Duo Costumes

  1. Charlie Brown and Snoopy

    To dress as Charlie Brown, wear his classic yellow shirt with a thick black zigzag across and black pants or a black skirt. To go as Snoopy, wear all white with a cute pair of beagle ears.

  2. Velma and Daphne from Scooby Doo

    If you plan to go as Velma, wear glasses, an orange turtleneck, and a red miniskirt. For Daphne, wear a purple dress, green neckerchief, and purple headband. 

  3. Sun and Moon

    To be the Sun, dress in all gold and make a sunray crown. For the moon, dress in all silver and make a moon crown. To add extra pizazz, have the sun wear all gold jewelry and the moon wear all silver!

  4. Coraline and Wybie from Coraline

    For Coraline, purchase a short blue wig, yellow rain jacket, and striped leggings, as well as a pair of yellow rain boots. To be Wybie, find an oversized black biker jacket, combat boots, and a welding mask.


Individual Costumes

  1. Fairy

    Wear shimmery fairy wings and a summer dress. A cottage-core dress with something that resembles a corset would look cute as well! For an extra touch, weave a flower crown!

  2. Corpse Bride

    Find a white dress and distress it by ripping it, dirtying it, cutting it. Then do the same with a veil and adorn it with dark flowers. Find a long dark blue wig if you are able. For added effect, use blue makeup for a pale blue skin tone. If you do makeup, emphasize the cheekbones and sunken eyes. 

  3. Beetlejuice or Lydia Deetz

    To dress up as Beetlejuice, purchase a black and white striped suit. Find a crazy green wig and use makeup to accentuate the eyes. To be Lydia, either find a long black wig or style your hair like her signature spiky bangs. Wear all-black clothing and carry a vintage camera. You could also wear a big red tulle dress, another one of her iconic outfits in the movie.

  4. Butterfly

    To be a butterfly for Halloween, wear all black and find a pair of antennae and colorful wings.

  5. Shrek

    To go as Shrek, wear a beige long-sleeve shirt with a dark brown vest overtop and brown pants. There are also some green knit hats available for purchase that resemble his ears.

  6. Spiderman or Spider-Gwen

    To go as Spiderman, purchase his black and red suit. For Spidergwen, buy her pink and white suit. They each have unique pairs of shoes as well. Spiderman wears black, white, and red Jordans. Spider-Gwen wears ballet shoes.
