Here’s what your Halloween costume actually says about you:

Scary/Gory Costume

What you think it says about you: I love all things terrifying and live for scary movies. I’m definitely not vain and certainly don’t care what other people think.

What it really says about you: You’re fully capable of applying zombie-like makeup all over your face. Perhaps you have insecurities about your appearance and for one day only want to see how the world would treat you if you truly were hideous? Oh and you’re clearly kind of a badass.

Controversial Costume

What you think it says about you: I’m a really funny, ironic person. Surely, everyone will understand my Hitler mustache is a joke.

What it really says about you: Wrong costume. You are inappropriate, socially awkward and should probably go home now. Please forget that we were ever friends.

The DIY Costume

What you think it says about you: I’m thrifty, creative and funny!

What it really says about you: You’re cheap, afraid of being called “mainstream” but boy, can you throw together a last-minute cardboard costume. Bravo!

Couples Costume

What you think it says about you: Aren’t we cute and oh-so in love?

What it really says about you: Wow, you two really complete each other. And we feel lonely now. But at least you two are actually pretty darn cute. Damn it.

Sexy Costume

What you think it says about you: I’m super fun and popular!

What it really says about you: Look at me! Look at me! Someone look at me!
