You’ve heard of Christmas in July. Now, we have Halloween in March.

Social distancing demands during the coronavirus pandemic have prompted people to invent a new holiday: Quarantineoween. It can be celebrated, safely, at home on Tuesday.

The idea: Wear a costume and/or bust out your Halloween decorations, take a picture and post it on social media.

The concept shared around the country, and in South Florida, the founder of popular Fort Lauderdale Halloween event Florida Day of the Dead, Jim Hammond, helped get the word out with a public Facebook post.

Much like the more-traditional Oct. 31 counterpart, on March 31, some went for spooky, some went for sexy and some went — well, downright questionable.

Here’s a look at some of the costumes and decorations shared on social media.

Of course, costumes representing the subjects of recently released Netflix docu-series Tiger King have been a big hit.

There were even quarantine-themed skeletons, hoarding toilet paper and all.
