Halloween is right around the corner and I know all you witches are scrambling to find the perfect costume. Will you get creative and stray from your old costume box? As you reach for your cat ears this year, keep in mind these basic costumes to avoid:

1. Sugar Skull

So dead is the new trend? How about this costume is dead. Make up is fun and we all like to paint our faces to hide the evidence of that last shot we took, but no amount of makeup can hide your lack or originality with this one.

2. Harley Quinn

Remember when The Joker blew up the hospital in Batman? Well, this costume idea should have been in the building. Margot Robbie was a bad-ass in Suicide Squad and nobody can play a Harley like her.

3. Mermaid

Remember when Ariel gave up her voice so she could be human? Yeah she didn't even want to be a mermaid and Prince Erick didn't want her to be one either. So why would you want to be one?

4. Vampire

Grab your garlic, the vamps are out. Put these fun suckers back in their coffins because like them, this costume is dead.

5. Cat.

Nobody likes cats in general. Meow.

6. Angels & Devils.

This costume should go to hell along with the Gators. Go Noles.

7. Cops & Robbers.

This costume robs you of your originality. Leave those handcuffs in your dresser drawer because the only person getting arrested should be you for being so basic.

8. Bunny.

Hugh Hefner doesn't even like bunnies anymore, move on.

9. Purge.

Instead of dressing in an oversize white tee that you threw some red paint on and putting on the classic white mask maybe this year we should purge and kill the costume. We get it. It's an easy and cheap costume, but put the costume to rest just like you would that girl who stole your boyfriend.

10. Deer & The Hunter.

Deer lord, dressing as a deer while your boyfriend dresses as the hunter just reiterates the fact that he hunted you down and won.

Every year we say we are going to get creative and come up with something new but lets face it, we are all just basic witches.
