Paralympian's Halloween Costumes Always Impress—But This Year's May Take The Cake 😍

Man, we might as well all stay home for Halloween, because nobody is gonna beat this guy!

What do the leg lamp from A Christmas Story, a flamingo and Aladdin all have in common? They're all epic Halloween costumes by one ingenious man.

Talk about turning a negative into a positive. When U.S. Paralympian Josh Sundquist was just nine, he was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer in his leg. A year of chemotherapy saved his life, but not his leg: doctors were forced to amputate. The incident led to an inspiring encounter for the budding athlete.

Speaking to People, Sundquist said:

"When I was a child, I wanted to be a Disney animator when I grew up. At age nine I lost my leg to cancer. A few weeks later I got a letter from an animator at Walt Disney who happened to be a double amputee. His name was Broose Johnson. Make-A-Wish later gave me the chance to meet him."

Since then, Sundquist has gone on to become a member of the US Amputee Soccer Team--plus a downhill skier, comedian, author and motivational speaker. (Geez, what have YOU done today?)

And as if that isn't enough, Sundquist has become known for some truly epic Halloween costumes.

Every year, Sundquist comes up with something that seems impossible to beat. And then, like a true champion, he goes ahead and blows it out of the water the next year.

He's been a foosball player...

An IHOP sign...

AN ACTUAL FLAMINGO...

And, my favorite that seems too good to be true: the tacky-as-hell leg lamp from A Christmas Story!

But this year's costume takes thing to a whole new level--and Sundquist credits his encounter with Broose Johnson as its inspiration.

EPIC!!!

What exactly inspired this stroke of genius?

"The letter Broose sent me as a child had a drawing of Genie, which was one of the characters he animated. So this year I wanted to dress as Genie as a tribute to Broose, to Make-A-Wish, and, of course, to Robin Williams."

Josh also shared a video to Twitter telling the whole story:

Of course, folks on social media went INSANE for the costume, because how can they not?

And some folks even found Sundquist's creation inspiring.

How can Josh possibly top this next year?! Something tells me he'll find a way...
