I hate to say it, but we’ve found another collection of cringe-worthy kid costumes from around the web. Part two features kids paying tribute (with their parents’ conscious) to pop culture “icons.” “I’m scared” is an understatement. Click the pics for a close up of these ghastly getups from WTF costumes.
Too early for Halloween? I think not. Make these in advance!

Talk about Nightmare on Sesame Street! Elmo’s world is a lot scarier than it used to be now that the Sesame Street massacre has arrived thanks to artist Isaac Bidwell. Take a peek (but don’t make eye contact) with the monsters turned… uh I guess they stayed monsters… Click the pictures (if you dare) to see which movie is portrayed via puppet.
Enjoy this Friday… if it were up to this little girl, it may be your last.
Muahahah
Falling, flailing and flat out failing, it’s time for a funny kid video unveiling!
