October 29: "Squints" from "The Sandlot"
It's fun to show our kids movies from our younger days, and this Michael "Squints" Palledorous costume, inspired by the movie "The Sandlot," is a fantastic reason to watch the 1990s baseball film with your kids this Halloween.

"Summer. Baseball. Friendship," she wrote. "It's filled with the essence of youth and memories from a simple childhood — the kind of world I hope my son grows up in!"
