Actually, I wasn't referring to the racial costumes. I meant the scary or monstrous costumes. Why do they have to be scary or monstrous?
Be imaginative. One year, my buddies and I bought white wet suits, attached some tails and went as sperms. Had a buddy with red hair that rolled himself up in white linen and went as a used tampon.
Hell, even if yer broke you can smear some peanut butter around your lips and go as an asshole

Lmfao the idea behind Halloween was to dress up as demons and mock them, is it not? I know there are 'other' costumes but they are usually something silly (like the used tampon) or grotesque, to make fun of those things.
And then there are the girls in tinkerbell and playboy bunny costumes; the scariest of all costumes.
I know you don't have to be scary, it's just odd to me when people aren't. That's the point of the holiday

It's all about fear!
It ceased to be all about fear the moment little kids started going door to door "mooching"
