PICTURES OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN! But seriously, we wish your mom would’ve captured this majesty on film!
I wish I had a pic, but when I was 8 I had a homemade Darkwing Duck costume my mom made me. #TMSHalloween @TheMarySue

Do not downplay your attempt at Q-Bert! This is awesome!
Okay @TheMarySue Here’s my most embarrassing #TMSHalloween costume. I was such a terrible Q*Bert pic.twitter.com/T86QXLqYDL — Weregrape Kate (@kat_the_grape) October 29, 2015
CUTEST. RAINBOW BRITE. EVER.
Once upon a time…I refused to take this costume off or answer to any name but Rainbow. #TMSHalloween pic.twitter.com/cqJ7Goj90T

I dunno. Gambling can get pretty scary depending on how much money you’re winning (or losing!):
Our parents wouldn’t allow us to be anything “scary” so we were dice. I’m on the right. #TMSHalloween #tbt pic.twitter.com/xmvILw9gEK — Daniel Mogonagall (@pontelon) October 29, 2015
Rockin’ American Girls Style!

Whatever do you mean? These look perfectly normal to us!

You all are amazing, and clearly have been since you were wee tikes. Thank you so much for sharing your Halloween creativity with us!
As for me, I have to say the highlight of my childhood Halloween costumes was the year I dressed up as Catwoman from the Tim Burton film, Batman Returns. What made it even more awesome was that I wore it despite feeling a little self-conscious as a chubby Catwoman. I wore it, I gave great face in this photo, and I trick-or-treated like a mo-fo.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
