We know adults still love to get in on Halloween, what with the opportunity to dress up as an alter ego of sorts for the evening. But let’s not kid ourselves: Halloween is for the littles. After all, kids have cornered the market on dressing up and begging for candy — and not just on October 31st.
So let’s take a moment to commend these tiny creative geniuses on crushing Halloween this year with their next-level costumes. Sure, they probably had a hand or two from their parents, but their cuteness gets all the snaps.
Lucy and Ethel

These two cuties are probably cooking up some zany scheme just like Lucy and Ethel did.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg

This is the cutest little Supreme Court Justice.
Spaghetti and meatballs

Look at this tiny dish!
The Grady Twins

These two cuties really know how to up the creep factor.
Stormtrooper

I gotta say, I don’t think I’d be very afraid of this adorable little Stormtrooper.
Hannibal Lecter

OK, that’s terrifying.
Inspector Clouseau

No word on whether this kid was able to avoid tripping over the sidewalk while trick-or-treating.
Pennywise

Yeah, I won’t be sleeping tonight.
Napoleon Dynamite

He needs his Chapstick because his lips hurt real bad!
Kip Dynamite

But this kid will most definitely not bring his brother his Chapstick.
