Don’t want to be recognized by some unleashed spirits on All Hallows Eve? Not sure if you’d like to be lured into the 'other world' too soon? Do not worry; the Halloween costumes are there for a reason.

Traditionally, they were meant to be worn so that the ghosts and spirits wouldn’t recognize you and cause you no harm. Today, it's more of a fun tradition when you can be somebody else, at least for a day. If in the olden days, the disguises were more about witches and ghosts, now you can morph into your favorite movie character, an animal, and even an object or an intangible idea - creative Halloween costumes are the hype right now.

Since All Saints Eve is right around the corner, you should've gotten your Halloween costume ideas ready. But sometimes, it can be hard to come up with something creative and original without clearing your bank account.

Bored Panda has helpfully compiled a list of some of the most impressive DIY Halloween costumes we could find so that you can get some last-minute inspiration. Scroll down to check them out below. And if you’re going to a party with your other, there are couples' Halloween costumes, too!

Excellent cosplay! And the chains are rather handy to keep the kiddos in sight. (Can't do that any other time of year though.)

Other time of year you can keep them on a leash :P As harsh as it sounds, sometimes it can be a life-saver, literally. I've witnessed a kid almost running on the crossway under a car, cause he saw something on the other side. It were seconds and the leash saved the boy. I know there are both pro and con people to that idea though.

This is cute, but child leasing is never okay. What do you think they are, dogs? They're humans, for Christ's sake!

People don't put dogs on a leash, because they're dogs. They put them on leashes so they don't run away or don't get into trouble or lost. Not every child is the same. There are some very hyper active that you can't keep in sight or close to you no matter what you try, they will run away, hide and even bring theirself in danger, so some parents resolve to to this method for their own safety.

The children are not really chained, the leashes are decorated with chains as part of the costume but they are not actually used as restraints. As you can see the children's harnesses are actually made of cloth material.

Its no easy job to walk in those heels, my sister once jokingly taunted me to try those pencil heels and I couldn't walk even one or 2 step perfectly. If this guy has courage to put them on and come to office/college whatever this place is, I will upvote this image for the courage only.
