SOMETIMES THE NAMES of certain Halloween costumes need to be changed for legal reasons.
The new costume names are at the mercy of how creative some poor copywriter is feeling that day. Here are some of the costumes that fell victim to bad name changes this year.
1. Evil Dummy
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
The classic horror character that we all know and love.
2. Army Fever
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
Not sure what the original name was supposed to be, but Army Fever sounds like a euphemism for Syphilis.
3. Golden Princess
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
As seen in Golden Princess and The Beast.
4. Super Mario Green Costume
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
Sorry Luigi, you’re now known as the Green Mario.
5. Better than being known as The Plumbers Mate.

6. Rockstar Housewife
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
Freddie Mercury’s legacy is Rockstar Housewife.
7. 80s Pop Tart

Is this supposed to be Cyndi Lauper or a toasted breakfast snack?
8. Cruel Diva
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
Everybody knows the Cruel Diva who hates dogs.
9. Sponge Babe
Costume Corner

What’s interesting about this costume is the fact that it could only be considered ‘sexy’ by someone who was attracted to Spongebob.

10. Marathon Woman
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
1) What a coincidence that this woman has half of the digits from the UK’s Directory Enquiry service on her t-shirt. 2) Those shoes definitely are not suitable for a marathon.
11. Chocolate Man
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
This is like if one of your grandparents tried to tell you the story of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory but they forgot Willy Wonka’s name. “So Charlie gets this golden ticket right, and he gets to go visit… What’s your man’s name? The chocolate man. Whatever. Anyway.”
12. Old School Rapper
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
When you think of old school rappers, MC Hammer is probably not the first name that comes to mind.
13. Hairy Relative
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
We probably all have a hairy relative in fairness. But they probably don’t look like Cousin Itt from The Addams Family.
14. The Manic
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
OK wait. Is this supposed to be Jim Carrey in The Mask? Or Nigel Farage on the one year anniversary of Brexit?
There’s definitely no copyright problems with using the words ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, so there’s no excuse for naming this costume ‘Wolf Bait’. This woman is going to be torn to shreds by wolves.
16. 60s Gigolo
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
Was Austin Powers even considered to be a gigolo?
17. Guerrilla Revolutionary
Costume Corner
Costume Corner
No need to explain what this one is supposed to be. The description of the product says it all:
