It’s October! You know what that means; leaves changing colors, apple picking and pumpkin patches, candy corn, and of course, Halloween. Personally, fall is my favorite season and dressing up for Halloween is so much fun for me! But what happens when you’re having trouble picking out a costume? This is why I’m here. I’m going to be throwing out a few last minute ideas that I almost did for Halloween myself, but ended up not doing them. I figured I could share them with you and you could potentially use them, either this year or the next year if you’ve already decided. Let’s get into it!  

Solo costumes:

Don’t have anyone to do a costume with? That’s totally okay!! Sometimes doing a costume by yourself is more fun than a group one! It leaves a ton of room to be yourself and have a sense of individuality.

  • Medusa
  • Megan Fox (any look)
  • Lady Gaga (same applies)
  • Madonna

Flight Stewardess 

Girl Scout

Carol Baskin from Tiger King

  • Beetlejuice
  • Bob Ross
  • Nascar Driver
  • Brittany Spears from any era
  • Cruella DeVil
  • Cow (Honestly any cute animal would work)
  • Jack Skellington 
  • Candy Corn
  • Machine Gun Kelly

Bestie costumes: 

If you and your best friend are planning on doing something together but struggling to find some ideas to do together, consider these!

  • London Tipton and Maddie from Suite life of Zack and Cody
  • The Sun and Moon
  • Firefighter and Dalmation
  • Cher and Dionne from Clueless
  • Alice from Wonderland and Queen of Hearts or the Mad Hatter
  • The classic duo, Spongebob and Patrick
  • Max and Caroline from 2 Broke Girls 
  • Rue and Jules from Euphoria (Still waiting patiently for that next season to come out)
  • Hocus Pocus fairy godmothers
  • Louise, Tina, and Linda from Bob’s Burgers 

Couple costumes:

Of course you would want to do a costume that incorporates your significant other! Here are some ideas that I wish I could do but unfortunately am too single for :’)

  • Any Disney prince and princess
  • Bonnie and Clyde 
  • Buzz Lightyear and Woody
  • Lola and Bugs Bunny
  • Wolf of Wall Street
  • Shrek and Fiona
  • Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf
  • Jade and Beck from Victorious
  • Any Marvel/DC good guy and bad guy
  • Shark Boy and Lava Girl (I love this idea!)

Big group costumes:

These are some of the coolest ideas I have for a big group, some are fairly new and some are pretty old but I think either way it would still make for a good look

  • Stranger Things cast
  • Seasons! (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer) 
  • Cast of Scooby Doo
  • The Incredibles family
  • Codename kids next door cast
  • American Horror Story cast (any season)
  • Old people (A great way to turn people’s heads)
  • The Addams family 
  • Spice Girls
  • Cast of Wizard of Oz
