Thanks for submitting your clever Halloween costumes to iReport. We'll continue to post some of our favorites here, and be sure to tune in at 8 p.m. ET tonight to see which photos are featured on-air! We're also going to reveal the winner of our AC360° staff costume contest!
EZOnTheEyez says he and his friends decided to be the male models from Zoolander after watching the movie on TV. 'We thought the sequence with his male model roommates was extremely funny and would make a brilliant group costume idea both in terms of color and novelty.'
They bought squeegees online, got the Starbucks cups, and EZOnTheEyez even cut and styled a wig he purchased to make him look more like Derek Zoolander. He said 'it was surprisingly difficult to try to find "fashion" athletic gear. We each spent a few days searching.' In the end, though, 'we got such a positive response from everyone.'

CNN producer note
matman1115 says 'superheroes have always been my favorite Halloween costumes. We had done the Incredibles two years earlier, but with only two kids it wasn't quite complete. So when our youngest was born we knew we had to do it again.'
He says the costumes were pretty easy to make; the family started with red sweats and black shorts, and matman1115 printed the logo out online and taped it on the sweatshirt, while his wife sewed black cuffs for the kids. They painted the masks on their faces and used yellow safety belts left over from his Army days to complete the costume.
'I think the effect of the whole family dressed up is what makes it, plus of course the kids are just so cute!'
