Halloween is a time of year that allows all of us to express ourselves in a highly creative manner. Pulling off the best costume possible can be difficult and while this may seem like a modern day concern, creepy costumes have been a Halloween fixture since the good old days. Let’s take a closer look at some of these vintage get ups!

We all like a good piece of bacon, but this costume is ridiculous.

These costumes are not a homage to the Michelin man, but they will definitely keep you safe if you start to tumble down a steep hill.

We are not sure which of these costumes is more creepy, so we’ll let you be the judge.

The man on the left probably shouldn’t have strapped the phone directly to his face, but who are we to judge?

We don’t even know what she is supposed to be. We’ve got a lot of questions here.

These costumes might be a tad unsettling to look at, but we cannot deny the level of craftsmanship that has taken place here.

This is one of the cooler Halloween looks that we have ever seen, even by present day standards.

Are these supposed to be adults who are trying to look like small children or the reverse? We have zero clue.

This costume isn’t creepy on its own, but this woman’s facial expression makes it look more bizarre.

A small child inside of an enormous coat? This is way too creepy to make any logical sense.

If you’re looking for the perfect costume idea for your family this year, why not give this one a try?

Dressing like a flightless bird for Halloween? Different strokes for different folks, we guess.

This is supposed to be a takeoff on Humpty Dumpty, but we’re guessing that they didn’t actually read the story.

The fact that only the smallest sliver of this man’s face is showing makes this even more sinister to look at.

What is the tiny stool supposed to be accomplishing here exactly?

Did a bird and an alien decide to procreate? That’s our best guess for what is taking place here.

Weasel or aardvark? We’re not quite sure. The eyes are what make these costumes especially terrifying.

This costume idea will work perfectly if you and your friends are in search of the best group idea.

We’ve got to hand it to her from a creativity standpoint, but the canisters on her head are an odd touch.

These smiling sacks make this photo look like something out of a David Lynch movie.
