40 Kids Who Took Halloween To The Next Level With Their Epic Looks

Halloween might be known for jump scares and spooky decorations, but some kids are clearly here for style points. From tiny vampires to pint-sized superheroes, these little legends didn’t just dress up, they turned Halloween into their own personal runway (or haunted house catwalk, if you will).

Each year, the creativity of young trick-or-treaters seems to level up. Parents, siblings, and sometimes even the kids themselves put together jaw-dropping outfits that make adults wonder if they should step up their costume game. Whether it’s an eerily accurate movie recreation, a DIY masterpiece, or a hilarious twist on a classic monster, these costumes prove that imagination has no age limit.

Image source: TrueAd8845

I used a cheap skull mask and glued the material over it but made sure it was imperfect with the creases. Also made sure the eye sockets were deep enough to cut holes in but remain dark enough so that you don’t see his eyes. Then added some paint and stitching!

#38 Weeping Angel

Just wanted to share… my daughter started campaigning to be this Doctor Who baddie for a few years before I took the plunge. It was intimidating as all get out, but about seven or eight weeks of my life and and inordinate amount of trips to the craft and hardware stores later, there we were.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve improved the arms & hands, and I’ve redone the “wig” twice and still am not really satisfied (I think it’s time to learn how to work with sculpting/molding latex), and I’m going to attempt airbrushing the makeup in the future.

The wings are detachable without having to undo the whole thing to get out of them, and it was 10/10 worth the headache to make them so.
