With Halloween around the corner, Jimmy Fallon reads hilarious tweets with the hashtag #HalloweenFail. Every one of these extremely funny stories is true, because you can’t make this stuff up. We can take home some lessons to help us prepare for the big day, without spoiling the stories.
1. Do your research before you modify any body part for your costume.
2. If you get arrested, it’s very cool to get arrested while very much resembling an actor who also has a famous mug shot.
3. Don’t mix up the blue M&M’s with Viagra.
4. When dressing in ‘vintage’ gear, prepare to bring a tear to the eye of someone who lived in that era, and for whom it was ‘just yesterday!’ Yes, we wore enormous shoulder pads, pink mohawks and Doc Marten boots with lace tights ala Cindy Lauper…And some still do. Why on earth would the 80’s inspire a costume for you?
5. If your costume melts in the rain, be prepared for disaster – especially if you’re wearing nothing underneath!
