A gender-bent Sailor Moon entourage, all bearded and bulky in their amazing mini skirts and heels looking fabulous, with a female Tuxedo Mask leading them

A big middle-aged dude, beard and all, dressed as a bumblebee. Not the Transformers character, the actual bee.

Also doubles as a Jerry Seinfeld costume.

In college a buddy of mine went as "that bad dream where you forgot to wear pants" and had a nice dress shirt and blazer coupled with tighty whities hidden underneath an oversize pair of boxer shorts. Also dress socks and shoes. Was a well recieved costume.

My friend one year dressed up as identity theft. She had a stack of those "My name is: stickers and people could write down their names and she would stick them to her coat. lol

Guy at a party had a bunch of cut up cerial boxes tied around him, some with knives in them. He was a cerial killer.

This was a long time ago, so I don't remember the exact details, but...

A couple went as a pair of penguins. And they had a half-dozen friends dress up as National Geographic photographers, following them around.

(Oh, this was probably when March of the Penguins had just been released.)

That guy and his entourage in Shibuya every year dressed as Xi Jinping.

The vocalist of cattle decapitation went as a YouTube video. He walked around with a massive white border saying in the video title. How to do pig squeal vocals. His name was Bobby Br00tal.

A kid showed up last night, wearing a cardboard box on his head, with a single green led light in it. I have no idea what he was supposed to be. (A security camera? Gort from "Day the Earth Stood Still?") He got candy though. It's the effort that counts.

I had a coworker wear a cardboard sign that said "Nudist on strike" once. I loved the simplicity.

The priest one that has a small child attached at the waist. I have a sick sense of humour
