18 Bizarre Homemade Halloween Costumes From Etsy [PICTURES]
Etsy, in case you don't know, is basically the craft fair/flea market of the internet. Millions of people come together to sell the unique things they've handcrafted to those wishing to have something unique in their lives. And like most craft fair/flea markets, it's got a lot of cool stuff. Also, a lot of weird items. (And a ton of tutus, for some reason.)
So we went looking through Etsy for the best of the worst in Halloween costumes, since it's that time of the year. And before you ask, yes, every single thing you're about to see is up for sale. You can actually buy these costumes! Why you'd want to, though, is another topic entirely.

'Queen O' Da Sea' Costume
Seller: Avante GarbWe're not sure what is going on in this one. (Though we do appreciate the pun.) Is it supposed to be a comment on how our oceans are polluted? It's definitely polluting our eyes.

'Drag' Costume
Seller: Great Deals For YouSince when is the outfit that Flo, the “Kiss my grits!” waitress from 'Alice' wore considered drag? You want $50 for this? It doesn't even come with enormous fake boobs!

'Hello Kitty' Pirate Costume
Seller: Countess LenoreWe'll give this seller this: they definitely put in the effort, unlike some of the slackers on here. And, if you're worried about being seen at night, well, that's not going to be much of a problem with this eyesore.

'Seuss-Inspired' Prosthetic Nose
Seller: Kendra JohnsonWe would not wear it on our face, not even if you hit us with a mace.

'Pink Floyd — The Wall' Child Costume
Seller: DaehkcufThe seller brags that nobody makes this costume. That's because no kid wants to dress up as one of the creepy masked children in the meat grinder scene from the trippy 1982 Pink Floyd film 'The Wall.'

Frida Kahlo Costume
Seller: PrettyThings55This'll be great for the gallery opening she's attending later. Oh, wait, no it won't. Cause she's a child.

Crocheted Batman Mask

'Alien Woman' Costume
Seller: Avante GarbWe guess she's supposed to be some kind of space cowboy. Or possibly a gangster of love? Definitely not Maurice. Honestly, we give up.
