This has been such a crazy year all around. With Halloween up in the air this year due to coronavirus, it’s put a damper on the happiness the end of October usually brings. But why not jiu jitsu any impediments Covid causes and use these circumstances to get creative! We’ve put together some silly costume ideas that embrace the chaos, uncertainty and safety recommendations that are necessary during this unparalleled time in our lives.

If you’re looking to spend Halloween indoors here are some perfect costumes for you and your pup that fit the quarantine theme of 2020.

• Pandora and her barks (box) of chaos
• Dress up in a toga or any other ancient greek-like clothing and make a box costume for your pup! You can get a cardboard box, cut it in half and carve a space for your dog’s torso. This theme is fitting for a year full of chaos.

• Tiger King and a Tiger
• If you, like pretty much everyone else, couldn’t look away from the mind bogglingly chaotic documentary that Netflix put out early this year, then consider using Tiger King as inspiration for your Halloween costume. Get a goofy bright button down shirt, bleach a wig and cut it into a mullet to do your best Joe Exotic impression, and for the pièce de résistance, grab a tiger costume for your pup.

• Zoom Meeting Attire
• If you want to bring a bit of humor to your halloween costume consider the official Zoom business attire. That is, formal-wear up top, sweatpants down low.

If you’re looking to get out and about while staying socially distanced, here are some Halloween costume ideas that have naturally built in safety features.

• CDA agent from Monsters Inc.
• Dressing up as a member of the Child Detection Agency and dressing your pup as one of the monsters from Monsters Inc. is perfect for a pair. You get to dress in a hazmat suit and you can costume your pup to be your favorite monster.

• Astronauts taking a space walk.
• In California with all the smoke  it sure does feel like your home is a spaceship and venturing outside is like taking a spacewalk. Why not use that feeling for a Halloween costume idea? You can dress up in a spacesuit and put some alien antenna on your pup.

• Old-school deep sea diver and a puppy kraken.
• The full body suit offers complete body coverage and the opportunity to include a helmet. Also your pup is already halfway to eight legs to successfully fill the role of sea kraken!

• A tightrope walker.
• If you give yourself a 12’ long balance pole, you have a 6 foot measuring device on each side of you at all times. This is perfect for ensuring that you’re staying socially distanced successfully. 

• Bubble boy from the 2001 box office flop “Bubble Boy”
• This one is oddly fitting for the coronavirus pandemic as the movie is based around the concept of self isolation. A successful Bubble Boy costume is perfect for celebrating Halloween during the pandemic because it’s your own personal bubble.
