Happy Halloween, everybody! For the last month we’ve been asking you to share with us your devilishly delightful plans for costumed creeps this All Hallow’s Eve, and you’ve been spooking up a treat. Here’s just a few of our favorites from your wonderful entries.
We’ve had some lovely entries in this year’s Costume Show so far over the last few weeks, and you can see some of our favorites below. Be sure to check out the links to see everyone’s delightful pictures, too!
Up top we’ve got RichP4003‘s son Miles as an incredibly creepy Mondasian Cyberman from Doctor Who, MDK as the Invincible Iron Duck, and TheGloop as the unbeatable Squirrel Girl. But kicking us off below via Twitter is Kinja user Wenchette, who forgot her kinja login, but did not forget that We Are Venom, with a casual Eddie Brock look (complete with squishy symbiote!):
