My Halloween Costume Contest has just wrapped up, and I have to say I am incredibly impressed with all the creativity, hard work, and fun that went into them! It’s always hard to choose a winner because they’re all so great.. but alas, ’tis a contest.

But before we get to the winners, here’s my Halloween costume from this year! I’m “FrankenWiener!”

I guess I was sort of into the whole zombie thing this year. Which is probably because I’ve been obsessed with this great zombie video game lately.

I’ve almost got it beat!

But for Halloween night itself, I opted for the skunk costume instead – which retrospectively, was probably not the best way to get people to give me treats..

Should of stuck with FrankenWiener…

Anyway, without further ado let’s get to the Costume Contest Winners!

Most Creative Costume

The winner of this category receives a truly cool new gadget. It’s called the PetCube camera, a brand new device that lets you watch, talk and play laser games with your pet from your smartphone, no matter where you are. Just open an app on your smartphone to get live video footage of your furry friend at home to see what sort of mischief they’re up to! Plus, there’s even a built in laser you can control from your phone to play with your pet when you’re not there. You can also record video and photos to share to social media and share access to your Petcube with friends or family.

And the winner is…

Lieke Venema with her dog Tilda!

“This is Tilda and she is wearing an ‘Up’ inspired costume. She loves to dress up and to get her photo taken, so this shoot was so much fun to do!”

Congrats! You’ll be one of the first-ever people to try out this product, which originated on Kickstarter.

Runners ups for Most Creative Costume:

Celie McVaugh with her cinderella carriage costume!

And Bruce Bernard with his dog Piggy’s Stretch Limo Service!

“We go a looooooong way for you!” 1-800-STRETCH Major credit cards, bacon and pepperoni accepted.”

Funniest Costume

The winner of this category receives a brand new iFetch toy – the automatic ball launcher. Let me show you how it works…

It does take some practice, but it’s a lot of fun!

And the winner is…

Bonus Winner!

Every Crusoe contest has a bonus winner. The below entry had to win something in my books! Perhaps they know me too well ; )

Why didn’t I think of that!

This prize pack will include a collection of my 3 newest store items; my 2015 calendar, Crusoe mug, and Fire Drill Dog t-shirt!

Special Mentions

If there were a prize for most over-the-top costume, it would be this one by Emma Dugger!

I also have to show some respect to the incredible little Frankie dressed as a train conductor, by Barbara Techel.

And can you believe a little dog named Gilligan even made a whole music video for this contest? Incredible!

So that’s all folks! Thanks to everyone for participating and for all your great work! Everyone is a winner to me!

Keep spookin’,
