Since when did a mental health patient's outfit (whatever that is) become a traditional Halloween costume. Incredible how stupid the buyers are in these stores at times.

Oh come on

Asda outfit looks ok for Halloween, just the wording is wrong..should have simply called It a "Mad axeman outfit"

In Halloween/Horror films, some of them use characters that have escaped from mental wards. Are we to ban these films next for depicting people with mental health problems in a bad light? Stan Collymore complains about anything and everything. Maybe they should replace them with a dogging costume, or maybe a wife/girlfriend beater one.

I should imagine this will help push the prices up on ebay and other sites. :idc:

Yes
but OK for adults


Not OK for 8 year olds.

Ammi 26-09-2013 01:35 PM

..they were right to remove them, they're fairly rubbish costumes for around £20....

Don't really think they had to name it mental patient, they could have called it something else. That's not funny but the daily mail comments are

Isn't the second one a Hannibal Lector costume?
