Best Meme Halloween Costumes 2022: the AMC Commercial, Scary Movie 2, and More
Celebrities and retail stores aren’t the only ones who show out for Halloween. Every spooky season, strangers inevitably go viral for costumes that cleverly reference pop culture and/or memes. The internet is a hellscape; why not squeeze some enjoyment out of it while we can? So far, we’ve already seen everything from Nicole Kidman’s AMC Theatres commercial to Scary Movie 2’s skeleton scene. And since Halloween falls on a Monday in 2022, we wouldn’t be surprised if the costumes keep going all week on TikTok and — Elon Musk willing — Twitter. During any other time of the year, you might be envious of the peace of friends and family who stay off social media, but right now you get to enjoy costumes that make references they might not understand. It’s like a reward. Feast your eyes on the internet’s favorite Halloween costumes below, and check back as we update this post throughout the week.
