Over the weekend, everyone attended Halloween parties, and once the volume was turned down on social media, some truly great costumes emerged.
There are, of course, those who use Halloween as an excuse to let their bad taste and complete ignorance really shine. But the innovative costumes outweighed the duds this year. Here are a few of the best we’ve seen online so far.

Basically any costume from our handy HallowMeme guide will suffice, but deep down, aren’t we all unopened Reddit safes?
