It's that time of year again where I get overly ambitious for a Halloween costume! Here's a sample of costumes from the last decade or so, as well as 3 clues to this year's costume. Hit me with your best guesses!
Past Halloween costumes, from top left: an iPhone, Sadness from Inside Out, None Pizza with Left Beef meme, BB-8 from Star Wars, Barbenheimer, and a coconut tree A scene from Seinfeld in which George is peeking through a door and Jerry is trying to close it. Text over Jerry reads: “My friends and family.” Text over George reads: “Board game night?” Text above reads: “me playing my new favorite board game of 2025.” Below is a photo of Ben from Parks and Rec during a game of Cones of Dunshire, saying, “It’s about the cones.” A manatee that looks like a rainbow threw up on it. Caption reads: “Oh the hue-manatee.”

first hour of #p4a2025 summarized

Meme from the "Do You Wear Wigs?" interview from the press tour for Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Dominic Monaghan asks, "Do you wear wigs?" to an unsuspecting Elijah Wood. In this meme, Elijah Wood has been swapped out for John Green on the P4A livestream, wearing a wig as Silly Ray Cyrus.
