The best last-minute Halloween costumes on Taobao

We all know you can get anything on Taobao: umbrella hats, giant inflatable shits and even sperm (seriously). It's the ideal place to find the perfect Halloween costume.

If you're on the hunt for some last-minute Halloween inspiration, check out some of these costume ideas.

Inflatable Baymax Costume

Forget breathing (yawn) or giving other people personal space, this is your night, boo. Blow yourself up to Michelin Man proportions and bounce around town dressed as this dude from Big Hero 6.

Price: 492RMB.

Bananas

Go bananas this Halloween in a banana bodysuit – Taobao has a load of them. For the old-school banana look, you can find classic costumes like this one above. 

Price: 43-48RMB

For more sleazy banana-goers, this not-so-subtle peeled-banana suit might be more your thing:

48-108RMB.

IT Mask

It's just a mask, it's just a mask, it's just a mask... also, are those bunny teeth? Celebrate the release of 2017's most iconic horror film and every child's messed up nightmare with this terribly creepy and unsettling clown face.

Price: 388RMB.

Big Baby

Perhaps even creepier than Pennywise is you dressed in baby drag. Your friends always tease about how you suck at everything and honestly, you feel like you might as well be a toddler in terms of having life 'figured out'. Well now you can buy an enormous pacifier and throw a grown up tantrum. Yeah, that'll show 'em!

Price: 227RMB.

Pegasus

Gather all your high school bullies in one place – you're about to prove them wrong in an EPIC way. This 'Unicorn Inflatable Costume for Adult Pegasus Halloween Adult' costume, as the full name emphasises, is for your grown up self and proves that it is possible to fly when you really believe. Go home, h8ers.

Price: 256RMB.

Vampire

The vampire is a classic that always works. It's frightening and makes for a good excuse to go all-out on white foundation, eyeliner and dark lipstick (even for the guys).

Price: 59-148RMB.

Bandai-gaeru

Let's face it: Spirited Away-themed costumes will never fall out of fashion, especially when they're this kawaii.

Price: 376RMB.

Disney Princesses

Only Halloween makes these costumes okay, and we're okay with that.

Price: 52-168RMB.

Qing Imperial Minister ghost

While we hope this picture doesn't do this costume justice, the idea of a Qing-dynasty-imperial-minister-eunuch-ghost is quite good. With some frightening make-up and the right attitude, this costume could be the way forward.

Price: 65-105RMB.

Donald Trump

This costume was (very Donald Trump voice) 'huge' last Halloween and is expected to be again this year. Channel your inner President – misogynistic comments and tiny hands not included. There’s also one of Hilary Clinton too if you think she was the scarier candidate.

Price: 68RMB.

The Doge

Like your memes? Well if the Doge's your thing, why not treat yourself to this mask that doesn’t look that bad – just look at how happy those two are riding the bike. This one is for sale on Tmall. Much scary. Very ghost. Wow.

Price: 68RMB.

Lattice Stage Performance

Maybe you're too cool for the inflatable costumes or you have some sort of 'decent' reputation to uphold. If that's the case, we got you. Groove like your parents might have and embrace the spirit of the '70s with this safe but funky costume.

Price: 158-190RMB.

Bat... man

Want to protect Gotham, but lack the budget that Bruce Wayne is blessed with? Now you can maintain your reputation for crazy in this suit. We wouldn't recommend going for a paraglide off a rooftop in it though.

Price: 238RMB.
