Halloween is just around the corner, and you know what that means. Pretty soon, your social media feeds will be clogged with adorable pics of dressed-up kiddos, even cuter pet ensembles, so-called “sexy” costumes that are just plain wrong and even a few punny costumes for the more irreverent partiers among us. And let’s not forget the annual parade of seriously offensive costume choices that always miss the mark.
Is this costume a crime? https://t.co/Z3bn5UozF6

Despite our best intentions, everyone has a costume fail (or two!) they’d rather forget—but not if Jimmy Fallon has anything to say about it.
If you’re a fan of late-night TV, you’re probably familiar with Fallon’s recurring “Hashtags” segment. Here’s how it works: The Tonight Show host asks his Twitter followers to share their stories related to a particular hashtag. Fallon then reads some of the funniest responses on his show, which airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. Eastern on NBC.
Previous hashtags have included #WeddingFail, #HowIGotFired, #DadQuotes and #MyBadLuck.
On Monday, Fallon called on Twitter to share their worst Halloween costumes with the hashtag #MyWorstCostume.
It’s Hashtags time! Describe your biggest Halloween costume fail and tag it with #MyWorstCostume. Could be on the show!

When I was in 4th grade, I wore this to a kids Halloween party. One girl cried so much that my parents put a plastic bag over his head. #MyWorstCostume pic.twitter.com/NZpeHCpYMe

My freshman year of college I saw an ad for a costume contest on campus
I didn't know until I arrived that it was a Japanese Anime themed contest, and I showed up dressed as a ceiling fan. #MyWorstCostume pic.twitter.com/WYYCfOj78f— Erin (@etes_97) October 21, 2019
