Illinois
Ferris Bueller
Even though the state in general is probably more of a Cameron (read: inferiority complex), this is the one day you can expertly pretend to be the guy who expertly pretended to be the sausage king of Chicago. Danke Schoen.
Indiana
Leslie Knope
Can you believe that Indiana’s most beloved citizen isn’t real? If you’ve ever actually been to Indiana, you probably can.
Iowa
Loose meat sandwich
Iowa’s only culinary contribution to the world (which is actually just a sloppy joe without ketchup, if we are being real) makes an ideal costume, and late night, post-bar snack. Both requisite parts of the Halloween experience. And being in Iowa.
Kansas
The Wicked Witch of the West
So, the Wicked Witch — NOT Dorothy — was the real hero in The Wizard of Oz, and the costume Kansas residents deserve. Think about it: Wouldn’t you be a little miffed if some hotshot, gingham-wearing, poppy-sniffin’ teenager crushed your sister with a house, stole her shoes, then ran off with a gang of monsters? Same.
