When it comes to Halloween costumes, most kids go dressed as something you'd expect, like a Frozen character, a superhero or the classic pumpkin.

However, there are some kids who don't find it fair that adults get to have all the fun (and by fun, we mean boring, mature times). Those children have rebelled and made themselves refined, grown-up Halloween costumes. (Their parents may have had something to do with it.)

Enjoy these 12 mature costumes that any sophisticated child would appreciate.
