If you need a last-minute Halloween costume idea then this article is for you. Here are over 200 creative Halloween costumes for groups, duos, or anyone riding solo. You’re welcome. I’m the Editorial Director at BuzzFeed — where I’ve reported on TV, film, and lifestyle trends (travel, fitness, and food) since 2013 — and I also post about the latest in pop culture news to my 850k+ followers on TikTok. "Our skirts were made from the actual bags of wine that we sewed together with ribbon!" "I made the horns using Worbla, created a fake Runway cover, and glued a printed Prada logo onto a random purse. People seemed to really like the idea and execution. I had a blast!" "All of the pieces were removable, and the nose even lit up when I turned it on. One of my favorites!" "My work department does a group theme every year (and we always win first place in the company-wide costume contest). In 2017, we dressed in a The Wizard of Oz theme, and I went as the Emerald City." "My friends and I dressed up as Kuzco, Yzma, and Kronk. We put everything together from stuff we had around the house, and luckily, I didn’t have to carry Yzma around all night!" "I made this costume a couple of years ago. It was definitely a ~slam dunk~." "My fiancé is an amputee, so we went as Ralphie and the leg lamp. He was fragile, but it was worth it!" "I got the inspiration from another person (Mark Liddell), but it’s absolutely been my favorite costume ever." "Don't mess with clowns in sewers, folks. Ain't worth it." "My girlfriend and I dressed as a werewolf and the full moon last year. Awoooooo!" "Anchorman, Zoolander, Kicking and Screaming, Semi-Pro, and Talladega Nights." "My take on Mia from Evil Dead, along with my homemade Necronomicon from my Ash Williams costume two years prior." "I handmade over 200 butterflies out of orange craft foam and paint for this Catching Fire costume." "We even ended the night with young Forrest running so the leg braces (made from curtain rods) would break off." "A couple of years ago, my two oldest kids went as Easy Mac, complete with a cheese sauce candy bag and the microwave to cook it in (the door even opened, which revealed his candy bowl 🤣). I made my own last-minute costume of some half-dead person with a zipper face." "A bit cheesy, but I went as Lara Kraft." "It took forever to make, but it was so worth it!" "We kept bumping into people and spilling drinks all night, but it was worth it." "Borrowed a shopping cart for the ultimate prop as Supermarket Sweep contestants. Best part was running around the office and throwing whatever we could into the cart!" "I even won my office's Halloween costume contest with this!" "I was Johannes Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' painting last year. I recreated the look with my own stuff. The head wrap was actually three bath towels. It was very heavy to hold up." "Pro tip: always buy the solvent to remove the body paint." "We dressed up and were hanging out at Tegridy Farms. 😂" "It’s really hard to top this costume every year, as I love to design costumes for Halloween. This photo was from my husband's first Halloween (he’s from Japan), so I let him choose what we were, and I think it looks pretty lit (pun intended)!" "My friend made the costumes. She's very artistic, and I think she did a great job!" "My fiancé and I have made our own Halloween costumes for the last four years. For our first year, we were two sides of an Oreo. We even put Velcro on our cream center so we could compete all night to see which side of the cookie it would stick to." "My roommate and I went as CatDog to a themed party one year! Easy to make, nostalgic, and fun!" "My work bestie and I went as Snoop and Martha!" "We originally wanted to be the Tower of Sauron and Isengard, but we settled for Sexy Gandalf the Grey and White." "I love Halloween, and I especially love DIY-ing all my costumes." "I dressed as Lady Loki, and my boyfriend dressed as Thor. I made my entire costume. His is from the Halloween store, though he did make his own oversized hammer." "My husband and I were the Joker and Harley Quinn. Unfortunately, they were only selling the Suicide Squad versions of the costumes." "My boyfriend and I went as Hades from Hercules and Scar from The Lion King. We almost won $500 in a costume contest but were beaten out by a guy dressed as Mr. T." I went as Rafiki, and my friend went as Scar." "My boyfriend and I went as Cheech and Chong a couple of years ago. It was one of the easiest costumes to make and probably our best costume ever." "My department at work decided to do a Muppets theme, so I went as Beaker and made the mask myself (the mouth opens, so I could see out of it). The costume was a hit, and I have the mask on display in my home office now!" "My amazing wife hand-sews our costumes every year!" "I was the fridge, and my boyfriend was Gene. Utter perfection." "'See the name tag? You're in my world now, Grandma!' By far my favorite costume I've done with my fiancé!"
