8 Halloween Costumes We Don’t Want to See Next Year

5. A character from Train to Busan or perhaps the whole cast?

The Korean zombie flick-cum-social commentary made the perfect costume possible for groups of indefinite number and vastly differing ages. Couple costume? Take your pick between mom- and dad-to-be or high school sweethearts. Child or grandmother in tow? No problem. Single zombie? This movie has that too. No one gets left behind. Not even your friends in need of last-minute costumes who decide to ride on the appeal of your carefully coordinated costumes for Young Gook and Jin-hee, complete with varsity jackets and baseball bats, with a generic civilian ensemble and some fake blood.
6. A unicorn and/or mermaid

It started with Tumblr and a highly colorful subculture dubbed “Seapunk” in 2011. Five years and countless internet iterations later, mermaids, unicorns and the icons of a girly childhood have become trendier than ever. Makes you just want to throw-up rainbows.
7. A victim of extra-judicial killings

Because no one wants to see that, ever.
8. Duterte

The controversial incumbent President of the Philippines has made an icon of himself with his endless wardrobe of checked button-down shirts, irrepressible mouth and wayward middle finger. Whether that makes donning a mask of his face and your everyman’s shirt and blue jeans a winning move depends on which side of the fence you’re on.
