Who lives on the Internet haunting your dreams? SPONGEBOB COSTUMES. Creepy and lurky and DIY as can be! SPONGEBOB COSTUMES… It's that nautical nonsense that none of us wish: A Spongebob Halloween.

Although the show is decades old, many of us cling to the stories of Bikini Bottom more than the lid on the pickle jar that Patrick never figured out. When it comes to Halloween costumes, a person has any number of ideas to choose from–like a bumblebee, Carrie, a pirate, or even a scary nun. But why be something regular when you can dress yourself as a semi-realistic Doodlebob Spongepants? Diehard Spongebob fans will all understand the hilarity behind each of the costumes below, but I must warn you, nearly every rendition of a cartoon come to life looks more like they're suffering from a case of the Uglies instead of the spookies.

So if you're feeling like your own costume at home lacks luster, keep scrolling for a confidence boost that someone out there at the Krusty Krab has a far creepier costume than you!
