Halloween is nearly upon us, and with this time of year comes plenty of weird, creative, potentially offensive costume ideas.

Weird Halloween Costumes 14 IMAGES

So, we rounded up some of 2016's strangest, most ridiculous Halloween costumes (in our opinion) -I don't know if it's because I'm from Australia, where Halloween is a much smaller affair, but I am utterly perplexed by the idea of people dressing up as inanimate objects. But, of course, it is all in good fun.The images and costumes featured were sourced from Costumeish Yandy and Amazon
