Send us your most embarrassing Halloween pet costume pictures

It's that time of year when we risk scratches from pissed-off pets and tears from frustrated children, all to placate the gods of the Internet with offerings of ultimate cuteness.

The Internet is the most expensive cat video distribution vehicle in human history… but on Halloween, it becomes so much more.

This is the time of year when Americans of all faiths and creeds join together, risking scratches from pissed-off pets and tears from frustrated children, all to placate the gods of the Internet with offerings of ultimate cuteness.

In celebration of this most sacred of traditions, and in order to justify the purchase of a green screen, some of the Daily Dot staff has taken it upon themselves to exploit their pets and children for your amusement.

We encourage all members of the Dot community to send us examples of how they’re annoying their pets and kids this Halloween. Use the hashtag #dotoween on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook to show off your Halloween spirit.
