People Are Faking Stolen Amazon Packages For Absurdly Niche Halloween Inspo, And It’s Art – From Kelly Clarkson And Molly The Singing Bird To Anna Wintour At Harry Styles’ Gig
by Becca Monaghan · BuzzFeedLove 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:
