If ever you needed a great excuse to transform yourself into someone else for a night, Halloween is it. Whether you’ve been planning this year’s costume since November 1, 2021, or you're just getting started in your search for something fun-yet-comfortable to take your kids trick-or-treating in, the choices you have are practically endless. To ensure you don’t wind up overwhelmed and scrambling to cut holes in your bedsheets for a last-minute ghost ensemble, we’ve scoured one of the biggest retail sites on the web for the most perfect picks imaginable. Yes, friends, we’re talking about Amazon Halloween costumes.

How We Chose the Best Amazon Halloween Costumes

A great Halloween costume should be one that’s recognizable enough that you won’t have to launch into a monologue to explain what you're supposed to be every five minutes. It should be comfortable enough to wear for several hours (without something falling off or needing to be reattached), and, most importantly, it should be something that reflects your personality.

Taking all of the above into account, we found 35 costumes that reflect the current pop culture landscape for 2022, paying homage to characters from popular movies or TV shows, superheroes, talked-about figures and more. We also considered quality, function and design, seeking out options that will be authentic without the addition of too many other accessories or accoutrements. Additionally, we scoured reviews from previous buyers.
