If you’ve never heard of “Halloween” before, it’s a national holiday celebrated each year on October 31 (arguably the last day of October). Some observers celebrate by bobbing for wet fruit in a bucket of dirty water while others decorate their neighbors’ lawns with bathroom waste-paper. The craftiest among them, however, are dressing up in original disguises called “costumes.”

These are some of the best examples of “Halloween” “costumes” on Reddit.

Attack of the 8-Bit Yeti from SkiFree

Remember SkiFree? That computer game in the ’90s where you had to ski away from a scary yeti who appeared out of nowhere to chase you down a snowy mountain? (If not, you’re either way too old or way too young.) Well, that’s what user velauraraptor’s costume is all about—and whether you get the reference or not, it’s pretty terrifying.

Skee-Ball: 100 Points!

User MoobyTheGoldenCalf helped their son transform into one of his favorite games: Skee-Ball. This adorably awkward costume is an impressive homage to an arcade classic, complete with 100-point rings and a realistic ticket-dispenser, but it raises one question: How can that poor kid see where he’s walking?!

This wasn’t MoobyTheGoldenCalf’s son’s first cumbersome costume. His past two were also rather boxy as well.

Lego Boba Fett

Everything is awesome about this costume, which took user iqwertyi roughly seven weekends to complete. Using computer-aided design to get the proportions perfectly Lego-like, iqwertyi carefully planned out every single detail—with one small oversight:

Alien Versus… Actually, Alien Forfeited: Predator, You Win.

User rustyballonknotz’s friend created this Predator-y look, and apparently spared no expense. In a comment, rustyballonknotz estimates his friend spent roughly $1,200 (and months of his time), explaining that there are “a bunch of little things that add up. Leather, lasers, batteries, air brush, paint, latex, bones, fishnet, dreads, foam, leds, etc.” Check out the full gallery to see photos of how rustyballonknotz’s friend built his villainous vestments.

Raft a River of Lava!

User herobertonandez posted this magical photo with the caption “My wife and kid at a costume contest. I’m proud of him for lasting so long in the bus.” As he notes in a comment:

But everybody got time to dress their dog up as a shape-shifting cartoon bus.

Hades & Hydra

Redditors Idodoodletoo and Qu1nlan (separately) recreated the two most frightening characters from the Disney film Hercules.

Idodoodletoo must’ve died and been reborn as this truly underworldly Hades:

… and Qu1nlan seemed to have his heads in the right place back in 1998, with this dad-made “hydra” costume:

“Wish it still fit!” (Reddit user Qu1nlan)

Zero to anti-hero—just like that.

Cat Lady, Jr.

This might not be the nicest choice for a kid’s first Halloween costume, but user barbmalley was ready for the critics with a prepared defense:

And if the other kids don’t invite the girl to any Halloween parties, the stuffed cats will keep her company. Always.

An All-Too-Real Calvin & Hobbes

Tiger may appear much larger when younger. Also, it might talk. (Reddit user the_right_hand_rule)

User the_right_hand_rule got the idea for this costume after buying their son a stuffed animal Hobbes from Target. It probably didn’t hurt that the kid already bore a striking resemblance to the main character:

‘Nuff said.

O Captains, My Captains: Carpe Halloweenum

Reddit user aubra_cadabra and her friends are the savants of spookiness responsible for three consecutive years of award-winning group costumes.

In 2012, they paid tribute to Johnny Depp:

Left to Right: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice in Wonderland, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Cry Baby, Edward Scissorhands, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (Reddit user aubra_cadabra)

In 2013, the group chose to honor Jim Carrey’s film career, and they did a “re-e-eally” good job:

Left to Right: Mr. Popper’s Penguins, Dumb & Dumber, The Cable Guy, The Mask, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and Batman Forever. (Reddit user aubra_cadabra)

In 2014, they continued the comedian trend with a spotlight on Will Ferrell:

Left to Right: Elf, Blades of Glory, Zoolander, Anchorman, A Night at the Roxbury, Semi-Pro, and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. (Reddit user aubra_cadabra)

This year, aubra_cadabra and her artful associates used their phenomenal cosmic powers to create a masterfully detailed tribute to the late Robin Williams:

Left to Right: Mrs. Doubtfire, Mork and Mindy, Jumanji, Popeye, Hook, Aladdin, and The Birdcage. (Reddit user aubra_cadabra)

It’s safe to say, they’re poised for their fourth big win. Even if they weren’t grouped together, each costume had at least one perfect detail to make everyone laugh:

In a comment, aubra_cadabra notes that she and her costume-obsessed friends plan on dressing up decades from now, coordinating group themes every October until the members of their coterie “slowly die off one by one.”

For her DIY ethic, team spirit, and terrifying level of dedication to the art of Halloween costumes, audra_cadabra and her friends might be the top contenders for this year’s Hallowinners.

But until the results are official, redditors are already suggesting ideas for the group to try next October:
