The Coolest Costumes This Year: Part I

Each year there are movie and TV costumes from pretty much any movie that was made in the twelve months prior. It's not so much about quality as it's about marketing. They begin making the costumes for movies they presume will be successful before said film is ever released.

Kinda make you wonder what Hollywood is really thinking. Are they trying to astonish me with spectacular stories and endearing characters? Or are they just trying to convince me to buy what they're selling? Real puzzler there!

Nevertheless, despite their less than stellar motives, millions of Americans end up dressed up as the protagonists from some big movie of the summer whose audience went into the theater normal, only to exit looking like neglected stroke victims. Be it hellboy, van helsing or stuart little just to name a few. They really do make the costumes expecting Americans most of all to lap it up like a starving cat will eventually dine on its dead owner.

So keep in mind when searching for what to wear this year keep in mind that the number one movies in the country change every Friday. when they release the newest bucket of vomit they expect we'll, like the frail nestling we are gladly gulp down.

Oh, who am I kidding. That's exactly what we'll do. The majority of Americans anyway. They'll just pick whatever they think is the least awful movie currently playing. Cause what else are they going to do on Friday night?

Read a book?

At any rate, the five coolest costumes ever... so far.

Baby Yoda
Spongebob Squarepants (sadly discontinued)
Turtle
Malice in Wonderland
and
Demented Straitjacket mental patient

Why? Because I say so. Be one of them or else don't bother. I won't give you any candy.
