A Punny Costume Challenge Full of Tricks and Treats for Halloween!

Happy (almost) Halloween, fellow puzzlers!

One of the best things about Halloween is guessing what people’s costumes are. Clever costumes can be great fun, and I’m a huge fan of costumes that only cost a few bucks to put together, because they really let your creativity shine through.

Punny costumes lend themselves to the low-budget costume genre brilliantly. So it’s only appropriate that we celebrate Halloween in the puzzliest way possible — by looking at some punny costumes!

It’s simple. I post a picture, and you guess what the costume is.

For example:

She’s a deviled egg!

I’ve compiled ten costumes for you to figure out. Some are mashups, some are straightforward puns. Let’s see how many you can get!

Halloween has come and gone, but the creativity and the glorious puns remain.

Before we get into the answers to our latest edition of the Punderful Halloween Costume Game, I want to share a few crossword-themed costumes from over the weekend that we were shared online.

The first was this spooky crossword t-shirt, which solvers filled out at the party!

And it featured lots of Halloween vocabulary, like BOO, TRICK, TREAT, and SCARILY, as well as seasonal cluing! Great job!

The second costume was even more elaborate:

They went as common crossword answers! This jumpsuit made of Halloween grids is loaded with crosswordese and familiar vocabulary in picture form. Can you name them all?

So fun to see people getting into the Halloween spirit in a puzzly way. Nicely done, both of you!
