Halloween night is a superb time of year and individuals of every age group like to dress up in maybe funny Halloween costumes or terrifying face masks to go out ringing doorbells and to those fantastic Halloween fancy dress events. At this time there is definitely a huge variety of costumes to pick from which you can either make by yourself or maybe buy them from the store, online or otherwise. For many, it can be a great deal of fun to look around for funny Halloween costumes and a great way to choose most of these fancy dress costumes is usually to look for widespread media reports which happened during the past year or so.

So what on earth has been outstanding in the news headlines? What about Tiger Woods? As most people know, he has been and still is a very successful pro golf player who has received tons of press exposure for quite some time for being so good at winning tournaments. Nevertheless, it is not for his abilities on the greens that he hit the headlines recently. You would most likely have had to have been living on a deserted island not to find out about his publicly stated cheating on his Swedish now ex-wife, Elin Nordgren. Regrettable as this appeared to be for the couple concerned, it is definitely a great theme for a cheeky Halloween outfit. You can get a terrific Tiger Woods mask provided with bruising and a missing front tooth, and there is also a Cheetah Woods hat with a fake golf club bent over the top of it. More than likely you can imagine it!

The second possibility for funny Halloween costumes from the media headlines of the last 12 months, let’s look to the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. In April 2010, this was the location of a massive disaster when there was an explosion and fire, creating an oil slick. Undoubtedly, this was an environmental disaster, but it was also a disaster for the owners of the oil rig, BP – both with regards to the organization’s balance sheet and for public relations. And so again, you could make use of this funny Halloween costume idea? You can find a set of oil-soaked overalls displaying the BP logo. In this case, BP is short for Bad Planning. Try a little greasepaint to your face and you will be ready to go with a seriously topical example of funny Halloween costumes.

Lastly, anybody who watched the 2010 MTV Music Awards, could hardly have failed to see the Lady Gaga meat dress which apparently weighed fifty pounds. That’s right, she wore a costume constructed from real animal flesh and of course this turned out to be really questionable. Therefore, if you fancy being thrown to the wolves at a costume party, what about considering wearing a Lady Gaga meat dress this Halloween night? It does not matter whether you are male or female to pull off this funny Halloween costumes idea effectively. It is probably not recommended to utilize actual meat, for a variety of factors, but you can use a meat costume, and you could incorporate a bit of extra gore by covering your face, legs and arms with imitation blood. This way, there will be no flies on you. Actually, you could improvise and put fake flies all over your outfit – you will need to use your own creativity for this though.

At any rate, you can see that there is no shortage of funny Halloween costumes that you can choose from at the moment. Tiger Woods, the BP oil spill and Lady Gaga are just some targets for humor. You can more than likely think of a whole lot more ideas as well if you give it a little thought.
