Because not everyone can get the real deal we suppose...
Now that Halloween is in touching distance – eek! – it's time to think about your show-stopping outfit. But not everyone wants to look like your standard ghost or ghoul.
Naturally we look to our favourite celeb, movie character or influencer – yep, that's a costume this year. A "sexy" Meghan Markle Halloween costume is even on sale, sans baby bump.
However, not everyone wants to shell out on the real McCoy. There's some spectacular Halloween knockoffs out there – and by spectacular we mean utterly tragic.
From "Hermany Grinder" to "A-lad-in a costume", Twitter user @DanaSchwartzzz treated everyone to an astounding thread of some of the worst Halloween copies people on the internet have discovered and trust us, they're awful.
So if you're lacking inspiration, here are some fabulous costumes for you to try at your own risk.
It all started with this "Notionless" costume.
