These 23 Pets Already Won Halloween With These Hilarious, Spooky, And Pretty Genius Costumes

    I never thought I'd see a Donald Trump costume and say, "Aww..."

    It's spooky season, which means it's time for my favorite pastime: oohing and ahhing at pets dressed in scary, adorable, or goofy Halloween costumes. So, grab some candy and a blanket, and prepare yourself for some of the cutest — I mean, scariest — pet costumes I could find:

    1. If this Pennywise tried luring me into the sewer, I would most likely jump in without hesitation:

    2. This is an apex predator, FYI:

    3. If I have the choice of picking between this little Cubone and a Dragonite, I'm picking Cubone:

    6. Hide! It's the Demogorgon's cat, the Demo-meow-gon:

    7. This costume is a double whammy because this hamster could be dressed as either a bat or Wario's mustache — which is spooky either way:

    Honestly, all animals in costume immediately win Halloween in my book. If you've dressed up your pet before for Halloween or already have a costume for them, share a pic in the comments below!
