When the creator of this creepy Dead Tree Man decoration heard it was fall he took the word literally and used fallen leaves and branches to spectacular effect.
The Dead Tree Man is located in the garden section of the Museo Archeologico in Naples, Italy and must have been quite delightful for museum visitors to discover as they toured the grounds around Halloween.
I've always wanted to see more women dress up as Leia on Endor, but now that I see her with her adorable little Ewok friend I know that it would actually be hard to pull it off this well.
The Huffington Post, aka HuffPo, has rounded up a bunch of Halloween costume pics which they consider to be the funniest of 2012.
Many are politically themed, of course, yet very chuckle-worthy, and with thirty pics to peruse chances are most of these costumes are new to you, unless you're a regular HuffPo reader.
Festive food creations are fun to look at, and in the case of this Pumpkin Cheeseburger looking is all you can do unless you enjoy taking a bite out of uncooked squash.
The pumpkin seeds are a great addition to this colorful cheeseburger creation, but what's the point of frying up a big ol' beef patty if you're not gonna eat the darn thing!
Fabricator of the fantastic Marc Samson was tired of all the standard Evil Dead themed costumes out there, so he decided to dress himself up as the book responsible for the outpouring of evil- the Necronomicon.
He created this clever mask, complete with a cover that opens and illustrated pages within, and it all started with a simple Skeleton mask. Now that's custom costuming done right!

Ellen decided to make a bold statement with her Halloween costume this year by dressing up as her curvaceous friend Sofia Vergara.
Even though the Sofia suit doesn't quite match Ellen's real skin tone it's better than getting a bunch of plastic surgery to enhance your figure.

Dressing your little tykes up like Calvin and Hobbes, as they take an imaginative ride on their red Radio Flyer wagon, makes for an adorable Halloween photo session.
Is it possible that the little guys in this photo are even cuter than the original Calvin and Hobbes? Judging by this picture it's definitely possible!
Sweet Jackie Skellington took her spectral dog Zero out for a walk, and undead guys all over town really lost their heads!
Her costume is simple and stylish, perfect for playing Halloween dressup every day, and Zero is the perfect accessory because you don't have to scoop his poop!
Michael Jackson is far from a popular Halloween costume choice these days, so if you show up at a party dressed like the King of Pop you'd better be on your best behavior...and for goodness sake practice his dance moves if you're gonna try to get down!
Here's a zipper faced young lady who doesn't believe in traditional princess costumes, she needs a bit of gross factor with her pretty pink dress.
And even though she has to unzip the lower half of her face every time she wants to shout "trick-or-treat!" the shocking end result is totally worth it!
Babies aren't fond of wearing Halloween costumes. Unless it's keeping their head warm, or getting them lots of attention from their parents, they don't understand dresssing up and they don't like getting dressed up.
Too bad there's no end in sight for those poor little babies, because as long as they look so darn cute in their costumes their folks are gonna dress 'em up!
Costumes based on comic book characters don't come any funnier, or more obscure, than the ones found in this 2012 ComicsAlliance gallery of reader submitted Halloween costumes.
From Hipster Robin to the Flaming Carrot, these costumes are a comic book geek's delight!
That Holly! She's just crazy about Tiffany's. Yes, the jewelry store. And specifically the people there, who make a fine breakfast. That's why redditor Freakmo stopped by for a bite to eat and won a contest with her carefully crafted latex mask.

I don't want to wear no silly costume! I want to howl at the moon and dance like Michael Jackson!
Not all of Game of Thrones is depressing. There are funny moments mixed into the brutality, like when Daenerys Targaryen eats a raw horse heart. Laura Pliskin submitted this photo to Fashionably Geek's Halloween costume roundup, which you can view at the link.
