Sometimes they maybe shouldn't be, but things that should be scary sometimes turn out to be a little bit ... sexy. And scary. At the same time.

It can cause some emotional turmoil in the heart and mind, but it happens. It seems some elaborate cosplayers have mastered the art of the scary-sexy, and with Halloween fast approaching, it can serve as some great inspiration for those late-night grown-up parties.

Most of these are pretty safe for work, but hey, you might get some weird looks if you fire this one up at the office.
