Halloween Costumes That Seem Like a Good Idea...but Aren't

Think you've got a genius dress-up idea for this October 31st? Stop a minute and reevaluate. It could be a recipe for disaster. Here are Cosmo's big no-no's.


1. One of those full-body, painted-on costumes. Someone spills a cocktail and you could have a major wardrobe malfunction.


2. The Snuggie. Sure, you'd be warm and cozy all night, but there's no way you're getting any action in that thing.


3. It's easy to strap on a bridal veil and a swine flu mask and pretend to be The Hills fame w---- Heidi Montag, but the risk of being hit on by a Spencer Pratt wannabe is just too horrifying.


4. Any type of Lycra catsuit. Not only is peeing a challenge, you'll also have perpetual camel toe.


5. Kate Gosselin. The reverse-mullet wig is bound to be plentiful in costume shops this year, but please resist the urge to keep this story going.


6. Paris Hilton. Too easy.


7. A sexy nurse, maid, or cop...in an XXS. We get it, you want to show some skin. Play it safe and go with the XS. You're going to freeze either way.
