Trick R' Treat is a horror film about a sack headed boy named Sam who seems kinda cute on the outside, but is actually a rather devlish little fellow who shows his neighborhood the dark side of Halloween through the usual murder-and-mayhem formula.
Sam's blank button eyes and odd mannerisms make him the perfect subject for a Halloween costume, and we're sure to see more people dressing as Sam, for Halloween or otherwise, in the coming years.
In the meantime we've got a frightfully good example by cosplayer Straywind, who decided to trade in her cute cosplay outfits for one that's a bit creepier.

It's hard to come up with a good Sims costume that doesn't involve simply placing a green diamond above your head, because the Sims look like normal people.
That's why the young lady in this pic gets bonus points for her Sim-in-the-shower costume, although she would probably look pretty silly walking around in public wearing nothing but pixelated sandwich boards!
