It feels like one day we were going about our lives in early October, and Halloween was a distant event in our bleak futures. And then, suddenly, BAM! The entire internet was brimming with memes using the new-ish Spirit Halloween costume format. While people have been making this kind of parody meme since 2019, the format completely exploded this month - to the point where the company itself is in on the joke, and the #SpiritHallowmeme hashtag is now a thing. Spirit Halloween even tweeted a tem…

My culture is not your costume!

Not to brag, but I was the MVP of Halloween when I was a kid. My grandma, my mom, and I concocted costumes that could not be more legendary. Here's a master list of the costumes I did so that you will believe me: I was Arthur from the hit PBS series, The Monopoly Man, The Mona Lisa, Ursula The Sea Witch, Garfield The Cat, and a Cavewoman all in a row. Those were the costumes I wore from Kindergarten through 5th grade, and I had all hits and no misses. Even when I was a teenager, my Halloweens w…

The tarantula is my new sleep paralysis demon

Feeling fab-boo-lous

It is officially October, which means celebrating the Halloween season is now completely socially acceptable. During the first few weeks of Spooktober, before Halloween events really start revving up, I like to take time to consume some good old fashioned Universal Monster Movies. I'm talking The Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, and how could you forget the ever so furry Wolf Man. I'm of the opinion that the old monster movies are the most superior horror movies. Sure, t…

We're already screaming

Anyone who doesn't think that Halloween is the best holiday is clearly lying to themselves. Halloween has something for every age: kids get to Trick or Treat, teens go to haunted houses & watch scary movies, and adults get to party the night away. The consistency across all ages during Halloween is that you get to transform into something else through the power of costuming. What could be more novel than that? Christmas is fun…for the kids. I'd say about 75% of the things I hear about Christmas…

We're not usually ones to obsess over celebrity children. For one, it's a little bit creepy. There's also the fact that they've done nothing to deserve the attention except come out of a star's hooha. But with just one video, Kulture Kiari Cephus, the daughter of Cardi B and Offset, our stance may have changed.

How do you do, fellow kids?

I can already tell it's going to be a wild Halloween for costumes this year. From Squid Game to the Met Gala, there's plenty of recent cultural references to choose from. Of course, many might go with a classic spooky skeleton or wicked witch, but what can I say, we at Memebase are suckers for the memes. We've got a bunch of examples of funny Halloween costumes that were inspired by classic memes like 'this is fine' and 'me and the boys.' For those of us who were in hibernation last October due

Every October, hundreds of doggies flock to Tompkins Square Park in New York City to show off their best Halloween costumes. Last year's event was cancelled due to the pandemic, but on Saturday the canines made a big comeback and showed up in record numbers. Many families showed up as recognizable ensembles, like The Wizard of Oz, The Addams Family, and Scooby Doo, while other dogs happily marched around as cenobites, trash pandas, donuts, and superheroes.

Happy Hallow-meme!
