Holloween: Best and Worst Costumes

Clearance racks all over are wrapped in orange and black marking the end of Halloween. Extra large bags of skull shaped suckers, spider web streamers and screeching skeletons are suddenly on sale.

Halloween is over.

People everywhere are discarding their costumes that for some were a year in planning, while for others(like me) were a last minute ticket into a party. After seeing hundreds of half hearted attempts at The Joker and Michael Phelps, I thought it appropriate to do a 'best of' list of the costumes I witnessed over the weekend. While the standard for judgement will essentially be based on my opinion, I will factor in originality, creativity, and aesthetic achievement.
