69 Halloween Costume Ideas

It’s the most wonderful time of the year; spooky season. It's all about having fun and being a spectacle (while remaining respectful because it really is that easy.) Whether you’re getting ready to win the costume contest or just handing out candies on the front porch, here are some costume designs for everyone this Halloween.

Classics

Minimal effort, maximum vibes. These classics aren’t hard to accomplish and are still seasonal favorites. These costumes can be as basic or creative as you want them to be, from the Walking Dead to Rob Zombie, sexy witch to Baba Yaga. These ideas are what you make them to be. 

• Frankenstein’s monster
• Commando
• Witch or wizard
• Gladiator 
• Athlete (pick your favorite sport)
• Scream
• First Responder (Fire/EMS/LEO) 
• Medusa 
• Rockstar  
• Walking shadow (just wearing a bodysuit) 
• Zombie 
• Plague Doctor 
• Mad scientist 
• Werewolf (of London perhaps)
• Scarecrow

Cult favorites 

Little bit more inspired than the classics. These costumes are a bit more niche. You love the seasonal TV shows/movies, mainly because they are not seasonal if you watch them all year round. These costumes can be either really simple and creative, or take your crafting skills beyond the imaginable. 

• Thriller (Michael Jackson)
• Ash Williams (Evil Dead)
• Frank N. Furter (Rocky Horror Picture Show)
• Marny (Halloweentown) 
• Freddy (A Nightmare on Elm Street)
• The Goblin King (Labyrinth)
• Michael Myers (Halloween)
• Carrie (Carrie)
• Jason (Friday the 13th)
