Things Get Weird on All Smugger’s Eve.

Halloween, you’ve met your match.

Even when we’re pounding our keyboards  ’round the clock (and ’round the year), we always like to take some time out to let down our hair, unleash our creativity, and get our crazy on around the end of October. The prize? Bragging rights. The competition? Fierce.

SmugMug’s Crazy Costume Contest

They costumed, we voted, and here are the winners. Check out some of the eye-popping, heart-warming and sword-waving people we’ve got crewing arrrrrrr! ship this year. (Get it?)

First Place

This year’s first place winner was SmugSorcerer Greg. You know, we thought he looked a little different on Monday morning when we spotted him by the coffee machine:

“Hmmm. Did you get a haircut?”

Second Place

Dustin in Quality Assurance (QA), as Doctor Octopus, came in a close second. We can tell Dustin takes his job of crawling through new features before they are launched to find bugs very seriously:

Third Place

We crowned Technical Ops Craig third place because he brought Smuggy to life in his complete green-footed, jumpsuited, spandexed glory.

It got a little scary at times.

Then we had some fantastic family and group shots. Here’s what we voted as the top 3:

Dustin’s family as The Avengers vs Dr Octopus.

Support Heroes Sean and Eric with their own Addams Family.

Our founder Don and his pirate crew.

And we had one entry in the “Pet” category, as fish ‘n chips. Don’t worry, the fish is still alive and doing swimmingly:

Did you and your family dress up this year? We want to see!
