With Halloween just around the corner, it is time to start planning the perfect costume. Whether students are planning to dress up with their friends, partner, or just one other person, there are plenty of fun and creative ideas to choose from. Try something unique like a painter and their artwork, a moth and a lamppost, or a frog and Princess Tiana. For horror fans, Chucky and Tiffany make for a classic, and creepy, pair. The painter-and-art concept allows for artistic flair with makeup or face paint, while the moth and lamppost costume is a quick and clever option for couples short on time.
Consider going as characters from Mario, Scooby-Doo, Mean Girls, Powerpuff Girls, or Bratz. Larger groups can get creative with costumes like Gru and his Minions- just imagine running around yelling, “Tonight we steal the candy!” Or, go full retro with a group of Teletubbies, or even traffic cones (though that one takes some prep). Bratz-inspired outfits are a stylish way to show off fashion or makeup skills. Don’t forget a jacket if it is cold. Some fun duo ideas include the Black Swan and White Swan, a chicken and a bucket of KFC, Mike and Sully from Monsters, Inc., Bo Peep and a lamb, Rapunzel and Pascal, Snoopy and Woodstock, or even a pair of sneakers. Halloween is all about creativity, candy, and having fun with others—so do not stay inside. Get out there and make this spooky season one to remember.
