Some people are just way better at Halloween than your average joes like you or me, y’know? While Australia is slowly getting their game in order on the annual parade of costuming excess, America has been operating at God-tier levels for decades. And with All Hallow’s Eve set for tomorrow, scores of people donned their various elaborate attires and headed out over the weekend. Just because it’s on a Tuesday this year doesn’t mean the freakin’ weekend can’t have a little Halloween fun, after all.
Pictures of people’s efforts have been pouring into social media across the weekend, and the results are nothing short of absolutely spectacular.
‘Course it wouldn’t be a Halloween in 2017 without a few IRL memes.

Others took a little more classical approach to recreating art.

But the common thread among them all is the effort. The sheer, unrelenting, mind-boggling effort.
Like this outrageously well-played long-game.

The level of detail in some of the multi-person costumes really has to be seen to be believed.
Still think this is the best costume ever. My bro @ericocarroll433 is his shadow and spent nearly the whole night face down on the floor 😂 pic.twitter.com/PJEoTweT49

That last one. Absolutely floored. Five stars.
Really though, we’re all just here for memes, aren’t we.
Sweet, delicious, wonderful memes.

If you’re ever thinking about getting stuck into the costume game, consider this the new bar.
