Halloween and sexy costumes are inseparable, although sometimes the sexy costumes go too far and become nightmare fuel. Several “sexy” costume ideas were suggested by Twitter users over the past week, and we’ve collected our favorites.
It started with a tweet posted by Summer Ray last week, and over the ensuing week Twitter users haven’t been slacking at offering “sexy” costume ideas in response to this:
Your Halloween costume is ‘sexy’ + your biggest fear.

Despite the picture up above, surprisingly few people were recommending any sexy clowns, even though Pennywise has got the moves. Most of the suggestions varied from the mundane to the incredibly disturbing, from “Sexy Mistaking Raisins For Chocolate Chips In A Cookie” to “Sexy Getting Stabbed In The Neck With A Needle Filled With Mystery Drugs” to “Sexy Dawning Realization That Nothing Will Ever Be Okay.”
Those seem like unexpected fears that we can now all share. Some of the other “sexy” fears were also unexpected:

Sexy all the nascar drivers see a sign with an arrow that says “race track this way” but it’s really a fake sign with the arrow pointing the opposite direction that the enemy put up with intent to confuse and beguile, tricking the drivers, and all of them become lost forever https://t.co/wfJJu4sU23

Just don’t go too far with any of these costume ideas this Halloween. Someone might get upset:
