Jo Pincushion — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:19:56 +0000

Pretty clearly, the best part of Halloween is that you dress up in a fun costume and walk around acquiring delicious candy. Who doesn't love that? We're really excited to see all the trick-or-treaters in their best outfits this year. We've got our bags of candy ready, and we're giving away prizes for the best costumes we see.

This trick-or-treater is terrible, and he thinks he's still entitled to some of our sweet chocolate treats? Ha! Well, we're not going to take it this year. Here are 10 things to say to trick-or-treaters without a costume.

It's Halloween! That can only mean two things: 1) Scary things that go bump in the night, and 2) girls wearing senselessly provocative outfits. Oh yes, girls in so-called sexy costumes have become as much a Halloween tradition as pumpkin carving.

Now, we're not complaining that there are scantily clad women during the Halloween season. Not at all. The thing is, some of the costumes are trying just a little too hard. You know, when you look at the costume and think to yourself, "I didn't think it was possible to sexy up Optimus Prime." Well, you can! Here are 10 that really do exist:
