Jim from ‘The Shining
If you’re a fan of classic horror movies, then dressing up as the iconic Jack Torrance from The Shining is a great choice for Halloween. It’s also an ideal outfit if you’re planning on hosting your own horror movie marathon.
Joker and the Harley Quinn
If you can’t decide between dressing up as a horror movie villain or comic book bad guy, then why not dress up as both. This is a great choice for couples who are looking to show off their love of cosplay this Halloween.
It is also a great option if you are attending a con or a fancy dress party and want to stand out from the crowd.
Black-Eyed Kids
If you love a good urban legend, then this is the perfect choice for your Halloween costume! The black-eyed kids are said to be two children with completely black eyes who approach strangers in order to gain access into their house. This usually happens at night time when the stranger is walking alone.
This costume is great for people who like to do make-up effects. It is also the ideal outfit if you are hosting a Halloween party because horror fans will love talking about their encounters.
Wicker Man
If you want to get creative with your style this year, then why not dress up as ‘The Wicker Man’? This outfit is perfect for fans of the horror movie, which was released in 1973 starring Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee.
Captain Jack Sparrow
It’s no surprise that dressing up as the pirate captain Jack Sparrow is a top choice for Halloween costumes because Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the character in Pirates of the Caribbean is one of his most iconic roles.
This is a great outfit for couples who want to stand out from the crowd at their Halloween party or anyone who loves Jack Sparrow’s unique style.
Pennywise the Clown
A great choice for fans of Stephen King’s IT who are looking to create a killer clown costume! We love this Pennywise outfit from Tim Curry in the 1990 television adaptation of It. But if you’re looking for an even more terrifying clown, then try dressing up like John Wayne Gacy or The Joker instead.
Devil
Dressing up as a devil is a great choice for couples who are looking for something different from the typical dark, scary costumes that you see at Halloween. This outfit is perfect for someone who wants to seem mysterious and sexy all in one go.
If you’re going to dress as Satan, then it might be fun to host a black mass so that your guests can learn more about the origins of Halloween.
Maleficent
Dressing up as the villain from Disney’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’ is great for couples who are looking to incorporate their love of cosplay into their costumes.
