Trick, treat, or TV? Halloween is one of the most celebrated
holidays on the small screen, and over the years some of our favorite classic television
characters have donned some contest-worthy costumes. With Halloween on the horizon, it’s time to take
a stroll down memory lane to check out some of the best Halloween costumes worn by classic TV characters.
"Roseanne"--
Dan Conner's three “Three Stooges” heads
On the TV sitcom “Roseanne,” Dan Conner proved he was the
biggest stooge of all. In the 1990
episode “Trick or Treat,” Roseanne’s TV hubby couldn’t decide if he wanted to
be Larry, Moe or Curly for Halloween—so he was all three!
"Full
House"-- Danny, Jessie and Joey's 'Three Stooges" Costume
The boys on the sitcom “Full House” teamed up to be the Stooges
as well, but they weren’t joined at the hip. In the 1988 episode “It’s Not My
Job,” Danny dressed up as Larry, Joey
was Curly and dreamy Jesse (John Stamos) was Moe -- with a combo bowl cut and
mullet! Nyuk nyuk nyuk!
"Bewitched"--
Tabitha Stephens' Tiger Costume
This one wins for cutest kids’ costume! It wasn’t a “Safe and Sane Halloween” on
the classic 1960s sitcom, “Bewitched,” when pint-sized witch Tabitha decided
to zap some spooky story book characters to life on Halloween Eve. Still, Tab’s
super cute tiger costume made her the most stylish toddler on Morning Glory
Circle.
"The
Simpsons"-- Bart Simpson's Alex DeLarge Costume
The long-running animated series is known for its annual “Treehouse
of Horrors” episodes. And while most young boys dress up like superheroes or sports
players, in the series’ third Halloween installment back in 1992, the
incessantly 10-year old Bart dressed as Alex DeLarge from the cult film, “A
Clockwork Orange.” Where does this kid come up with this stuff?
"Roseanne"--
Roseanne Conner's Prince Costume
They loved them some Halloween on “Roseanne”—so much so that
in later years the show’s Halloween episodes were compiled on a special
“Halloween Edition” DVD. Roseanne
dressed up as everything from a lumberjack to a gypsy queen, but her personal
best may have been when she glammed up as pop icon Prince in the episode
“Skeleton In the Closet.” Rosie was ready to party like it was 1999— back in 1994!
"Friends"--
Ross's Spud-nik Costume
On the Emmy winning sitcom “Friends,” Ross may have made the "holiday
armadillo" a household name (well, sort of), but his “Spud-nik”
Halloween costume was no small potatoes either. Of course, he had to explain his
unusual costume to his “Friends," (Joey thought he waz dressed as "doody"), explaining, “You remember the Russian satellite,
Sputnik? Well I am a potato, or a spud, and these are my antennae. So Sputnik becomes Spudnik!” OK, so it may not be
the best costume on this list, but you have to give “Friends’” resident geek an
A for originality!
"Modern
Family"-- Phil and Claire Dunphy's Corpse Bride and Groom Costume
And this one may not be a classic yet, but it’s definitely on
its way! The 2010 Pritchett-Dunphy-Delgado-Tucker Halloween festivities featured all of the
show’s characters decked out for Halloween-- and the costumes ranged from a
dorky Spider Man (Mitchell) to a geriatric gargoryle (Jay). But aren’t couples’
costumes always the best? The top
prize here goes to Claire and Phil’s whiter-shade-of
pale corpse bride and groom costume. Now go get some sun, kids!
