WE ALREADY KNOW prankster Jeff Wysaski of the Obvious Plant blog from his excellent work in IKEA earlier this year.

Now he’s turned his attention to Halloween costumes - and placed these gag signs in a costume shop in the US:

They blended in perfectly, which is why the prank works so well

Behold, the next generation of Halloween costumes

plant1 Imgur Imgur

A different take on the “wacky” Halloween getups here
