Halloween is just around the corner! Have you thought of what to wear as a costume yet? We’ve compiled some ideas based on popular movies and shows, memes, and iconic moments from 2023 that you can gain inspiration from for your ‘fits this spooky season!
1. Any of Stereotypical Barbie’s outfits

There’s no doubt that we’ll be seeing crowds of Barbies this Halloween, but we won’t be complaining. How cute would it be to transform a place into Barbieland instantly?
2. Weird Barbie
While everyone’s going as stereotypical Barbie this Halloween, why not stand out and dress up as Weird Barbie instead? Plus points if you can keep doing the splits!
3. Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken
Here’s something for the guys who loved “Barbie”—the Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken would be a great costume. Don’t forget the little details like wearing three watches and two pairs of sunglasses (to hide your sadness from Barbie twofold).
4. Allan
Don’t want to be a Ken? Be an Allan! There’s only one of him.
5. Oppenheimer
Dressing up as J. Robert Oppenheimer is relatively easy to pull off, especially when you’ve perfected the gaze of someone perpetually haunted by the burden of one’s own creation causing the undeserving demise of millions.
6. Barbenheimer
We can’t let Halloween pass by without bringing back the Barbenheimer trend last July! Let the creative juices flow as you rep both movies in one costume!
7. Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens
Here’s a cute couple costume idea to bring together the Gaiman fans and Pratchett fans! Dressing up as the Principality Aziraphale and the Demon Crowley from the “Good Omens” TV series at a party will surely be tickety-boo—as long as someone doesn’t remind you both of the Season 2 ending… *cue sobbing*
8. Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach (Blackbeard) from Our Flag Means Death
Another couple costume idea is Stede and Blackbeard from the pirate show “Our Flag Means Death!” Choose from any of their outfits throughout the series and come either as the lovers that they could have been in Season One or the ex-boyfriends that they kind of are in the ongoing Season Two.
9. ONE PIECE Characters

Whether you go as Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, or any of the other crewmates that have yet to be revealed in the live-action series, it’s definitely going to be a blast as you and others dressed just like you band together and form an unlikely pirate crew!
10. Gojo’s death scene from “Jujutsu Kaisen”
Who wouldn’t want to remind “Jujutsu Kaisen” fans of the trauma they just experienced with Gojo’s death scene in the manga? Yup, this one is surely going to cut deep…
11. Selena Gomez in a Blanket Meme
Want something a little easier to do? The Selena Gomez meme of her looking afar while wrapped in a cozy duvet would be a great choice and something that a lot of people will understand too. Plus, you’ll be warm the entire night!
12. Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber going to Krispy Kreme
You just had to be there when social media came alive to talk about the Biebers being simultaneously overdressed and underdressed on their way to an event for Krispy Kreme’s collaboration with Rhode. Honestly, no one’s going to be mad if you and your partner show up to the party looking just like the couple did. It would be a win-win situation for you both too if ever one of you wants to slay while the other just wants to put no effort into preparing at all.
13. Taylor Swift’s Eras costumes

Show off your love for TSwift by coming in dressed in any of her costumes from her Eras concert! Plus points if you can perform any of her dances too.
14. Mario and Luigi
Mario and Luigi have always been a staple couple costume during Halloween but we’ll surely see an influx of it, especially after the premiere of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” earlier this year!
15. Ariel from “The Little Mermaid”
Want to dress up like a Disney Princess? We recommend Hailey Barry’s look for “The Little Mermaid.” Simple yet elegant!
16. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Rally the squad and dress up as your favorite turtles from the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” movie!
17. Jigsaw from “Saw X”
With the recent release of the latest installment of the iconic horror franchise “Saw,” Jigsaw would be a great option to dress up as. Imagine people’s faces when you come up to them to ask if they want to play a game!
