Right around now, parents tend to go a little crazy dreaming up Halloween costumes for their kids. We’re even guilty of it–it’s not even October yet and we’ve been eyeing Old Navy’s Halloween costumes, plus costumes from Pottery Barn Kids and the Gap.
So before we all go completely costume crazy, allow us to draw the line. We love cute costumes and we love funny costumes, but there are some Halloween get-ups that are just wrong on kids. So yes, you should probably pass on that pimp costume for your son and that Jesus ensemble, we’d save that for the Christmas play.
Check out more of the worst kids’ Halloween costumes in the slideshow below.

Pimp Suit Costume

As if dressing your son as a pimp wasn't bad enough, this unbelievably bad costume is $50.

Jesus Costume

Just put yourself in your neighbor's shoes: you'd be freaked out to find Jesus ($20) standing at your door on Halloween night, too.

Lady Gaga Costume

Gawker first featured this horrifying infant Lady Gaga costume ($40). No matter how much you love Gaga, this is going too far.

Baby Rabbi Costume

I don't even know what to say about this Rabbi costume ($15). You be the judge.

Thumbelina Wig

They call it a Barbie Thumbelina wig ($23), I see a little blonde Snooki in the making.

Jail Breaker Costume
http://www.momfinds.com/files/2010/09/jail-breaker-costume.jpg
No mother should ever want to see her child in prison stripes. This costume ($20) should be a crime.

French Maid Costume
http://www.momfinds.com/files/2010/09/french-maid-costume.jpg
Maybe it's the off-the-shoulder dress ($16) or maybe it's the fishnets, but this isn't how I want my daughter dressed on Halloween...or ever.

Rapsta Costume
http://www.momfinds.com/files/2010/09/rapsta-costume.jpg
This costume ($20), which comes complete with a blinged out chain and mesh tattoo sleeves, promises to give your kid street cred. I think not.

Hula Girl Costume
http://www.momfinds.com/files/2010/09/hula-girl-costume.jpg
We can't decide what's worse about this hula girl costume ($17): the too-low-cut top or the horrendously ugly Hawaiian print.

-
Lil' Disco Costume
http://www.momfinds.com/files/2010/09/Lil-Disco-Costume.jpg
Sequin jumpsuits ($21) were bad then and they're definitely still bad now. Don't even get me started on the afro wig.

The Baby Gaga costume is by far the worst. The Rabbi costume was kinda funny if you’re trying to get laughs from your kid’s costume. The Pimp, Jail breaker, and rapsta I find inappropriate for young children.
