Freaky Friday

Admit it, the promise of free candy isn't the only thing that gets you excited for the spookiest holiday of the year (okay, maybe it's mostly the reason). But dreams of swimming in piles of sugary treats aside, it's usually the dressing up that we always look forward to. 

More often than not, the costumes we choose each year tell us a lot about the characters (or objects) we idolize or simply admire for looking cool - those we either want to be like or even be that week, month, year, or whatever.

So we asked, and you delivered! Here we give you a bunch of the photos you sent us from Halloweens past (and present).

"So this is me as a flower in my super cool jelly sandals."

Meg Guerrero

"I went as a Rak n Roll Skeleton last year."

Andrea Beldua

"Saw this pic of bitty me back then. See how I'm not even looking at the camera. See how I was wearing kigurumi before it was cool. *laughs nervously* Wouldn't catch me dead wearing one of those now, though."

Patricia Selina Hejastro

"The wilderness needed to be explored!!"

Katrina Pimentel

"I went as Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction last year!"

"I'd never gone as a princess for Halloween but the opportunity had finally come when I visited Seoul! Here's me decked out in a traditional Korean princess costume. Elegance has never felt so silky."

Anto Joson

"I relate so strongly to Coraline’s character, that I figured Halloween to be the perfect opportunity to pay homage to both the film and the book (without looking like a lunatic in the process)."
