Ready yourselves, guys, gals and ghouls: Halloween is almost here. Of course, one of the most important preparations for this spooky holiday is getting the right costume. You can always fall back on the classic: Frankenstein's monster, sexy nurse, police officer. Or you could try something a little more timely. No, we're not talking about Elsa from Frozen. Stand out from the crowds of witches and warlocks by dressing as one of 2014's most popular memes. From the Apparently Kid to Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda," there's an Internet-approved costume here to suit every taste.
