Although it might seem like the best couples Halloween costumes are time-consuming endeavors, we’ve got great news: It’s never been simpler to pick up affordable, ready-made options online, no hot glue guns necessary. (You can always try out Halloween nails or spooky makeup looks if you’re itching for a project.)

We understand why you might have waved off easy costumes as boring and cookie-cutter in years past. But there are plenty of funny, nostalgic, and current combos you can order ahead of Halloween. If you’re an ’80s fan, the costumes from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Beetlejuice (the movie of the season) are just a few clicks away. Plus, we figured out how to channel The Bear for less than $20, pay homage to House of the Dragon via Amazon, and go full Challengers if you’re working through a situationship.

No matter where you’re headed this October, you’ll stand out from the crowd with these unique Halloween costumes. Now throw on a scary movie and get shopping!

Beetlejuice & Lydia DeetzSure, a teenager’s forced marriage to an evil spirit isn’t exactly the happiest moment in Beetlejuice, but these costumes might just be the original movie’s most iconic. It’s like prom night got a goth makeover.

ChallengersChallengers took over in the first half of 2024, but we’re predicting this will also be a big costume for couples (and situationships and throuples) for years to come. The film is chock-full of spicy duos. Whoever you choose, be it Tashi and Patrick, Patrick and Art, or Art and Tashi, the costume is relatively easy to pull off without all the added conflict of a love triangle.

Top GunAt this point, nearly everyone has seen Top Gun: Maverick. Whether you’re more Maverick and Charlie or Rooster and Phoenix, these instantly recognizable (and super-comfy) jumpsuits are A1 Halloween material.

Ferris Bueller’s Day OffEarn major movie throwback points when you go trick-or-treating as Ferris and Sloane. Their ’fits are perfect encapsulations of ’80s style, and we wouldn’t blame you if you kept some of these pieces in your everyday rotation—and played a little hooky yourselves.

Taylor Swift ErasCouldn’t get tickets to the Eras tour? Do the next best thing by dressing like your favorite T-Swift eras. Coordinate with these two Red-inspired looks or take inspiration from elsewhere in her catalog. (You could also go as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, just saying.)

Bonnie & ClydeA love story to end all love stories, Bonnie and Clyde are the gunslinging outlaws that still make a perfect couple’s costume 90 years after their crime spree. The all-out vintage look is one you can easily replicate with picks from Amazon—not to mention pieces you likely already have in your closet.

Hocus PocusWinifred, the Sanderson sisters’ ringleader, belongs front and center at any spooky event because she, like Hocus Pocus, remains a Halloween fave. And likable zombie Billy Butcherson (a.k.a. Winifred’s ex-boyfriend) makes a perfect complement.

Sesame StreetThe incredible benefit of dressing up as Muppets? You’ll get to wear giant onesies and be the absolute favorite person of every toddler you pass.

The Nightmare Before ChristmasIs it Halloween without an annual revisit to The Nightmare Before Christmas? Sure, there are more original couples’ Halloween costume ideas, but we love Jack and Sally so much that there’s no need to reinvent the wheel.

bratLonging to extend brat summer? The lifestyle and aesthetic of Charli XCX’s album are easy to incorporate into an instantly recognizable couple’s Halloween look. Slap some neon green on, bump “360,” and call it a day. This contender also makes for a perfect last-minute look.

House of the DragonCheap Halloween costumes can still be fun, even if you’re channeling the high fantasy world of Game of Thrones. Pair this wig with a dress and these wings with anything green, then go party like a King’s Landing local.

Mario & LuigiIt’s-a me, the perfect couple costume! Level up last year’s Halloween look by dressing as a pair of hardworking plumbers, otherwise known as Mario and Luigi.

A League of Their OwnWhether you’re nostalgic for the original A League of Their Own or a fan of Amazon’s recent remix series, now’s the time to dig up your ’90s Rockford Peaches costume out of deep storage—or pick up two new ones on Amazon.

FrankensteinWith enough creepy, campy charm to win your party’s costume contest, horror’s greatest couple is the perfect pick if you both love breaking out the face paint every October.

