🎵 Come one, come all / It’s the PHB Ball!
Where the creatures of the dark / Gather answering the call 🎵
Hello fellow Poptropicans, and welcome back to another Halloween Costume Contest with the PHB! Cue the excitement, and most importantly the theme… The Show Must Go On! 🎪
This year, we’re looking for circus wonders, from trapeze artists to clowns, animals, and characters from carnivals in the media. And there’s one more twist: your costume must include a handheld item! ✍️


☑️ Rules ☑️
- 💙 Create your costumes on Poptropica! You may create as many as you like for the competition. To qualify, it needs to have a handheld item and belong in a circus.
- 📸 Take a screenshot. For the backdrop, we recommend either the character customization screen or the Costumizer window on PoptropiCon. Here’s how you can take a screenshot. Please crop it to focus on your costume.
- ⬆️ Upload your pic to the internet. You’ll need a web link for your pic to share it with us, which you can get by posting it to sites like Imgur, Discord, or Instagram. Then, comment on this post with the link.

- Visit the PHB’s Costumes Look Book for more ideas, including past Halloween contest winners and Pop fashion tips and tricks.

Lune you’re good! Slantedfish, I sent you the picture of her costume on discord.

To be fair, you did say I can make as many as I’d like hehe
I don’t have very many cool items so I had to make do ‘:D The Hand-held item thing was TRICKY, like holy moley I did NOT expect it to be that hard to do that
Yeah so HAPPY HALLOWEEN POPTROPICANS!
I have 3 submissions so far:
“The Skele-Jest” – https://imgur.com/a/skele-jest-BOiapWc

“The Green-est Showwoman” – https://imgur.com/a/green-est-showwoman-7Lra8YO

“Wizardry Gone Wrong” – https://imgur.com/a/wizardry-gone-wrong-zlWjcUZ

How did you make your Poptropican headless?
It was a costume that I got about 2 years ago.
I have another one:
“Time-Warped Warrior” – https://imgur.com/a/time-warped-warrior-gim2QmU
(If you are wondering how he would be in a circus, I figured that he would be of great interest to viewers. This is because he would be fun due to his way of speaking and lack of modern knowledge. At the same time, he could serve to inform visitors of first-hand knowledge of the US Independence, being as he suddenly appeared in 2024 from the 1770s. Don’t worry, I’m sure he’s well paid)
This one’s straight outta Eastman. By the way, how many entries can we submit? I’ve also got a version with a normal cane. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gTdXeDF8DFlPlQ6D5av1zMKx_t9Tdn6t/view?usp=sharing
I honestly feel like the Berry Delicious smoothie works better, for obvious reasons, but I’d be happy to share the cane version if you like.
Uh, how many entries can we submit?
There isn’t a limit for how many entries you can submit according to the post. 🙂
Sounds good too me.
“Carnival of the Aquarium”
https://imgur.com/a/jRBybTl
This might be a stretch, but I made this look based on Saint-Saëns’ ‘Carnival of the animals ~ VII Aquarium’ which sounds so mysterious and magical (to me at least), perfect for Halloween!
If you need a handheld fish item, i’d either recommend Posiden’s trident from Mythology, or the fish from Shark Guy’s ASG outfit.
Thank you, yeah I did see that but I was having some trouble with the ASG machine. I’ve worked out how to do it now, but I already submitted that costume lol.

Sorry about the resubmission, it looks like the first one didn’t work properly. Here it is again: The Magician’s Rabbit!Magician_Rabbit.png (954×1074) (discordapp.com)
That look, looks awesome! 🐇🐇

Here’s my costume. A lion tamer who’s also a lion!
Here’s Binary Bard’s halloween costume of Cyborg from Teen Titans. He’s kind of a clown, so I think this might count. If it doesn’t, that’s fair. I think my other one was better. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XDmZLUFjGB-Gx5bVB2dlT1bK2LCd87wJ/view?usp=sharing
I have some more submissions to add 😀
https://imgur.com/a/pcq215y “Carnival Goer” Played some of those carnival games and won a Shark Boy Plushy.
https://imgur.com/a/Z4oPAoz “Ringmaster Outfit” Just an outfit I liked for a ringmaster lol.
https://imgur.com/a/vaKLRol “Sword Magician” based on those acts you see at a carnival that choose an audience member and throw, throwing knives at them or do other crazy acts with them. Don’t try at home kids!! XD
Wow, I thought Poptropica was dead in the water but if y’all can go on then so can I.
