Love it or loathe it, Halloween is just around the corner – and in recent years, it’s become a pop culture phenomenon where traditional costumes have taken a back seat to the obscure, the niche, and the chronically online.

In other words, the less sense it makes to an offline person, the better – and we’re here for it.

Think dressing up as a bush from Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, or Channing Tatum’s rumoured burner account ( rumours he’s since poured cold water on ).

Now, with the occasion fast approaching, people are pulling out all the stops, sharing their weird but delightfully wonderful costume ideas in a new trend that involves pretending their Amazon packages were stolen.

Here are some of our favourites so far:
