Peter Facinelli is no stranger to dressing up.

The Breaking Dawn star plays pearly-white vampire Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight Saga film franchise alongside Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

So with Halloween just around the corner, is Facinelli trying for Father of the Year and hooking his daughters up with some Twi-inspired costumes?

Nope.

"They're really creative," Facinelli recently told us while promoting Wonka Candy's 32 Days of Wonkaween. "I wanted to be the chipmunks [from Alvin and the Chipmunks] because I have three daughters, so I thought it'd be fun for them to be the Chipettes and for me to be Dave. But you can't control what they want to be...They always at the last minute change their costume to something else."

So no Bella Swan duds for Luca, 14, Lola, 8, or Fiona, 4? "I think my oldest said she wanted to be a Stepford wife," he says.

As for Facinelli, don't expect to see him trick-or-treating as the Cullen clan's head honcho.

"No, I've been doing that for the last five years," he says. "You think Carlisle's the easy route, but Carlisle takes hours and hours of work. I think I'm going to go as a fireman this year."
