Last week I shared the best of my annual costume awards and asked you all to submit your pics for Halloween 2016. Well, this year the competition got even tougher. There were over 2,000 submissions. Yes. You read that number correctly. You guys know there is no prize, right? I mean, bragging rights sure, but that’s it!

I did my best to cull all the costumes down and post my absolute favorites. That’s why I haven’t posted anything in two days. This takes a lot of time! It’s also possible I missed some stellar entries. There’s always next year!
