15 best pop culture Halloween costumes for dogs

4. It

When we look back at 2017, something creepy and terrifying comes to mind. 2017 was definitely the year of the clowns. There was Twisty and the clowns on American Horror Story: Cult and others. But nothing beat Pennywise from It. And nothing will top a cute dog dressed up as a terrifying clown.

Pennywise was so scary in It. He’s your biggest nightmare if you’re one of those people with a fear of clowns. And Bill Skarsgard was absolutely amazing as Pennywise. He perfectly encapsulated the Dancing Clown in the Stephen King remake earlier this year. Now ferocious pups are getting in on the action. And they’re definitely doing the scary clown justice.

There are a ton of dogs paying homage to the creepy clown craze for Halloween this year. I’ve seen a number of dogs in terrifying clown masks and on skateboards already. There are also costumes for Pennywise from It in particular.

There have also been a lot of owners dressing up with their dogs to pay tribute to Pennywise and It. For example, there are a lot of dogs dressing up in the famous yellow rain coat and holding a red balloon while their people go all out with their clown costumes, masks, and makeup and dress up as the terrifying Pennywise. There’s no denying they make a horrifying pair.

So when you’re trick or treating on Halloween night, be careful when you walk past any storm drains or sewers. Some scary clown dogs may just be lying in wait.
