Salutations on Samhain, Kotakuites. Halloween falls on a Monday this year, which means that many of you are nursing candy hangovers after dressing up this weekend. Some good-to-great game- and nerd-themed Halloween costumes wound up in our inbox over the last week or so and we've decided to share them with you. The images in the gallery contain working flamethrowers, real-world 8-bit characters and Kotaku's very own Lisa Foiles as a bad-ass Princess Peach. Lots of dedication in these photos.
