Dressing up for Halloween is already a blast, but coordinating with your besties is even more fun. However, don’t settle for average group Halloween costumes. You want something that puts the fright in Fright Night. From trick-or-treating to a night in watching scary movies or a night out at a Halloween party, October 31st never disappoints. If you’re searching for cool group Halloween costumes, we’ve rounded up 65 ideas that are the definition of #squadgoals. That includes Santa-clad Mean Girls, iconic SNL sketch characters, the Sanderson sisters and Rockford Peaches—just for starters. Read on to find an ensemble of costumes that will win you first prize at the contest.

Funny Couples Costumes to Try This Halloween


1. Despicable Me

This goes two ways. Each member of your crew can dress up as a character (Gru, Margot, Edith, Agnes, Vector, El Macho, Lucy, Dr. Nefario etc.) or you can go as a mischief of minions. (Yep, a group of minions is called mischief.) I usually rope at least two friends to dress up with me as my favorite yellow henchmen, and we do it with the things already in our closets: Overalls, yellow shirts and black shoes. (It also helps that most of us already wear glasses.)

2. PJ Masks

“I’m all about low-effort, ultra-comfy costumes, so when my daughter was really into PJ Masks, we bought her a Catboy costume,” says PureWow Vice President of Editorial Candace Davison. “I ironed some homemade decals onto sweatshirts and taped posterboard masks onto old pairs of glasses so my husband and I could be her trusty sidekicks, Owlette and Gekko. Confession: When I'm low on laundry, I’ll still throw on the sweatshirt and run errands—it never fails to make kids smile.”

Shop similar styles: Catboy Costume ($37; $26); Owlette Costume ($27); Colored Poster Board ($23; $15)

3. Bags of Chips

“This idea came from my kids and we really got into it,” says PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint. “I made the costumes myself using multicolored trash bags, but you can easily buy store-bought ones if cutting holes in plastic isn’t your thing.”
