4. Dino kids and their trainer
These parents are doing Halloween right. They dressed their kids up as dinosaurs, made their wagon into a cart, and dressed dad up as a trainer. All these elements create the unmistakable look of Jurassic Park.
5. Instagram vs. Reality
Shout out to this boyfriend for being up for this embarrassing couples costume. Everyone knows that what we see isn’t always truth so this girl went as what we strive for, while her man is closer to what is the truth.
6. Beauty and the Beast
This adorable little girl didn’t want to leave her dog out of the fun. With her dressed up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast, her dog made the perfect Beast. He didn’t need much of a costume with all the hair, but the little girl didn’t spare any details.
7. Joker (and Batman)
These Jokers nailed their costumes based on the latest movie. But look a little closer and you see the disappointing look from their very own, 4 legged Batman behind them. The perfect addition to this couple’s costume.
8. Medusa
This Reddit user claimed this was her first homemade costume, but the perfection makes us think differently. Her foam snake hair, contacts, and make up are all perfect elements that make this costume one of the best.
9. Mermaid
Another disability looked at as an opportunity. This woman decided to be a mermaid for Halloween not only because she always wanted to, but also because she figured if mermaids were real, they would probably use wheelchairs on land like her. Her homemade costume is perfect.

11. Toothless
This pet owner had the perfect idea for their black cat. Everyone’s favorite dragon from How to Train your Dragon is purrr-fectly done by this feline. He already had the black hair and green eyes, all they had to do was add wings and they have a dragon.
12. Karen and her non-vaccinated child
Here’s a scary costume that may take a little bit of thinking at first glance. This girl thought the scariest costume would be a parent walking around with a skeleton she labels as a un-vaccinated child. Clearly making a statement, and getting people talking about current issues.
13. Mandrake
This is clearly the child of some serious Harry Potter fans. One minor character from the books and movies is the mandrake plants that look like people or children when they are pulled. These parents dressed their baby as a plant, and with a pot as a prop, nailed this halloween costume.
14. Pants
Just pants. Thats all this little boy wanted to be for Halloween. His parents lucked out in terms of easy and hand made. With a couple holes cut in dad’s pants, he was ready to go!
15. Jewbaca
Everyone loves a combination costume. This one combines the popular Star Wars character Chewbaca with a rabbi. Is it politically correct, maybe not, but if it brings a laugh at the party, it can be overlooked this one time.
16. Skeleton
This costume is more than one woman’s exceptional face painting skills. She was diagnosed with cancer and decided to embrace the result of losing her hair thanks to her chemo treatments. Turns out, hair would have just held this amazing paint job back.
17. Zero from Nightmare Before Christmas
This girl is winning Halloween with her creativity on this costume. One of the most underrated characters from everyones favorite movie is Zero the dog from Nightmare Before Christmas. To make the floating ghost dog she made a whole apparatus to attach to her backpack, while she wore a headlamp to illuminate him.

22. Morton Salt
People dress up as their favorite movie, TV, and cartoon characters, but have you ever seen someone dress up like the mascot or character on a box of food? This guy nailed his costume, looking like the girl from the Morton salt packages. If he didn’t carry a container of salt with him, his costume may have been one to make you think.
23. Mike Pence
Steve Martin already slightly resembles Vice President Mike Pence, so this probably doesn’t look like much of a costume. But if you were watching the VP debate and look closely at this photo, you’ll see the fly in his hair is actually the costume.
24. Game of Thrones Writer
Clearly this is a disgruntled Game of Thrones fan. His t-shirt reads “I am dressed up as a Game of Thrones writer. You can tell due to the complete lack of effort I put into finishing this costume”. This simple yet creative costume is perfect for the lazy one of the group that doesn’t feel like dressing up.
25. Luke Skywalker and Yoda
Wildlife enthusiast Robert Irwin showed of his nerdy side with his Luke Kywalker costume this Halloween. Let’s be honest though, his pug dressed as Yoda is what makes this costume perfect. The son of crocodile wrangler Steve Irwin couldn’t have a costume without at least one animal involved.
26. Pennywise the clown
This terrifying Pennywise costume from the movie It. This youngster is only 5 and is just as scary as the original clown from the movie. The detail in this costume is incredible, right down to the red balloon.
27. Part skeleton
This amputee took advantage of his disability and put a skeleton arm where his real one should be. Theres nothing like confusing all of the trick or treaters that come to the door looking for candy.

30. Toadbert the Wizard
We can’t leave out the pets! This owner dressed up his toad, appropriately named Toadbert, as a wizard. Not every one loves toads, but you have to admit he’s pretty cute in his hat and cloak.
31. Fortune Teller
This woman has an amazing fortune teller costume. But take a closer look at her crystal ball. Thats actually a baby bump. She had the perfect idea to incorporate her belly into her costume for Halloween and it is working perfectly!
32. A cat
A cat is a popular Halloween costume every year. It’s pretty easy and simple to do. This man took it to the next level and painted his face to match the pattern on his cats face. The two are practically twins!
33. Sewing kit
Every grandma out there has that iconic butter cookie tin, but its never filled with cookies. Usually its filled with some sort of sewing material like thread and needles, tape measures, and patches. This totally original idea for a costume is exactly that and this woman pulls it off perfectly.
34. Pirate
This woman dressed up as the classic pirate, but take a closer look. She’s actually an amputee missing her leg. “Everyone’s been making the same pirate joke since I lost my leg, so I said screw it. Happy Halloween.”
35. Oogie Boogie
This homemade Oogie Boogie costume looks like the character stepped right out of the movie. The detail and accuracy is incredible. Whatever costume contest this person enters will win for sure.

37. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Not only did this woman nail the look of Snow White, but she also enlisted the help of her dogs to complete the costume. All seven dwarves are represented by her seven dogs. I’m sure all those dogs are expecting treats!

Everyone remembers the phase where Thor let himself go in the Avengers. This pregnant woman had the best idea to recreate the look for Halloween, and honestly, she nailed it. Not to mention this is probably the most comfortable costume ever.
39. Freddy Mercury Krueger
Nothing beats a good combination costume. This girl got creative by combining Queen front man Freddie Mercury with horror icon Freddy Krueger and the result is perfect.

It’s amazing the tricks you can do with makeup. If you know what you’re doing, you can completely transform your face. Thats exactly what this girl did to transform herself into the Corpse Bride and it came out exactly like the movie.
41. The Other Mother
Another trick of makeup gives this artist buttons for eyes and a narrow face, making her look exactly like the Other Mother from the movie Coraline. This movie is supposedly for children, but this would definitely scare some people if they saw it out and about trick or treating.

44. Tomb Raider… the original
Everyone knows that the graphics in the video game Tomb Raider are terrible. Lara croft is a popular sexy costume for women, but this man set the bar for any one dressing like her, including a very boxy pixelated frame.
45. Sea turtle
When this man told his friend that he needed a turtle costume, saying she delivered is an understatement. She went all out painting and sewing this incredible life like costume. And based on the smile on his face, he’s pretty proud to be wearing it.

This mom had such good costumes back to back years we couldn’t pick one. Giving a shoutout to Asian culture she went as characters from the popular pokemon franchise and Mulan from Disney.

The popular online game thats sweeping the nation is now the perfect halloween costume. These four dressed as the characters from the game and they executed it perfectly, right down to the little plant on the top of their head.
