12 Halloween Costumes That Are Perfect For Someone In Kentucky

Halloween, traditionally known as Samhain, is the season for costumes, candies, and things that go bump in the night in Kentucky. Being one of the most haunted southern states, it's only natural we celebrate this holiday in all its costumed glory. Houses are often decorated with faux webs, orange and black lighting, ghosts and other spooky décor. The people of the Bluegrass State vary in their creepy finery, with some thinking the scarier the better, and others going for a more traditional look.

Here are 12 Kentucky costumes that seem right at home:

12. Chicken

It all began with KFC...

11. A balding monk

Monks apparently got scary during the television show Vikings.

10. A witch and her familiar

This would be the costume most approved by the three witches buried at Witch Hill in Alexandria.

9. Corn on the cob

We all feel a little corny some days, at least on Halloween there's an excuse.

8. Classic stuffed animals

Likely, most of us have owned one or two of these adorable stuffed animals, though not stuffed with children.

7. A Wizard of Oz family

They had it wrong all along... it was Kentucky, not Kansas.

6. John Deere tractor and driver

John Deere is loved by the young and old alike. They start young here.

5. Little old women

Even when they are small, they seem to want to grow up fast.

4. Zombies

At first you just see one, maybe two.

3. Zombie families

The next thing you notice is the family that goes zombie together, stays zombie, and wants to add on.

2. Zombie containment worker

Not long after the zombies appear, we begin to see zombie containment workers. They try their best to keep a lid on things.

1. Medical professionals

Dedicated medical professionals are a plus. They even care enough to try and help the zombies... Sadly, that never turns out well for them.

Kentucky is a lot of fun during the Halloween season, offering lots of costume parties, community center events, and costumed festivals.
