The seriously silly and super-cute Costume Critters™ collection is perfect for a screamin’ good time without any terrifying tricks.

Get ready to BOOO-gie with Costume Critters! Each card in this frightfully fun line features adorable photo pets who sing and dance to their own theme songs in coordinating, spooky-sweet costumes!
