One of the most popular scenes from the classic cartoon Peter Pan film is when Peter is visiting the Darlings’ house and gets his shadow captured in a drawer. In the film, his shadow is an independent “person” with a completely unique personality that has nothing to do with Peter Pan’s actual body. The shadow usually follows him and mirrors his behavior but occasionally decides to take up its own life and even communicate with the boy who never grows.
The guy in the picture decided to dress up as Peter Pan’s shadow by wearing a Peter Pan costume and painting it black. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 7 scary black costumes out of 10.
