Over the past few decades, we all know the feeling of showing up to a Halloween party, and there being someone else in the same costume. So what are the costumes that are basic, overrated, and you see almost every year?

S*xy vampire/policeman/-woman/cat/anything - mostly those costumes are boring & uncreative. Cut away a little something here & there. Wear something really thight/short. Etc ... done

The ones that are literally titles “s*xy maid” “s*xy fireman” and such. If you wanna wear something a little shorter than normal that’s fine, but there are children out so pls don’t dress like a “s*xy zombie” around 3 year olds.

Honestly the only ones I don't like are anti Halloween costumes. Seasonal Halloween shirts saying "I hate Halloween" are bad; you don't wanna dress up or relatively cheap/fast costumes is fine.
Not to be confused with Halloween Sucks tshirts with vampire bat themes.

The Joker. Bonus points since that character seems to attract all the worst kinds of people.

Nothing wrong with the classics -- the ghost, the witch, the vampire, the demon, the pirate, and so on. It's nice when people try to spiff up those costumes to make them a little more original. I think little kids should be allowed to wear what makes them happy -- princess, Spiderman, ninja turtle, tiger, ballet dancer, whatever, even if they are cliched. But adults need to be more creative: don't be the zombie, be the maggot eating the zombie; instead of the quarterback, be the football; instead of Amelia Earhart, be her Lockheed 5B Vega; instead of Thomas Jefferson, be Monticello. It will take a bit more work, but you'll have a better chance of winning the costume contest.

Not wearing a costume and calling yourself a serial killer. Just get a t-shirt that says "Lazy and Thoughtless".

Maybe not basic or overrated, but I'm not a big fan of the princess halloween costume. They're too cutesy and there's no horror or haunting to them. Want to be a princess? Get some fake blood and some makeup and become an executed ghost princess looking for revenge. Add a bit of pizzazz. But if it makes you happy, then there's worse things than a more boring costume

Any Twilight character. Oh, what’s that? You’re a sparkly, fanged narcissist who’s looking for a sugar baby young enough to be your granddaughter? Same vibe as if you used some white hairspray and threw on a smoking jacket pal.

Thing 1 and 2. Great for couple’s costumes, no doubt. But there are little kids wearing it because their parents made them even though the kids wearing it have never read the book it’s from

Michael Myers/Jason Voorhees. But for additional oomph, blare the 2018 remixed Halloween theme on your phone as part of the costume (I know Jason had a different theme but Halloween Kills 2018 is still the best) XP
