Halloween is just around the corner. A day that both children and adults equally enjoy.  I mean, seriously, what's not to love?  You have a legitimate reason to release your childhood inhibitions and become whoever you want, for the night—all, while scoring free candy (whether you're going door-to-door or snatching it from some kid).

So while we definitely can't deny we're super excited to dress up, and see all the awesome costumes to come, we're not too stoked to see the children whose parents had a total lapse of judgment when helping them decide on an appropriate costume ... or just didn't give a flying Frankenstein!

Whatever the case may be, here are 13 of the most questionable kid's costumes that have been worn in the past; and no matter how much some of these horrific costume ideas need to be buried, they are more than likely appear on someone's doorstep, year after year … until another distasteful Halloween trend (using the term trend loosely, of course) comes along and replaces it.  But hey, who are we to judge (although, it may be too late)?

Take a peek and tell us what you think about these less than traditional children’s costumes.  We're dying to know!

It's safe to say his parents are raising him with all the poise of a gentlemen *rolls eyes*.

We're on the rocks about this one. As adorable as that mustache is, it's a little weird having a minor serve us booze.

Little Terrorist

I guess I missed the memo where terrorism became a joking matter. No, no, I didn't miss it because it never existed! This costume is terribly offensive and although the parents are to blame for allowing it (if the kid was even really aware), it makes the child look like a little douch in the making.

Dead Dora

I mean as much as I despised Dora (along with her "parents" or lackthereof) growing up, I certainly never wished death on her.  Besides, imagine how traumatic this costume is for any child still digging on Dora.

Bride of Chucky

I can't deny, I actually love this costume. I do! It didn't kill off any child characters (causing emotional distress to other children), it's creepy and cute—the perfect balance of halloween, and let's face it, they rocked the hell (no pun intended) out of our favorite toy serial killers. But, I'm almost certain this was another parent pick and to that I say, stop living vicariously through your poor children! They want to be fairies and action figures—not plastic serial killers!

Mr. T

No, it's not all that inapropriate (compared to some of the others).  But "I pity the fool" who let their child commit social suicide by dressing up as a man none of his poor friends know of.  This has parent written all over it and shame on them for subjecting that poor child to social ridicule before he even has a social life.

Let's totally make the baby a walking billboard for cigarettes, because it's just so cute? Absolutely not! These parents may as well be handing out loosies, with this poor costume choice.

Someone's been watching Mean Girl's and taking notes, huh? These parents are already down with the whole, "Halloween is the only day you can dress like a total slut"mantra and their daughter hasn't even hit puberty.

Parents, let's not subject our children to our stoner/hippie views when they're still fairly fresh out the womb, ok? Sounds reasonable enough.
