Halloween is just around the corner, and revelers everywhere will be hitting the shops, looking for that perfect costume: sexy, scary, or both. Some will come up with absolute gold. Others will be stuck wearing the dumbest outfits imaginable.

Rest assured, there are plenty of great costumes out there - and just as many, if not more, terrible ones. From outfits marketed as "sexy" that are anything but, to inappropriate kid's costumes, to costumes that just plain fail, and everything in between, there are all sorts of Halloween "don'ts" on the shelves.

As a general rule, anything that is topical is usually a bad idea, as is anything trying to be edgy. And you don't want your kid caught dead (no pun intended, given the season) in anything he or she will grow up to regret, no matter how cute it might seem at the time.

Beyond that? If you have to put "sexy" on the label, it's probably not all that sexy to begin with, and certainly shouldn't be worn to any but the darkest, most poorly lit of Halloween parties.

So in preparation for the big day, here are the ten absolute dumbest Halloween costumes on the market - that you'll surely want to avoid!

10. Baby Pimp

Who wouldn't want to dress their baby boy up as a pimp for Halloween?

Well, just about anyone sane, for starters. Not only is this costume in poor taste even for adults, it's sending a completely horrid message when you put it on a child - essentially that you're okay raising a kid in an environment where the horrors of poverty, sexual slavery, and abuse are taken as a joke.

Okay, maybe that makes us sound like killjoys, but on top of that, the costume just looks... awkward. Which is a nice way of saying it sucks. There's no way little Billy doesn't lose that hat in under five minutes, it lacks the prerequisite gold chains, and overall, the entire ensemble is just tacky.

Please don't do this to your child! It's just plain dumb.
