It seems that we Cadenza reporters often write about pop-culture-inspired Halloween costumes that we think would be awesome. We’re tired of the positive attention we’ve brought to some looks, so here are five costumes we absolutely do not want to see as the end of the month approaches.

5. The cast of “Jersey Shore”

It’s too late in the year to appropriately get a fake tan (if it’s ever appropriate, anyway), and we don’t want you spending a ton of money on enough makeup to turn your body carrot-colored. Stay away from the guido look until summer.

4. Rachel Berry from “Glee”

You think it will be easy to dress as Rachel, as you’ll just need to find a headband and some ugly sweater and tights. We think you should save both your dignity and the sweater for the ubiquitous Christmas sweater party.

3. Any “Harry Potter” character

The last book came out in 2007, and the final movie has been out of theaters for a few weeks now. The “Harry Potter” craze, for the time being, should be over. It’s too early for nostalgia, and it’s not like Pottermore is even available for those without beta access.

2. Lady Gaga

With the amount of candy being given out on Halloween, there’s enough gross food out there to drive any kid crazy. Some things that won’t help the problem: a dress made out of meat or some kid walking around in an egg. Don’t turn to Gaga for inspiration.

1. Edward and the rest of the Cullen vampires

There’s one prop we all agreed we really, really don’t want to see this Halloween, and it is body glitter! First of all, vampires are supposed to die in sunlight. They wouldn’t be able to sparkle. Second, it’s dark when you trick or treat, anyway, so the point should be moot. If you going for the vampire look, either attempt the classic Dracula outfit or stick with other pop culture demons.
