Best Halloween Costumes I’ve Stumbled Upon This Week

I love Halloween and the creepy fun that comes about this night filled with ghouls, ghosts, and goblins. And while I’m sorta past the free candy handed out by strangers thing (though I’m still quite fond of the mini Snickers bars), I love great Halloween costumes! I’m not talkin’ about those sleazy, cheap yet over-priced store-bought costumes. It’s those creative, homemade Halloween costumes that are the best! Funny or scary, pop-culture relevant or abstract, kids or adults, pet or human, these ideas rock! So here now are just some of the best Halloween costumes that I stumbled across this week that’ve made me laugh, scream, and/or applaud. Enjoy!
