'Tis the season of bigger and better Halloween decorations and costumes.

Last year, one extremely creative dad made his daughter the most horrifying costume of all: a Zoom meeting. This year, Greg Dietzenbach outdid himself with two next-level Halloween costumes for his children.

For his daughter he created a drive-in movie costume that projects clips from Dracula onto her face, genius! The drive-in movie set up is complete with miniature cars and a concession stand which covers up the projector.

The concession stand is his 13-year-old daughter's favorite part of the costume.

Dietzenbach couldn't resist including the dad joke, "Drive-in me batty."

His son has an equally high-tech costume, a trap disguised as a doormat. Yes, a functioning trap.

The trap reads "place candy here" and his son can control opening and closing the claw.

Dietzenbach wrote on his blog about his inspiration for the costume, "I thought 'What would be one thing that someone would be shocked to see when they open their door?' How about your doormat as a trap!"

In the past Dietzenbach has made a transforming sock robot costume and a front door costume. You can check out all his greatest hits here.

We wonder what innovative costumes Dietzenbach will come up with next year.
