This Halloween, make your costume reflect your ideals. Yes, some of these may be a little dark, but they get the point across. Your friends will wake up November 1st knowing more about your cause.

  1. Death by Space Junk. Spread the news that NASA has dumped so much debris around our Earth that there's a chance it could fall through the atmosphere and kill someone. Make a satellite to wedge into your head, pour on some fake blood, and you're set.
  2. Navy Seal. This costume shows your support for one of the most heroic roles within the military. Plus, you get to paint your face with green and black.
  3. Prude Panda. The low number of these endangered bears make it difficult for them to mate in the wild. Dress as a panda wearing a chastity belt, and people will realize why zoos get so excited when two of the bears actually do it.
  4. Captain Planet. To mimic this 1980's superhero, paint your skin blue and give people green advice.
  5. What Really Happened Last Friday Night. Show Katy Perry the bad things that can happen when you get black out drunk—hold a broken steering wheel in one hand, a newborn baby doll in another. Top the whole thing off with a purple or blue wig (a classic Katy look).
  6. Jay Gatsby. If you're a literary buff, promote reading by dressing up as The Great Gatsby's high-class gangster character.
  7. Olive from Easy A. Dress like Emma Stone's kick-ass character who uses wit and confidence to combat bullying at her high school.
  8. Hole in the Ozone Layer. We know you wanna show off those abs, so dress as a blue sky with white clouds. Then, cut a very noticeable hole around your navel.
  9. Dead Snookie or Situation. Fake tan your body, and tell people, "Death by skin cancer." (It's the deadliest form of the disease!)
  10. ROY-G-BIV. You need six geeky friends who love science education to help you dress up as this abbreviation for colors of the light spectrum&mdash:Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.
  11. Mutated Animal from Toxic Waste. Have a field day with this one. Be a pig with two snouts, a dog with three heads, whatever your gruesome mind can think up.
