Zombies are boring, vampires suck, and witches are so passé. We decided to go down the less obvious route to give you some much-needed costume inspiration. From Egyptian mummies to the Aussie great white shark, we found 12 Halloween costumes inspired by countries around the world so you can look spooktacular this Halloween. Tah dah!
