Get Ready To Storm Area 51 With This Amazing DIY Halloween Costume
September 20, 2019 by Emily Belfiore
Ready to storm Area 51, fam? Alien memes filled our social media timelines this year thanks to all of the Area 51 memes, which makes us think that tons of alien believers are going to try their hand at a DIY Area 51 Halloween costume this year. We’re definitely going to have a hard time deciding which meme to be for Halloween; it’s between an Area 51 alien costume, a VSCO Girl costume, or a FaceApp Challenge costume, for sure.
Interest in the top-secret government facility peaked when a Facebook group called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All Of Us” was created over the summer, inviting attendees to fly out to Lincoln Country, Nevada, and meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction. The event got over 2 million RSVPs and was slated to happen on Sept. 20. While no “raid” happened, the Facebook group sparked several social media that poked fun at the attendees that RSVPed, indulged Area 51-alien conspiracy theorists, and became a pop culture phenomenon.

People actually did, however, show up to Alienstock, a music festival in Rachel, Nevada, meant to celebrate the viral Facebook group. Attendees began setting up camp at a small campsite near Little A’Le’Inn on Sept. 19 and Mashable reports that there were about 500 campers at the campsite.
