Halloween wouldn’t be the same without costumes, but finding a fresh and unique costume idea each year, especially for those of us who grew up in the last century, can be quite challenging.
To help you out and inspire your creativity, we’ve curated a collection of some incredibly creative Halloween outfits that have caught our attention.
Scooby Doo Halloween Family


This is super cute. We’re guessing it was the kids who made all the decisions as to who dressses up as who here.
Imagine walking for candy then seeing this
Here’s a reminder to stop feeding your dogs scraps. Or your sons and husbands steroids.

Not even the town’s pest control is getting near this giant… Whatever the heck it is.


Black hoods and cloaks are timeless
What we want to know is, who’s under the horse costume?


It’s her eyes that wins
Here’s to hoping that she actually won a prize for this. Medusa is… stunning!


Holy unholy!
As impressive and as horrifying as this is, you have to wonder just how long it took to create this costume.


Now start singing
Ursula was surely swamped (Lol) by little girls asking for pictures with her. In exchange for vocal chords probably.


Rosey the robot from The Jetsons
If you recognize who she is, then consider yourself old. Still, brilliant costume though!


Krampus
Not everyone knows what this is. But if you do, don’t soil yourself tonight.


We’re singing too
Yes we’re Rickrolling thanks to this dude. He’s never gonna… Never gonna… You’re welcome.


Making plagues fashionable
The mask has enough space to accommodate an N95 respirator, and the device she’s holding contains hand sanitizer in its atomizer.


Zamunda to Queens
You would have to be a fan to understand the reference. That, or we’re all getting old.


Letting kids be creative
It’s wholesome, fun, and cute all at the same time.


They’re creepy and they’re kooky
Mysterious and spooky. They’re all together ooky. And people come to see them for sure.

This is beyond impressive. Imagine all those kids dressed up as Spider-Man reacting to him.


It’s a jolly holiday with Mary
She’s really put in a lot of time and effort into her costume. It’s just supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!


That’s the spirit
This amazing lady got hit by a car the previous year but she’s not sulking about it.


Victorian ghost
It sounds so simple but this was very creative of her. Pretty spooky too!

This costume is brilliant. And besides, mermaids really were monsters in folklore.


Agatha Trunchbull
“I cannot for the life of me understand why small children take so long to grow up. I think they do it deliberately, just to annoy me.”


Sweeney Todd
If ever there was a series being shot for this character, this guy is definitely it for the lead role.


Incorporating that wheelchair
A disability shouldn’t hinder anyone from enjoying life. She’s truly admirable.
