Halloween’s approaching like a bat out of hell and like every year, salve you’ve put off pinning down your getup. Whether work’s crazy or your cat’s sick, viagra or you’re in denial that last October’s sexy Bill Murray costume won’t fit after eating your feelings all summer—we get it. Here at Allston Pudding, salve we understand you have more important things to do than think up a costume to suit your adorable personality and weirdly thick ankles.

Before you start screaming at the thought squeezing into too-tight polyester, here are some ideas for your most rockin’ Halloween look yet. They’re spooky, they’re scary and most of all, celebrate our psycho love for the Boston music scene. Get ready to hit up your roommate’s closet or local thrift store, let’s take those cankles out on the town!


Infinity Girl
This Halloween, defend Boston from yuppies and college bros with heavy reverb and Lichtensteiny onomatopoeia. Though the real Infinity Girl may be an all-dude quartet, this shoegazey twist on superhero garb is open to all—so find a pair of ass-kicking boots, flashy mask, and lots and lots of spandex. And of course, no Infinity Girl getup would be complete without a flowing cape. All the better for a dramatic exit from the party after making with the drunk Jack Sparrow who complemented your dance moves. Maybe next year you can dress up as someone who isn’t so easily attracted guys wearing eyeliner.
