Really surprised about the news from The USA that target really dropped a sensitivity bomb and brought out a Halloween costume that manages to offend some of their own loyal customers!

The controversy is based around a costume of an “Illegal Alien” which clearly makes fun of the Mexican population that do not have green cards. In LA in particular where this is a major problem, coupled with the recession, this is likely to cause tension and likely violence during Halloween.

So just remember when getting dressed up and picking out your costume, be a little sensitive towards your surroundings. No point in having fun at the expense of someone else when there are so many costumes to choose from.

I’m getting very excited about 23rd of October and the brand new SAW VI film.

If your a horror fan then this is a must see, definitely not one for the squeamish though. Ofcourse make sure you check out our SAW Costumes – Think how scary it would be to be sitting in a cinema and suddenly realise that the SAW Puppet was sitting next to you… haha i’m totally going to do that!

This is simply the coolest Transformers Costume we’ve ever come across, i wonder how long it took for the guy to put together.

Awesome Halloween Costume – Watch more Funny Videos

Bumble Bee Transformers Costume - Childs Costume

We have added several new costumes to TheCostumeShop.ie today which reflect the top searches on our site which turned out not to have results:

Racing Driver Costume 44.99 Euro

Cleopatra Costume

 And most importantly the Official Disney Snow White Costume –  Which in my opinion is one of the best costumes around and at 65.99 Euro its great value for money.
