Halloween is about creativity and self-expression, and this year, it’s no different. But since we have already carved our pumpkins and hung up all the decorations, everything that remains now is to suit up.
For this list, Bored Panda put together a selection of bold and memorable costumes designed for the spooky occasion by people with disabilities.
These innovative outfits not only reflect the unique personalities and passions of their creators but also challenge stereotypes and promote inclusivity. What a way to celebrate!

#5 My Wife Is Bedbound So I Made Her This Halloween Costume
My wife has been bedridden with a severe illness, but she loves to dress up for Halloween. So I made this costume for her.
Seeing her smile made the under-the-fingernail cardboard paper cut almost worth it.
