Halloween's all in good fun until someone shows up looking truly frightful. In the movie Mean Girls, bewildered outsider Cady remarks, "In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." And often, that goes double for guys.
Of course, Halloween is celebrated for dismissing inhibitions and transforming everyday wallflowers into smoking hotties. Because, face it, some costumes were made to get a little dirty. The power, confidence, and authority that come with cop uniforms and fitted fishnets are striking aphrodisiacs, just like the virginal innocence of lacy chambermaids and fairytale beauties in knee socks. And while sexy gone right looks so, so sultry, sexy gone bad is a Halloween horror story.
Here, we present some cautionary photos.

Cartoons can be cutesy, cuddly, and clever, but this undersea Showgirl looks trashier than a used carwash sponge. Check out our own SpongeBob look that's more girl next door than town whore.

Spandex that's practically painted on? Probably best left to those requiring a single seat on the bus.

Most people are equal opportunity offendees—we don't need to see the inside of anyone's Jack-O-Lantern.
4. Unsexy Tigger

TTYL Tigger, because frightening young children is not what tiggers do best.
5. Unsexy Potato
One rotten potato. Get fresh Potato Head style here.
6. Unsexy C3PO

Sexy C3PO is the worst thing to hit the Star Wars franchise since Jar Jar Binks. Both are liable to drive you to The Dark Side.
7. Sexy Too Early Is Unsexy
And finally, a note to parents: Your little girl has college and all its wild temptations ahead of her. Saying no to premature midriff baring doesn't make you strict, because she's got her whole adult life to make questionable choices.
So which unsexy halloween costume crime are you guilty of committing?
