Cincinnati has plenty of weirdness that’s begging to become the most niche Halloween costumes ever. So we thought: What happens when you ask AI to take that weirdness — be it the look of a Cincinnati chili 3-Way or the “Hug Me, Jesus” statue — and plan it out as a Halloween costume? And, well, the results are just as funny, bizarre and somewhat horrifying as you would expect. From a flying pig with two heads to a Frisch’s Big Boy who’s giving off Slappy the Dummy vibes, keep scrolling to see what AI thinks your Cincinnati-themed Halloween costume should look like.