The Little MermaidNo matter which era of The Little Mermaid you choose—1989 or 2023—you’ll be set for your next costume party as one of Disney’s most beloved couples.

Little Red Riding HoodFairy tales have always provided plenty of inspiration for couples’ Halloween costumes, and we’ll take Little Red and the Big Bad Wolf over the likes of Hansel and Gretel any day.

The Addams FamilyIn the mood for some dark glamour? Go as Morticia and Gomez Addams, the ultimate goth-glam couple. Make it a full family affair by dressing your little ones as Wednesday and Pugsley—or get the dog involved. They also make great kids’ Halloween costumes.

Wine & CheeseThe only pairing better than the two of you? A bottle of vino and some fancy cheese. If you can’t beat ’em


SkeletonsIf your idea of a rocking Halloween putting on matching spooky jammies and handing out candy together, then these are perfect (and you can wear them all spooky season long).

Austin PowersGroovy, baby! Go to your next party as the world’s most shagadelic spy and a fembot—a sexy couples’ costume that’s still an incredibly fun pop culture reference.

Among UsGamer couples, you know what to do with these inflatable costumes. Just don’t get caught!

BridgertonAmazon has everything you’ll need to nail Bridgerton style—just grab an Empire-waist dress and style your hair in an updo, then dress your beau in coattails and black pants. Easy!

Velma & DaphneScooby-Doo’s best gal pals bring both the brains and the beauty—just like the two of you.

Scooby-Doo & ShaggyMeanwhile, these two are the slackers you’ve always wanted to be. Halloween is as good a time as ever to snack like Scooby and Shaggy.

Grimace & HamburglarNow that we’re all fans of Grimace, a giant taste bud with a namesake milkshake, this is the perfect Halloween to honor the guy. Make it a couples’ costume with the Hamburglar, a fellow McDonald’s mascot who’s been having a big year.

EncantoWe don’t talk about Bruno, but we should definitely have a chat about how cute these official Disney Encanto costumes are.

Bun in the OvenGot a baby on the way? Turn your bump into a costume with this cheeky pick, which turns mom into an oven and dad into a chef.

Plug & SocketNormally, we’d recommend keeping the horniness to a minimum, but this kit is so funny (and budget-friendly) that we’re giving it a pass.

The FlintstonesThrow it way back this spooky season and dress as one of TV’s most iconic couples: Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Yabba dabba doo!

Ketchup & MustardSometimes, the best couples’ Halloween costumes are the ones that require the least effort. There are no bodysuits, makeup palettes, or props here—just two easy sweatshirts, thank you very much.

Chocolate MilkAnother stellar entry in the “dress as gigantic objects” genre of Halloween costumes, this smooth, sweet duo is pure fun.

The ShiningFew pairs are as instantly recognizable as the ghostly twins from The Shining. Just make sure you practice your best creepy “Come play with us.”

InsuranceThe greatest love story of all time doesn’t involve a movie or a novel. Instead, it’s the cross-brand yearning between Flo from Progressive and Jake from State Farm.

Roaring ’20sSpin some sort of The Great Gatsby yarn out of these flashy, retro outfits—or create your own backstory about the flapper and her gangster paramour.

Bride of ChuckyThere’s no love story quite like the killer one between Chucky and Tiffany, which has claimed dozens of lives (and our hearts) in the process. Keep your sweeter couples—we’ll take our favorite killer dolls.

Talladega NightsShake and bake, baby! These two film-ready costumes are for the significant others who love a good laugh.

BaywatchIf you’ll be partying somewhere that won’t be frigid in late October, make the most of the weather with this sexy throwback to Baywatch-era Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff.

RobbersAll you’ll need to bring this devious couples’ Halloween costume idea to life is this kit, plus black leggings and a T-shirt. We can’t think of anything more effortless.

Avocado ToastAt less than $40, this two-for-one Halloween costume costs about as much as an avocado toast brunch. Millennials, this one’s for you.

Mickey & Minnie MouseIf you’re over all the traditional Disney couples—sorry, Aladdin and Jasmine; don’t look at us like that, Belle and the Beast—go a little more meta with Mickey and Minnie.

