It’s that time of year again where we all go to our local fancy-dress shop, pick up something scary to run around the streets in and demand chocolate off people. That’s right: it’s Halloween season and you know the 1001-Up.com team love a bit of cosplay.
Although there are a lot of great costumes out there – just check out our article on the cosplay at this year’s Eurogamer Expo for example – there are also a whole host of bad ones. Now I don’t mean like when I was a kid, children with just a bin-liner over their heads thinking they were ghosts. I’m talking about costumes that people have thought long and hard about and spent countless hours creating, or even those they’ve spent quite a lot of money on, but at the end of the day they just fall short of the mark and look absolutely terrible. Below are some of these scarily bad choices.

Well there you have it: I think you’ll agree that was simply terrifying. So whatever you’re thinking of dressing up as this year, take note of this article and don’t make the same mistakes.
