Many truly great costumes and many enthusiastic and hard wokring parents behind them. But I truly love the kids that want to dress up as something totally mundane, like a salad or a road or a fart. those really make me laugh.

The road and egg salad sandwich were my faves!!

I purchased a simple lion costume for my son's first Halloween. He refused to wear it and went out wearing his normal clothing. When asked what he was, he said, in a no nonsense, don't mess with me voice, "I am two !" Nobody questioned him.
Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch 6 years ago
These are all well executed, but for too many it seems like the parent are making the kids dress up in costumes only relevant to the parents. No 4 year old should know or appreciate Game of Thrones Characters. Or Stranger Things. Some of these feel a little too much like its done to boost the parent's Social Media presence and not to make a child happy.
Rissie 6 years ago
You'd be amazed how many things small kids pick up. And even though they don't watch the show can be totally obsessed with a poster or other image from it. I mean there is so much material out there with Jon Snow that looks very cool.

These costumes are great. Many are handmade and way better than the costumes worn by the celebrities at a fraction of the price.

First, The kids dressed up as horror movie figures probably haven't seen the movies. The fun is making a cool costume to trick or treat with the parents. Second, people are missing the point. Halloween, like numerous children's tales full of blood and murder, don't teach kids about monsters. For children, the world and especially the night is full of scary monsters as it is. They teach them monsters can be confronted and defeated.

This reminded me of that one post where the mom dressed her daughter as a luxury brand purse - and the daughter looked so sad. Ah yes, all the hate I will inevitably receive, but like someone already pointed out; kids - babies and toddlers especially, are just parent's props for all the social likes.

Uh...some (not all) of these are parents and not kid ideas. I can't get behind that. I have a 3 and 4 year old. Believe me, I know what kids want to be and what they won't entertain. There are a few listed that are odd, but you know are legit because kids are funny that way, but the rest are parents forcing what they want. That's just sad.
Alia G. 6 years ago
I've appreciated horror movies ever since I was very little and it's made a lot of things easier for me now. There's a big difference between trying not to traumatize children and just sheltering them to make poorly adjusted adults.

I watched Horror movies all the time as a kid. Disney and Horror Films that was it. Alien, The Mummy, Jurassic Park was my bed time movie, Poltergeist, the Shining, The Haunting, Hannibal, Dracula, Interview With A Vampire, Van Helsing. I got a book of silly ghost stories. I read Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark at a young age. And to this day I still love Horror Films. I grew up with Horror.
