Escaping animals in a zoo is a huge problem to worry about.

I know Halloween is a long time from now, but if you’re like me, you like thinking ahead.

If you’re also like me, you think that Party City is the one-stop shop for all your costume needs. At least, that’s what I thought as a kid and before I saw BuyCostumes.com

In fact, if you go to the Party City website right now, you’re not gonna find a Halloween costumes section. Instead, you have to search for ‘halloween’ where you’ll be taken to a search page that contains broken images. Here’s what it looked like in my browser:

Party City\'s Halloween Costumes

BuyCostumes.com is a lot better because they sell Halloween costumes all year round. They have a lot of costumes, too. Adding up the adult and kids’ costumes, the number comes out to be 4,794. A quick browse through their selection brings up several interesting results. For example, the Iron Man costume on their home page reminds me a lot of the upcoming disaster movie Disaster Movie. I also found a few costumes that I might get this Halloween like the beer pong table costume and the ollie ostrich illusion costume that I saw at a party. The riding on horse illusion and the riding the bull illusion costumes are pretty similar as well.

BuyCostumes.com also has a 110% price guarantee that ensures that you’re getting the best deal anywhere. Here’s their official word regarding this:

BuyCostumes.com is committed to offering you the best products at the best prices anywhere on the web. If you find a lower price on another US website after purchasing from BuyCostumes.com within 14 days, we’ll refund you 110% of the difference, guaranteed.

Their prices also seem to be pretty reasonable (around $20 - $50), but I was surprised when I chose to sort by highest prices first. It turns out that their most expensive costume is Simian, the super gorilla. But then again, all of their expensive items seem to be mascot costumes, so unless you own a school, I’d go with the ones lower than $100, or get the awesome looking Master Chief costume that’s on sale for $800.

Some guy decided to prank his friend with a really freaky bunny costume.

Personally, I thought that her reaction didn’t make the video funny, but I thought the costume was really scary looking.

japanese narrow high jumpA Japanese television show tests the ability of its contestants to jump through an increasingly narrow high jump.

Of course, no good high jump competition is good without insect costumes.
