Halloween is coming up in just a few days, and people turn to their favorite celebrities for costume ideas. Last year's costumes proved that they're not all gold.

Last year, we saw some celebs going for a Halloween costume no-no. We saw Julianne Hough use blackface as her "Orange is the New Black" costume, and saw Chris Brown dress up as a terrorist. Yes, it’s Halloween, the one day of the year that allows us to dress up crazier than usual, but these are not okay, celebrity or not. We haven't seen crazy celebrity Halloween constumes yet, but that doesn't mean the craziness isn't in the average person's hands. 

Blackface continues to be a trend this year, but with a twist. Early Halloween party photos show people dressing up in poor taste.

Ray Rice, the Baltimore Ravens runner back who was suspended from the NFL after a video was released of him beating his current wife--and it seems to be a popular choice this year. Along with Rice, we have seen football player Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings get charged with child abuse. His costume, like the Ray Rice costume, consists of wearing a jersey and painting the face black. 

We see the Ray Rice costume as a purple or black jersey with Rice’s name and jersey number (#27). Accompanying the costume is a doll, which has been seen dragged on the floor. The worst part about it all? We see children dressing up in this costume too, carrying a smaller doll! Adults and children dressing up as one of the two NFL players is equally bad, mostly becaue it's the adults who are probably encouraging or allowing their children to dress this way. Dressling provocatively is one thing, but dressing up as someone, or something offensive is another. 

The Adrian Peterson costume is a purple #28 jersey with a tree branch and baby doll. In a way (a sick way) it’s creative, but the idea is better left as a thought than actually pursuing it. Walking around pretending to be a child abuser is not okay.

Continuing on with the offensiveness: Ebola sure hit 2014 with a bang, so naturally, people are dressing up in Ebola containment suits.

For women, there's the "Sexy Ebola Nurse" costume. 

With Ebola as an ongoing issue in the U.S., this is no joke. Though the CDC is working hard to contain the issue, it’s not over. People who contracted the disease are either treated or in the process of being treated. They experience a fever and other symptoms that are nothing to be made fun of. And yet, the costume is one of the most popular this year. Interviewees on CNN, whether he/she is an “expert source” or a “man on the street,” say that the fear and “hysteria” as Obama put it, is driving people crazy. Dressing up as an Ebola infected person doesn’t help with the ongoing fear and paranoia. 

This isn't to say that dressing crazy isn't permissable for Halloween. There are plenty of costumes out there that are out there and not offensive—take Lucy Hale dressed in all blue as the Twitter bird. She looks crazy, but no one is making fun of any diseases or abuse cases.
