After weeks of watching horror movies, planning outfits and deciding what treats to stock up on, Halloween is finally here.

As has become commonplace over the years, the wrestling business is just as keen to celebrate Halloween season as the rest of us. Whether it's on weekly television, for promotional shoots or merely for their own sh*ts and giggles in their personal lives, wrestlers rarely miss a chance to get spooky and sinister as 31 October looms large on the calendar.

Some of these wrestlers may choose to be more traditional and embrace the horror vibes for Halloween, while others look to go with a more broader, general style of fancy dress when deciding what garb to don. Regardless of which approach is taken, the end result is often something pretty darn impressive - either for how outright awesome the costume looks or for how grin-inducing said outfit ends up being.

With that in mind, then, here are the ten best Halloween costumes of the WWE and AEW rosters this October.

To. The. Moon.

Cameron Grimes dressing as an astronaut on NXT: Halloween Havoc makes absolute perfect sense. Our own Adam Wilbourn is still smiling maniacally at this one.
