“I love the spirit of Halloween and the energy that comes with it”—American singer, Katharine McPhee. Halloween, observed worldwide on October 31st, is a popular festival, dedicated to the deceased. It is the time when the power of death is ridiculed, and to do so, adults and children dress up in spooky costumes or go trick-or-treating. While most people concentrate on giving their children the most authentic outfits, there are some who include even their pets in the ritual. More often than not, pets are so eager to please us that they are ready to endure even the worse of nonsense from us. Some attempts we make as pet owners may fail miserably, whereas occasionally our efforts may be flawless. Whatever be the attire, our pets have the ability to lend the garb their own distinctiveness, and at times their charm is just too much to resist. There are instances when animal lovers like us can just swoon over these dear little critters. I mean why shouldn’t we, when we have these 25 terrifyingly cute Halloween costumes for pets?
1. Rob-Bun (Robin)
Robin has always been one of my favorite fictional characters. In fact there are times when I can’t decide between Batman and his junior counterpart. However, this cute bunny takes the cake any day with his irresistibly cute Halloween costume. I mean, just look at that black eye mask resting on that stubby nose…

2. AT-AT (Dog) Walker
Dressed as the war machine, AT-AT Walker, resembling ancient animals that were used in battles, this adorable dog looks as if he jumped straight out of the sets of Star Wars! His humans have ensured precision in designing his body suit, turning him into the ultimate Halloween pet.

3. Fluffy From Harry Potter
Granted, Fluffy, a Cerberus, who features in the Harry Potter series, is a large three-headed dog that is deemed ruthless by everyone. Yet, this doll, whose parents dressed him up as Fluffy is nowhere near as vicious. The terrifyingly cute costume is in fact so endearing that one look at this dog and you would be forced to go “awwwwwwww!!”

7. Captain Jack Sparrow
The most-loved of all pirates, Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Hollywood star Johnny Depp, has always been a heartthrob. However, this Chihuahua, with his pirate hat and long dreadlocks, seems like the perfect competition to Sparrow, except that the dog is unquestionably cuter.

9. The Bostie Scorpion
The Boston Terrier we see here is even more delightful than the one above, when dolled up to resemble a scorpion. He looks so charming, that you won’t be able to resist the urge to brave those claws and give him a loving peck on his wrinkly snout.

12. Zombie Dog
Would anyone ever be scared of a zombie, if they spotted this sweetheart out on the road? This angel just stole my heart with a cute smiling face and that delightful, curly tail, despite being dressed in tattered clothes with the brain, ribs and flesh jutting out.

This leopard lookalike seems to be wearing one of the best Halloween costumes ever. The spiked armor, with scales like those of an armadillo, gives this cat a charming appearance. What sets the mood in this photograph are the bones and skull lying scattered around.

15. The Dinosaur Guinea
The costume no doubt looks like a prehistoric stegosaurus, but dressing up a guinea pig in the same? That, as you can see, is nothing short of a cuteness overload.

20. Freddy Krueger
Guinea pigs are delightful creatures even when they aren’t wearing any clothes. However, how on earth do we stop ourselves from mollycoddling the baby, when it is dressed in the garb of the feared antagonist, Freddy Krueger? The hat, the cardigan, and even the fake claws are picture-perfect!
21. The Witch Kitty
Witches can’t always be evil, can they? When a witch ends up looking this cute, there is absolutely no way I am going to freak out the next time I watch a horror movie. Those unimpeachable eyes are sure to touch the deepest corner of your heart.