The SimsThrowing a Sims plumbob headband over your regular clothes (or a wild outfit you might give a video game character as a joke) is one of the easiest ways to get funny results with almost no effort.

CrayonsLet’s say you’ve already done all the classic couples’ Halloween costume ideas, and now you’re looking for something truly unique. You’re in luck: No one else at the party is going to be wearing these Crayola outfits.

The IncrediblesYou can keep your Marvel and your DC—the only superheroes we want to channel this year are the Incredibles.

SuccessionPrestige TV’s most successful (and least happy) power couple, Shiv Roy and Tom Wambsgans, has an affinity for turtlenecks, quilted vests, and baseball caps—everything you’d want to wear in October, anyway. Throw in an orange bob and a sense of superiority to really sell it.

The BearYet one more reason to love The Bear: Cheap couples’ Halloween costumes don’t get much better than this. All you need is a blue apron and a white tee to channel Carmy, then an Original Beef of Chicagoland shirt for any of the other characters. Yes, chef!

Sonny & CherForget the Joker and Harley Quinn—our favorite power couple for this year’s slate of Halloween parties is much groovier.

Popeye & Olive OylName a better duo than spinach-guzzling BF and droopy GF. We’ll wait.

Loofah & SoapGoing for a cute couples’ costume? We love this bubbly duo inspired by your shower routine—no tutorial or hot glue gun required.

Stranger ThingsIt’s time to put an end to the avalanche of Mike and Eleven couples’ costumes that have been haunting us since 2016. Celebrate your favorite series in a subtler way by dressing up as Steve and Robin in season four instead.

BeyoncĂ© & Jay-ZWe’re currently living through a new era of Beyoncé—but if you’re dressing up as Queen Bey and Jay-Z this season, we still love the silky suits from the cover of Everything is Love.

Wayne’s WorldWayne and Garth were ’90s grunge icons, and it doesn’t take much to re-create Aurora, Illinois’s best rock-band legends. The black hat does the heavy lifting (it’s hard to mistake Wayne’s World type for anything less), while the black frames and the wigs seal the deal.

Squid GameRelationships can be stressful at times, but at least there aren’t deadly consequences for stepping out of line.

Toy StoryDress as two of Andy’s very favorite toys and you’ll become an instant hit during neighborhood trick-or-treating.

Kim PossibleYou can totally go as Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, but there’s a little more to be said about the rivalry (and latent sexual tension) between the titular agent and supervillain Shego instead.

GreasePost-baddie Sandy and leather-clad Danny are a rite of passage for every couple come October. Give them a go already!

Barbie & KenSure, last year was the summer of Barbiecore, but we’re still very into these costumes that are, dare we say, a little bit sexy? (Another option for Ken? His instantly iconic Kenough hoodie.)

Flamin’ Hot CheetosUnfortunately, these costumes do not come with bags of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. (You could also skip the sexy dress and both don the human-size Cheeto, à la Katy Perry.)

Leonardo da Vinci & the Mona LisaA masterpiece if we’ve ever seen one, this artful Halloween costume is a touch more cerebral than your usual couples’ fare.

Fisherman & FishYou’re a catch. Make sure the world knows it with this fun costume idea.

King & Queen of HeartsListen, not every costume needs to be some elaborate character reference or play on words. Some of them can just be playing cards.

OktoberfestHalloween isn’t the only celebration this October. Celebrate Bavaria’s greatest export in costume with plenty of beer on hand.

Barbara & AdamNow that the sequel is one of the biggest movies of the year, we’re expecting lots of Beetlejuice costumes. The film is endlessly referenced and makes for a spooky good time every October. We’re looking to the original for this one: Barbara and Adam in their scariest forms. Plus, both half-masks come at a price point that’s hard to beat.

WickedAre you a good witch or a bad witch? Whichever you identify as, these Wicked costumes have you covered. Both ensembles are especially timely, given the film adaptation is set for a November release—not to mention covered-up enough for outdoor celebrations.

DeadpoolAnother film that was just about everywhere in 2024, Deadpool & Wolverine is catnip for comic book and film fans alike. This his-and-hers play on the Merc with a Mouth and Lady Deadpool is perfect for couples with plenty of banter.

