Our favorite movies and television shows are loaded with Halloween costume inspiration. Seriously, Halloween night is the perfect time to transform into some of the most iconic characters to ever show up on the big screen. And if this Halloween has had you in an especially tight spot when it comes to thinking up the best Halloween costume of all time, start with some of your favorite characters and let your costume materialize from there.
You could go for a scary look and recreate a look from a classic horror film. Or you could pick from one of the several dramas, sitcoms and action series populating Netflix, Hulu or Disney + today. A throwback from the 90s or even the 80s could also make a great costume. And you can never go wrong with a memorable Disney hero or super villain. If you need a last-minute costume, you may want to keep it simple and think of characters that have looks you can easily pull together from your own wardrobe. Think The Office or Ted Lasso.
Even if you're aiming to pull together a group costume or coordinate costumes for the entire family, our list includes squads like The Plastics from Mean Girls and The Pearsons from This Is Us. If that isn't enough to sell you on a Halloween costume, continue to scroll down to find your perfect match.
Not only will your costume be a hit, it's really easy to recreate, especially if you already have a little black dress.
