A werewolf, but not on a full moon
You see, if we’re actually being realistic, most werewolf costumes are inaccurate. Halloween isn’t even on a full moon this year, so I’m actually being the best werewolf by not doing anything different.
Your best friend
Although you know you have created the perfect caricature of your friend, nobody else outside of your friend group knows that. Bore whoever you’re talking to by telling them all about the inside jokes, quirks and anecdotes about your BFF that inspired each part of your costume.
A once vegan, rehabilitated vampire who recently relapsed
At first look, you might think that I’m just your run of the mill vampire. However, as you see by the my pronounced veins on my neck, I have not had human blood in a very long time. Though I still will suck your blood, I will feel great remorse while I’m doing it.
Bruce Wayne, not Batman
Not only is Bruce Wayne much less recognizable than Batman, but you can also deny being Batman if anybody does recognize your costume, furthering their confusion. You could alternately be Peter Parker, not Spiderman.

An obscure characters from a children’s tv show
Not only will you get to enlighten others about Noggindrill’s amazing abilities, but you can insert random, completely unrelated facts about Zoboomafoo to further lengthen your conversation!
A meme
No, you’re not the character in the meme, you’re the whole meme itself. This is a perfect chance to take an uncomfortably long amount of time to bring up the meme on your phone to show to other partygoers.
Half of a couple’s costume
Your partner is in the bathroom right now so you’re just a lone slice of bread with peanut butter. Take the opportunity to explain your complicated relationship history!
