Halloween is getting closer, which means we are running out of time to think of some awesome, memorable costumes! And for those who are especially keen on being creative and standing out from their friends in their Facebook photos, they should definitely consider family costumes. Even if everyone does not want to dress up (especially the moms who have enough on their plate already) it can still be fun for kids to dress up with their friends, their siblings, or even their dads! There are some pretty amazing daddy-daughter costumes out there, but there are just as many fantastic ideas for sons and their fathers. 

No matter how young or old a little boy is, there are tons of fun costume ideas he can do with his old man. Some can even incorporate the baby's stroller. For example, one father-son duo dressed as Peter Pan and Captain Hook and turned the stroller into a pirate ship! And speaking of Disney, there are many other ideas there, such as Woody and Buzz Lightyear. And don't be afraid to think outside of the box. Costumes like Spy vs Spy, Rick and Morty, and Elvis Presley and his guitar are all fun ideas that people have done. Even some '90s cartoons result in epic father-son costumes. Dads and their kids have dressed up as Ash and Pikachu from Pokémon, as well as Chuckie and Chas Finster from Rugrats. And needless to say, they all look amazing! Here are 20 photos of dads and their sons who had some of the best Halloween costumes. Hopefully these can provide some inspiration for other families!
