We’re crazy for costumes in Denver. From the Denver Cruisers and Denver Zombie Crawl to charity 5Ks and geek conventions, we look for every excuse under the unseasonably warm sun to wear them, and .
But are we crazy for costumes about Denver? It’s hard to say, but here are five Denver-inspired Halloween costumes we’d like to see on the streets of the Mile High City this year.
They’re all easy to put together and even easier to wear, so get hoppin’, party kids.
The Respectable Stoner
Giant pot leafs are so 2010. These days, and contribute to political campaigns. Why not accent your oversized bong or improbable spliff with a monocle and tuxedo? Itap legal, after all.
The Undead Rockies
Much like zombie culture in general, the Colorado Rockies have been lumbering along mindlessly for years, consuming brains and killing off their food supply. Itap time to put that off-season Rockies merchandise to good use by ripping it to shreds and dousing it in fake blood.
Sexy (Insert Infectious Disease Here)
Making innocent costumes “sexy” is a treasured, if idiotic, Halloween pastime. It can’t hurt to add our latest viral fears — whatever and wherever they may be — to that growing list. (Note: this costume consists of a Speedo or bikini adorned with the biohazard symbol. Tissue box and surgical mask optional.)
Colorado Craft Beer
Imagine a gang of sober folks stumbling around in sopping-wet craft beer T-shirts, lecturing us about how terrible Coors Light is. The oversaturation of microbrew culture in our state has become downright scary, although for many people, this costume still might take a couple of drinks to sink in.

All the rage a few years ago, the food-truck craze has lately . Celebrate Denver’s role in this national trend by dressing like Federal Boulevard’s famous Meth Taco Truck, or a shuttered lunch truck that didn’t pass public health inspection. Think food ornaments, yellow caution tape and lots of locally sourced grease.
