a sure ingredient of comedy in latest occasions. Extra conventional horny costumes are being missed in favour of parodies like ‘horny fish’, ‘horny fruit’, ‘horny lamp put up’, and innumerable different incontestably ‘unsexy’ issues made horny. The thoughts boggles.

 

Group Costumes

Examples: The Spice Ladies, The primary characters from Scooby Doo, The Plastics from Imply Ladies

Okay, so which considered one of you got here up with the thought and put 110% effort into their costume, and which of you might be simply going together with the plan for the sake of it?

Group costumes might be actually enjoyable if completed nicely, particularly when you’ve got a detailed group of buddies. The place it would collapse, nonetheless, is whenever you’re deciding who’s going to be who. Some of the vicious arguments I’ve ever seen was two buddies arguing over who was going to be Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, whereas the remainder of the good friend group seemed on bewildered. Additionally, keep in mind that the general impact of the costume is way stronger in the event you keep collectively all through the night time – a dressing up is for all of Halloween, not simply the Instagram put up!

 

Particular Results Make-up

Examples: Issues together with bald caps, liquid latex, gallons of pretend blood, or roughly 74 completely different shades of eyeshadow.

You’re a perfectionist, and also you maintain your self to ridiculously excessive requirements. You might have a great deal of free time, since you begin your whole essays the minute you get them, and whenever you do one thing, you ensure that to do it proper the primary time!

SFX make-up is nice in the event you handle to drag it off, though is it actually price on a regular basis spent on it? At the least you’ll in all probability get some good footage for social media out of it, however

 

The One that didn’t costume up

No offence, however you’re sort of boring.

Whether or not you ‘forgot’ to get a dressing up, otherwise you merely assume you’re too cool to decorate up (spoiler alert – you’re undoubtedly not!), you’re nearly undoubtedly going to spend a part of the night time feeling misplaced. Alternatively, possibly you probably did it to be meta, joking that you just dressed up as your self (or your self from the long run or your self from the previous). By which case, you might be completely not humorous, and I’d be asking you to go away my home instantly.
