7 pop culture Halloween costumes you should definitely avoid this year
LAST YEAR WAS a strong year for standout pop culture moments: Miley Cyrus’ twerk-a-thon at the VMAs, Daft Punk ruling the airwaves with Get Lucky and the end of Breaking Bad made for some good (if predictable) Halloween costumes.
