Just because your children are getting older (and perhaps on the verge of becoming "too cool" for Halloween any longer) doesn't mean you have to sit on your hands if you have good ideas brewing. Want to see them channel their sense of humor and dress as an inflatable character from The Nightmare Before Christmas? Think they'd make a great '90s throwback character? Help them sift through the Halloween decor aisles and pick out a look they'll love wearing. We have 33 costumes to get you started.
