Halloween may be next week, but Brooklyn's 'Hallowmeme' party got the costumed fun started early.

There were lots of McKayla Maroneys and Psys, but people also repped some less-popular memes as well. Skull Trumpet and High Expectations Asian Father both made appearances, and of course there was a 'Gangnam Style' dance-off and plenty of Honey Boo Boos. Here is all that, plus our personal faves.

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:56:51 +0000

There's one thing we know for sure about little kids-- they can make practically anything seem adorable. Scrunched-up, twisted sour faces? Check. A boppin' on a bed rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'? You betcha!

This is especially true when it comes to Halloween.
