We recently summoned Illinois Patch readers to share photos of their pets clad in Halloween costumes. Once, again, you did not disappoint. We received dozens of images of furry friends decked out as little creepy crawlers, superheroes, barkeeps and even a rotisserie chicken!

Warning: The images you are about to behold are horrifyingly endearing. These are not for the faint of heart.
