5 incredibly-predictable costumes we’re expecting this Halloween weekend

5 incredibly-predictable costumes we're expecting this Halloween weekend
Oct 20 2022 Share

Halloween is almost with us and, while we can’t wait to rock a costume and join in on the spooky celebrations, there are a few looks which we can see coming from a mile away. Of course, Halloween is all about having a good time, but originality always comes with bonus points: here are 5 incredibly-predictable costumes we’re expecting this Halloween weekend.

Stranger Things

Halloween costumes are all about delving into the scary, spooky and supernatural and, considering what a monstrous global hit Stranger Things was, we can’t imagine a Halloween scenario without a Stranger Things costume. Whether you’re going for a classic Eleven look or something a bit different such as Max or Eddie Munson, make sure you look fresh AF whilst Running Up That Hill.

Rabbit/Cat

We’ve seen this costume one too many times. The red make-up, bunny ears and whiskers have been an annual Halloween trope for as long as we can remember and we don’t see things changing anytime soon. Whilst respecting the effort made for an otherwise predictable costume… we do think you could do a little better this year.

Squid Game

This is inevitable: every single year you’re bound to find a handful of people who weren’t in the mood of coming up and shopping for a new Halloween costume, so they just wear what was hot last year. As you know, last year’s Halloween celebrations were dominated by green tracksuits & pink jumpsuits & the probability is that if those same people can’t find the time to shop for a fresh look, they’ll resort to whatever they find from last year.

Harley Quinn

The pop culture influence continues with this one. The past years have truly been a superhero resurgence in films and television series and few came out with the same amount of fanfare as DC’s Suicide Squad and what better costume to wear that the Queen of Crime herself, Harley Quinn. If you are going to wear a Harley Quinn costume, however, make sure you rock a huge mallet as part of the costume.

Jeffrey Dahmer

The mere idea of a costume inspired by the American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer caused quite a bit of controversy online for its macabre reminder of what went down between the ’70s and ’90s but despite this, we still forecast a few people going ahead with it. Individuals posting photos of themselves costumed-up as the Milwaukee Cannibal received a tonne of backlash and rightly so, so if you’re planning your Halloween costume this year… be aware.

What are YOU dressing up as this year?

Things that lasted more than Liz Truss’ time as UK Prime Minister

Things that lasted more than Liz Truss' time as UK Prime Minister
Oct 20 2022 Share

In a news headline that echoed across the world, Liz Truss has just resigned as UK Prime Minister, bringing a some-45-day tenure to an end after weeks of controversy… here are a few things which lasted longer.

Kim K & Kris Humphries’ marriage

Kim Kardashian’s 72-day marriage to American former professional basketball Kris Humphries outlasted Liz Truss’ Prime Ministership by 28 days. The U.S. influencers’ marriage become a global meme after the couple broke ties only a few weeks after their wedding.

The Tesco Lettuce

Initially erected as a caricature of Truss herself, a Tesco-purchased head of lettuce costing 68 cents became the stuff of national interest after UK newspaper The Daily Star asked whether it would actually manage to outlast Liz Truss as UK PM… well, there you have it.

Boris Johnson

After his dramatic hasta la vista exit, Boris Johnson’s term as UK Prime Minister became one of the shortest in modern history. In between shocking statements and utterings of absolute nonsense, Johnson’s tenure was definitely memorable, but Truss’ time truly topped it. What’s more is that many are calling for Johnson’s return to the Prime Minister seat.

A Nokia 3310’s battery life

Everyone knows that this iconic phone’s endurance is the stuff of legend and whether it’s being thrown down a few floors or left untouched for days, we’re sure it can go the distance. You think Liz Truss faced difficult situations, imagine this phone in the 2000s.

A carton of long-life milk

If preserved in decent temperatures, an unopened carton of long-life milk can have a shelf life of between six and nine months. Of course, the conditions of your kitchen cupboard are much less distressing than the UK’s socioeconomic status at the moment, but we’re fairly certain that it would last more than 45 days.

What else do you know lasted longer?

In a moment of breaking news in the United Kingdom, it appears that Liz Truss has resigned as UK Prime Minister.

In a meeting with 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady, it was agreed that a leadership election will be held next week, with Truss to remain prime minister until a successor is elected.

Earlier today, Truss told journalists that she took office at a time of “great economic and international instability”, going on to state “I recognise, given the situation I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.”

Truss spent a total of 45 days in office, making it the shortest Prime Minister tenure in the country’s history.

Two men appear to be coming into blows before being held back two of their respect acquaintances before one of the individuals boards a Valletta-bound bus.

At the end of the video, one of the men grabs a rubbish-ridden cardboard box from the pavement and throws it at the departing bus, with the contents of the box flying onto the street.

The reason for the altercation is so far unknown.
