The top October 2014 bizarre ideas include the comical, the outrageous and some real head-scratchers. Although most of these creations were likely not created with Halloween in mind, some of these ideas would make fantastically wacky costumes, eats and decor for the holiday.
If you're looking to get buff quick, Flex Design's muscle suit will be highly appealing to those who typically steer clear of the gym.
Some of the most unusual treats include the monstrous desserts made by Christine McConnell, Lollyphile's beer-flavored lollipops, and if you're unsure of what to do with all of those wrappers post Trick-or-Treating, you could always stitch together the junk food bags and create a knapsack for yourself as many Korean students are doing.
