With all the chaos caused by Sandy, you would be forgiven to forget that it’s Halloween today, a fest that under regular circumstances, is one of the most popular holidays in North America as well as other regions in the western world.
What Halloween means for most people, regardless of age and gender, is getting creative and having some fun by dressing up to either scare people or make them laugh their heads off.
In some ways, the same can be said for certain automobiles and the way that their respective owners have altered their appearance.
As a tribute to Halloween, we thought of preparing a list of 20 vehicles wearing all sorts of costumes, some of which you could say are replica cars and some that simply borrow design cues from here, there and beyond.
Check them out all out right after the jump.
