What Halloween costume would you never wear?

Cory Wade Hindorff
model | Queen Village
"I would never wear blackface. It wouldn’t offend me but it could be offensive to others. I saw it at Halloween last year and was worried how others might take it. Even if it wasn’t meant to be racial, people are very sensitive."


Octavio Petrucelli

"I’d never be an Ebola nurse with protective gear. That wouldn’t be funny at all. It hits too close to home. Ebola is a serious issue. I’m concerned it will have devastating effects throughout the world."


Devin Reaves
community-outreach coordinator | Spruce Hill
"I’d never impersonate James Holme, the guy with orange hair who massacred folks in a Colorado movie theater. You don’t want to glamorize those people. It’s bad enough the news media sensationalizes mass murder and turns the shooters into pop-culture icons. I would definitely draw the line at that."


Krystal Roberts
bartender | Doylestown
"Nothing that shows too much skin. I’d never wear a Playboy Bunny costume, with half of my butt exposed. It’s Halloween, not a striptease. Save it for the bedroom. Nudity is just not my cup of tea."
