When it comes to Halloween, there is only a small window of time where your kids will willingly participate in coordinated family Halloween costumes. Before you know it, they will be picking out their own costume and ditching you for their friends. Take advantage of that window by dressing them up in the most embarrassing ways possible. Below is a list of the most unique family costumes.
#1. Go Retro: Scooby Doo & the Gang
