Halloween is right around the corner and it is difficult to find a costume that no one else has. There are the sexy Cinderella costumes and witch costumes. It will be difficult to find something that no one else has. Store bought costumes are easy to get but are overpriced and lame.
Listed below are ten out-of-the-box costume ideas. These ideas can’t be bought in store and are relevant to what is going on right now. They are all, probably, do it yourself and incredibly difficult to find or make. Dressing like any of them would be fun and interesting.
Halloween is supposed to be fun and dressing up in these costumes will simply add to the fun. It will be fun to make them and talk about them. These costumes aren't sexy or scary. The costumes are just regular Halloween outfits.
Go through the list below and consider these options before going to a costume shop and dressing up as another doctor.
10. Miley Cyrus’s tongue
Miley has been very busy with her new CD, having risqué Video Music Awards performances and twerking. She will be a very popular costume this year. Her costume from the VMAs is already sold out on Amazon and the foam finger costume is popular as well. For the Miley fans, there is another potential costume.
Miley’s tongue would be a great costume. It has become an icon that everyone talks about. It would make great conversation on why it is so popular. It would be a funny, relevant costume.

9. The Mockingjay pin
Katniss is going to be a popular costume this Halloween. With the second Hunger Games coming out this fall, there will be little girls dressing up like the character and adults as well. For the unique Hunger Games fans, there is another costume. Simply cut to the chase and dress as the pin itself. Everyone else who is wearing the pin will feel so jealous that they aren’t dressed up as source.

8. Ariel’s shell bra
There will be plenty of Disney’s mermaid costumes running around. There will be kid Ariel costumes, regular Ariel costumes and even sexy Ariel costumes. There won’t be, however, many costumes of the infamous purple shell bra. Will it be difficult to create such a costume? Probably. But the shell bra will cause quite a stir at a party.

7. North West
Another costume that you can try is dressing up as North West. Not Kim and Kanye’s baby, rather a compass pointing toward the northwest. It is relevant and fun. Plus, if you run into Kim or Kanye while Trick-or-Treating, you can keep from looking like a jerk making fun of their baby.

6. Meredith, Taylor Swift’s cat
There are at least three different stores selling Taylor Swift costumes. Dressing like the superstar is popular because she is recognizable and it is an easy costume. However, dressing like her cat would be good too. This costume should not be confused with a regular cat costume. The Meredith costume must come with the sassy spirit of being a celebrity’s cat.

5. 50 Shades of Grey book
I’ve never the 50 Shades books but I do know that there is some pretty kinky stuff in there. I can only assume that the characters’ costumes are 50 shades of inappropriate. Instead of dressing like the characters, like most fans will, dressing as the book itself will be unique. And, no one will be confused on what the costume is. It will say right on the cover!

4. Bite taken from Apple Logo
The new iPhone 5s and 5c were released and they will be popular costumes this year. If the Apple fans really want to stick out, they can be the bite taken out of the Apple logo. It is unique and funny. It could even be a couple’s costume where one person could be the logo and the other could be the bite.

3. Hash tag
If you’re unfamiliar with the hash tag, it is simply a number sign in front of the word. On twitter, when one uses a hash tag, another twitter user can click on it and see other tweets about the topic. However, it has expanded to Instagram, Facebook and annoying people saying it in everyday conversation. In 2012, a couple named their baby Hash tag so, the costume is a relevant and outrageous costume. #BestCostumeEver

2. Meth from Breaking Bad
Breaking Bad had its final episode in September and it is still on the fans’ minds. There will be plenty of Jessie and Walt costumes to go around. However, one costume that won’t be? The meth itself will be a great costume. The blue colored meth will be recognizable and all of the lame character costumes will look lame in comparison. The meth could even be part of a group costume. Because the meth became a character itself on Breaking Bad, it would be fun to have a Walt, Jessie and meth group. It would get my vote in a costume contest.

1. U.S Government Shutdown
This costume is both creative and newsworthy. The shutdown is on everyone’s mind. Why not jump on that? It would be difficult to pick the costume but, if the government shutdown costume is done right, it would be the best.