DuneWe can all agree that Dune: Part Two was a cultural phenomenon. While we can’t all be the Lisan al Gaib or Chani, we can at least channel that same otherworldly energy thanks to Amazon. The costumes, consisting of a jumpsuit and hood, is relatively easy to put together, too.

FalloutWin points among video game fans with a Fallout couples’ costume. These Vault Dweller costumes capture the post-apocalyptic-meets-retrofuturism feel of both the games and the Amazon series; scuff them up a little for extra realism.

Tequila & LimeCheeky and classic, this duo never fails to please—both as a costume and as a shot and chaser. This pick is sure to win you some laughs at your next Halloween bash. (Bring a real bottle of tequila for bonus points.)

SaltburnSaltburn had everyone in a tizzy at the end of last year—and this is the first Halloween since it was released, meaning it’s still more than fair game. The look is easy to achieve with minimal effort, given the impact of both Oliver’s and Felix’s looks lays mostly in the accessories. (If you’ll be drinking, we suggest sipping out of a mini-bathtub.)

Bob RossNear-universally beloved for his calming energy and singular style, Bob Ross is a classic Halloween look that never fails, coupled or otherwise. Plus, this duo costume comes in under $30—thanks Amazon! (Extra points if someone else goes as one of Ross’ pet squirrels to match.)

Bee & BeekeeperLooking for couples costume ideas that are a little less obvious? Go as a bee and a beekeeper; they’re cute and playful without much fuss. Get extra with it and break out the face paint to channel your inner honeybee.

Power RangersWe love a nostalgic costume, and the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers certainly fits the bill. Red, yellow, blue, pink—no matter which color you choose, the costume is (sorry) super.

GhostbustersWho you gonna call? Ghostbusters is nothing short of iconic, meaning you won’t have to explain what you two are wearing. The best part? With the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire earlier this year, the franchise has been recently invigorated in a major way, making the costume especially timely.

ScreamNothing screams “Halloween” more than Scream (pun intended). We’re throwing it back to the ’90s for this one, channeling the first film in the bloodcurdling franchise with a Ghostface and Casey Becker look sure to turn (or bash) heads.

Princess Peach & Princess DaisyCampy and unique, princesses Peach and Daisy make for the perfect duo look whether you’re a fan of the video game series or not. Complete with gloves and bejeweled tiaras to match, these opulent picks will have you feeling like you just stepped out of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Chappell RoanDoes the year’s most ascendant pop star make a ton of sense as a couples’ Halloween costume? Not really. But hear us out: Why not? All of her festival looks this year have become instantly iconic, so you and your boo (or bestie) can each pick your favorite. Start with Gov Ball and Coachella, respectively.

“Please, Please, Please”Carpenters have the perfect excuse to channel their faves—Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan—this Halloween following the recent release of the pop star’s “Please, Please, Please” music video. Sexy and playful, these costumes give Bonnie and Clyde with a modern twist.

Kermit & Miss PiggyOne of the most famous couples in showbiz, Kermit and Miss Piggy are your answer for a playful and instantly recognizable costume. These masks carry the looks; accessories like a feather boa or an all-green ensemble will further drive home the Muppets-inspired costume.

Corpse BrideWith Tim Burton riding high this Halloween, go with another of the director’s most beloved duos. Victor and Emily marry the spooky and the playful, and these renditions of their costumes are realistic enough that even casual fans of the film will be impressed. This option also gives couples a chance to get experimental with their makeup.

Spongebob & PatrickPerfect for a couple or best friends, this cozy duo of costumes will delight parents and their kids alike. No accessories are required, unless you want to go full Bikini Bottom and carry around a spatula. This pick is sure to please ’90s babies and beyond.

Bert & ErnieAnother dynamic duo that’s both nostalgic and current, Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street make our favorite platonic (but secretly totally in love) couple. Add to the will-they-or-won’t-they lore this October.

While you can’t catch ’em all, this Ash Ketchum and Pikachu costume will at least net you plenty of compliments on Halloween—no PokĂ© Balls necessary.
