I love the costumes that feature the character on the shirt as well. Star Trek would have been so much greater if Kirk's uniform had a smug picture of himself on it.

I love it that the Cyclops mask has three eyes!

I wore the more mainstream version of these. Almost everyone my age did, I think, at least once.
For some reason, they make me both happy and sad at the same time. They're both awesome and just so damn cheap all at once.

I wore those style of costumes for about three years running. I know one was a Monchichi, but I can't remember the others. I hated the wholes and the fumes off the outfit always made me feel dizzy (I would call it high now  ). Better than the black vinyl cape and the inflatable bat-thing headdress to match, that's for sure. |

Those things sucked.
The eyeholes were usually too close or too far apart. The rubber band would snag in your hair and the clip that held it through the mask would give way halfway through the night. They were as flame retardant as jet fuel and your mother would RUIN IT by insisting you wore your winter coat over it. How the frak would you know, for instance, the R2D2 one unless you could also see the costume top that said R2D2 on it? So the winter coat ruined EVERYTHING.
They'd come out of the box more wrikled than Phyllis Dillers' [CENSORED].
But that garbage was all anyone ever wore.
What low-quality, poorly-designed junk.

The Jaws one is probably my favorite.
I didn't really do Halloween when I was a kid. The last time I dressed up was when I was seven, and I was Batman. But most of the costumes before that were pretty simple (the only other one I know of was a karate uniform I wore when I was two). I used to dress up in really lame costumes in high school so I could get out of class to take pictures. One year, I wore two leaves behind my ears and my normal clothes. Another year I went as the Unknown Comic (or Ratso). I must've worn those crappy ones when I was younger, but I just don't remember.
And Ratso, that Yoda costume sucked. They could've at least half-assed it and made him a shade of green.

Cleopatra(?) looks like a vampire. And the Jaws one is cool because you're not going as the shark; you're going as a victim caught in his throat.
