Invasion of the Zom-Babies

Tired of princess and puppy dog costumes? Why not dress up your baby in some scary threads this Halloween? Sure, it’s still more than a month away, but it’s better to have a costume all prepared than rush around and buy a really crappy one when you realize that you didn’t have time to make one yourself after all.

What’s a better costume for your baby than an undead one? Zombies are all the rage these days, so why not let your baby get in on the action?

Zombabiez

Stephanie Davidson was on the hunt for a zombie costume for babies that would make them appear to be creepy, crawling torso-only zombie and decided to make her own when she couldn’t find it. She decided to share the joy of transforming babies into the crawling dead and launched a Kickstarter campaign called Zombabiez.

That’s essentially what these adorable-looking zombie costumes are called. Each one is made using child-safe materials and has a bunch of colorful innards and hanging organs that babies will probably have a lot of fun grabbing and chewing on.

You can check out Zombabiez here. A minimum pledge of $60(USD) will get you a Zombabiez costume for your little one, just in time for Halloween.
