As Halloween approaches, parents find themselves digging deep into their wallets for costumes that will only see the light of day once—only to be smeared with chocolate and tossed aside. And let’s not forget the neighborhood rounds that end in tears after just 20 minutes due to tired little legs. Yes, it’s that time of year again—Halloween!
While there are plenty of treats (like sneaking candy from the kids), there are also the inevitable meltdowns over costumes, candy, and, well, just about everything else. The hilarious parents of Twitter perfectly capture the chaos that comes with this spooky season.

Those cobwebs? Not from some discount store. You’re here to slay, not play! -
Awkward Revelations.
If only someone had clued me in back in 2008. Just kidding. Kind of. -
Oh No, Not That!
Prepare your eyes for sights you can’t unsee. Also, can we talk about how teachers deserve a million dollars a year? -
Take That, Frankenstein!
Load up those adorable little ones in a wagon and go get your candy haul. You’ve earned it! -
Hotter Than Ever.
