LEONAS and diapers and big hair, oh my!

Ditch that run-of-the-mill cheerleader costume and gangster get-up for something a little more au courant this Halloween. From war-mongering despots to self-destructive songstresses to guys in Times Square falling apart in the altogether, our costumes are ripped from the headlines. Try these or come up with some of your own. All it takes is a little creativity – and some pretty big a pumpkins.
