Pictured: The winner of Cinematical's Fourth Annual Halloween Costume Contest
Our Fifth Annual Halloween Costume Contest saw a record number of submissions, with literally hundreds of freaky movie-inspired Halloween costumes for our crack team of judges to sift through. Naturally it took forever to choose 20 finalists (10 in the adult category and 10 in the child category), but after hours of tireless deliberations we finally narrowed down the list and came away with what I believe to be the cream of the crop. Before we ask you to vote for the winning costumes, I'd personally like to thank all of you out there for dressing up and playing along. Though it's a giant task each year, it's one I always welcome with open arms because nothing puts a bigger smile on my face then to sift through photos of you all getting your movie geek on.
Okay, here's how this works: Below you will see a photo gallery for each category. Within each photo gallery there are ten images which represent each finalist alongside a number and the character they're dressed up as. Below each gallery there is a poll listing the numbers and characters as per the order they show up in their gallery (note: this order is random). We need you to look through each gallery, then vote for who you feel has the best costume in the polls. Got it? Good.
The Adult Finalists are listed below, and the Kid Finalists are listed after the jump (along with the prizing and official rules). We'll keep the voting open through Friday and announce the winner a week from today. Good luck!

WALL*E won the adult one without second thought.
For the kids one Headless Harry is technically the best, but baby max is so much aweeeeeee it's hard for me to say no to. Still can't make up my mind.

Great costumes finalists! If you mirror reflect the Watchmen photo it looks even more amazing because then his red, white and blue shoulder spauldrons appear to be on the correct shoulders. And it shadows the "right" cheek where the scar should be.

Same concept?! How many witches, and vampires, and werewolves do you see each year? It's the creativity that goes in to each one that sets them apart. FYI, we did not see one other costume like his when he participated in his Halloween events, not that it matters. We made the costume for HIM, not people like you and he had a blast wearing it. THAT is what matters! He'll have great memories from this costume the rest of his life!
