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.
