Halloween Costumes Rule!

from This Thing Rules Hosted by Brian Altano and Max Scoville

Going door to door asking for candy from strangers is a pretty strange thing to do, but what if you wore a ridiculous outfit while doing so? Somehow that’s become a totally normal tradition that we do every year. As much fun as the candy and spooky decor is, one of the most fun things about Halloween is getting to dress up as whatever the hell you want to. We take a look back at some of the origins of wearing costumes at Halloween (and sometimes Christmas) and reminisce about some of our fondest fancy dress memories over the years, including but not limited to the Smurfs, Willy Wonka, Punished Snake, Mario, The Joker, a LEGO Minifig and Batman in Khakis. Intro contains clips from “Dead Man’s Party” by Oingo Boingo, The Nightmare Before Christmas, It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and the Beavis and Butt-Head episode “Bungholio: Lord of the Harvest.”
