THE MOST PLAYED-OUT HALLOWEEN COSTUME IS… “SEXY” ANYTHING 🎃

Published October 6, 2026

Bad news if you were planning to be a Sexy Traffic Cone this Halloween.

A new survey asked people which Halloween costumes desperately need to be retired, and the number-one answer was:

The sexy version of… literally anything.

29% say we've had enough of Sexy Nurses, Sexy Cops, Sexy Cats, Sexy Witches...

At this point, I'm waiting for Sexy Costco Executive Member.

Coming in second: Pirates, with 25%.

Apparently we've finally reached our national limit of drunk men yelling “ARRRR!” at house parties.

And 22% want The Joker retired.

Other costumes people are sick of include:

Cowboys and cowgirls, Harley Quinn, hippies, Minions, mimes and Where's Waldo.

Although if you're over 40, the scariest costume is probably just:

“Woman who sneezed without crossing her legs.”

Adults may also be losing interest in costumes altogether. Only 24% say they're planning to dress up this year, even though 68% believe you're never too old for Halloween.

And I agree.

You're never too old to dress up.

You're just old enough to realize that Sexy Nurse costume doesn't come with enough lower-back support.
