During Halloween, the characters dress up in costumes, in which they often go trick or treating. Many of these costumes are icons or celebrities from the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, leaving most of the other characters unable to identify who a particular character is supposed to be dressed as.
This is put quite frankly by The King of Town in Halloween Potion-ma-jig, in which he says, "I wish you'd dress up as something I could recognize! Pop culture... mumble grumble!"
Occurrences
Sketchbook (museum)
- The last image offered ten dollars to anyone who can identify all of the costumes. They have all since been identified.
Homestarloween Party
- Homestar thought Strong Bad was the Chiquita Banana Lady, when Strong Bad was really Carmen Miranda (although the Chiquita Banana Lady's appearance was intentionally based on Miranda's).
The House That Gave Sucky Treats
- Homestar thought that Strong Bad was the Spanish Inquisition, and it is implied that he thought Strong Bad was Cab Calloway and Strong Bad Wearing a Yellow Turtleneck, when Strong Bad was really Carmen Sandiego.
Pumpkin Carve-nival
- Marzipan doesn't know that The King of Town is Mario from the long-running, well-known video game series by Nintendo. This could be so because she insists that she doesn't play video games, as said in the same toon.
- Strong Bad, who was in a Homestar Runner costume, said that he thought The Goblin (in a Strong Bad costume) was the Green Hornet. Strong Bad then thought that The Goblin was a Witches' Brew, while he was actually The Bee.
- Homestar thought The Cheat was Witches' Brew when The Cheat was Russell.
3 Times Halloween Funjob
- Homestar thought Strong Bad was El Debarge, Bubs thought he was Miami Sound Machine, Coach Z thought he was Terence Trent D'Arby, and he himself almost said that he was Carmen Miranda again, while he was actually Ozone from Breakin'.
- Homestar thought Coach Z was Wesley Snakes, when in fact he was Kool Moe Dee from The Treacherous Three.
- Homestar couldn't identify what Bubs's costume was, calling it a "dirty man outfit", when Bubs was dressed as Mel Sharples, the owner of Mel's Diner in the movie Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and the TV show it spawned, Alice. Vic Tayback played the role.
Halloween Fairstival
- Strong Bad asked Bubs, "So, Bubs, your approach this year was to ensure that absolutely no one recognized your costume?" Bubs was dressed as One of the 3 Most Important People in the World, from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
- Homestar was confused about his own costume. He thought that he was some sort of a golf cart. He was actually Carl Spackler from Caddyshack.
- Homestar thought The Cheat was a pile of leaves. The Cheat was actually Sigmund, from Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.
- Coach Z thought that Pom Pom was Big Boi from OutKast. Pom Pom was actually Big Boy, the mascot for the restaurant chain "Bob's Big Boy".
Halloween Potion-ma-jig
- Homestar, seeing Strong Sad's Devo member costume, comments on it, saying, "Nice fire hydrant costume."
- Homestar thought that Strong Bad was Blanche from The Golden Girls. Bubs thought that he was Phyllis Diller. Coach Z thought he was supposed to be his hot mom. The King of Town couldn't recognize his costume at all. Strong Bad was dressed as Jambi the genie, from Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
- Homestar also thought that Bubs was Lando Calrissian. He was actually the master of disaster, Apollo Creed from Rocky and Rocky II.
- Strong Bad thought that Pom Pom's costume, which was of Walter Sobchak from The Big Lebowski, was of "every guy at a truck stop."
Happy Hallow-day
- Homestar remarked to Marzipan that he likes her "I have a caterpillar crawling across my forehead" costume. Marzipan was dressed up as Frida Kahlo.
- When Homestar sees Strong Bad's Father Guido Sarducci costume, he thinks that it is an evil Carmen Sandiego costume. Incidentally, Strong Bad did dress up as Carmen Sandiego five years earlier.
- Strong Bad teases Strong Sad asking him if his costume was Strong Sad at his 20-year high school reunion. Strong Sad was actually Tony Clifton.
