It’s week two of io9’s annual costume show, and we’re getting into the Halloween spirit with some throwbacks and four-legged cult hit looks. A special thanks to all of our comments who are helping us set ourselves up for a spooky time. We also received a couple of submissions from the editorial team thanks to our furchildren.

If you’re reading this and still haven’t figured it out, this is the place to get great Halloween costume and cosplay ideas. All you have to do is leave a photo in the comments below of a favorite look from the past that you want to show off at costume parties or even that epic cosplay you made for a con this year. We even have a slideshow of some of the best outfits in pop culture this year to check out if you need some ideas.

And now here are the presentations so far:

And here’s a throwback to a costume of my own from a past Halloween party where I was Dani from Midsommar while my husband and puppy were the main characters from The Lighthouse.

Show us what you got in the comments! And don’t forget, as always: please post pictures of yourself (and only yourself), and tell us who you are, what you’re wearing, and a little bit about how you put your costume together.
