What Halloween costumes do you think are inappropriate for children?

The obvious answer is costumes that are extremely revealing or slutty on children who are a bit too young.

It also bothers me when parents choose the costume for the child who is old enough to have input and wants to - a toddler dressed up as a giraffe doesn't bother me, they can't form sentences, nonetheless enough of a thought to ask for a costume. But throwing something punny and relevant to your interests on an 8 year old who has asked to be a vampire? Kinda sucks for the kid.

Costumes need to be weather appropriate. Beyond that, have fun.
