52. People love swiping, so his costume probably received a lot of attention.
The creative side of the internet is hard to beat, especially when people turn Halloween into a full showcase of imagination. These costumes make it obvious that a little effort can go a very long way.
Some of the details here are so good they almost steal the spotlight from the holiday itself. A few of these people clearly went all in, and it paid off.
That is a pretty strong case for dressing up with zero restraint.
