Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love going all out with the details of my costumes and usually start brainstorming what I’m going to be on November 1 each year!
While I tend to go for DIY versions of my favorite TV characters, I have a lot of respect for those who can translate a play on words into a hilarious outfit like the creative folks below. Even if you don’t love puns, I'll bet you won’t be able to contain your laughter at more than a couple of them.
They put their own very literal spin on their costumes with some of my favorite puns and idioms. I’ve seen a few of these awesome ideas on display at parties over the years, but others took their imaginations to a whole new level.

1. Cereal Killer
This quirky take on the popular costume is almost too cute to be scary!
2. Hawaiian Punch
This could work as a solo costume or by gathering your best buds for extra impact.
3. Pig In A Blanket
Bonus: You won't have to worry about getting chilly all night!
4. Ceiling Fans
This could also work with fake jerseys or fan signs, too.
5. Green With Envy
This is the perfect idea for those super-adorable couples who make all their friends jealous with their sweet relationship.
6. French Kiss
Gene Simmons would definitely approve of this twist on the iconic face paint.
7. Jack In A Box
Whether or not your name is actually Jack, this one is a winner.
8. Spice Girls
You can add some platform sneakers and '90s fashion for those who really want to go all out with this idea!
9. Freudian Slip
This one's a thinker, but you can clear things up with a photo of the man himself if you want, or maybe grab a pipe and glasses like he used to sport back in the day.
10. Zombee
As if they weren't already scary enough with those painful stingers!
11. Blessing In Disguise
This simple take on the common phrase is probably my favorite from the whole list. So easy but so clever!
12. and 13. Kevin Bacon and Deviled Egg
This is great for couples or friends, or just rock one on its own. I'm suddenly craving breakfast, though.
14. Curiosity Killed The Cat
Me-ouch, this one is definitely a sassy interpretation of the classic black cat.
15. Were-Waldo
I think this scruffy look would make the infamously mysterious bespectacled book character a bit easier to spot in a crowd!
