70 Funny Halloween Costume Ideas For Adults In 2021

Halloween is one of the best holidays of the year. There's nothing quite like going all out to get dressed up in funny Halloween costumes to poke fun at pop culture or become a ridiculous pun for the night.

Even though that whole trick-or-treat portion is designed for kids, people of all ages can still dress up and celebrate. In fact, if there was a poll between adults and kids to see who enjoys Halloween the most, it would probably be a close call.

This year, Halloween falls on Sunday, October 31, 2020.

The origin of this spooky day dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. During this festival, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to keep ghosts away.

Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV deemed November 1 as All Saints Day, which is a day to commemorate all of the saints, but was also a move to curb the Samhain festivals. The evening before All Saints Day became known as All Hallows Eve, which would eventually be called Halloween.

In modern times, Halloween is a day of festivities&when people can enjoy trick-or-treating for candy, carving pumpkins, and wearing costumes.

At the end of the day though, easily the best part of Halloween is the costumes. It's so much fun to dress up!

Just because Halloween is normally associated with all things spooky and scary, doesn't mean we are limited to only those choices in our costume decision making. In fact, funny outfits or costumes with a clever pun are really popular.

Even though we enjoy dressing up, finding the perfect costume to wear is easier said than done and it helps to have some ideas to pull from.
