Super Mario Bros.
Frog Prince Paperie Kids who were thrilled checking out Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad and Bowser on the big screen this year will get a kick out of this Super Mario Brothers trunk — I mean the Spooky Mario Brothers trunk. (Well, there are ghosts.) For this video game scene, paper lanterns became ghosts and chain chomps and tissue poofs became the bombs.

The Ashley Maria Blog You don't have to re-create the grimy New York City sewers to pay homage to those heroes in a half shell (though you always could — they are frightening). This trunk-or-treat setup took inspiration from the TMNT's love of a pizza and decorated the car to look like a pizzeria (though you can see the sewer-entrance manhole in the left corner).

Minecraft
Frog Prince Paperie Trunk-or-treat and Minecraft are both all about crafting, so they make for a natural match.

(There's also an Enderman just out of the frame, but you'll see it if you click through to the blog post below.)

Instagram/hershekissis Did you make your house with straw, sticks or bricks? (Or, heaven forbid, candy!) A Three Little Pigs theme is the best way to incorporate a trio costume like the ladies of HersheKissis did — just be on the lookout for the Big, Bad Wolf.

Jen Street For her "frunk-or-treat" (since Teslas have their trunk in the front), Jen Street of Forged Flare took her inspiration from the How to Train Your Dragon series. She designed the car with a 30' wingspan and a 12' tail, and made it so the headlights give the eyes a green glow. When it's open (which you can see on her Instagram), there are two rows of teeth!
