The holiday season is upon us: we’ll soon be feasting upon pumpkins, followed by turkeys (plump and with tiny pilgrim hats), and, well, more turkeys (plumper and with tiny Santa hats). Since Halloween is closing in on us like the Grim Reaper, you’re probably thinking about what costume to wear if you haven’t ordered or sewn your own already.
Our Bored Panda witches and warlocks have been busy casting summoning spells and concocting the perfect list of Halloween costumes. We hope you’ll enjoy them and that they’ll inspire you to show everyone who’s boss while you’re out trick-or-treating and dancing all night long at your Halloween bash.
You think you love Halloween? Odds are, we love it more. Way more. In fact, I’m pretty sure that pumpkin juice flows through our veins. Check out Bored Panda’s posts about Halloween here, here, here, here, and here. It’s scary how many of these we’ve summoned from the Pumpkin Realm. [Roll of thunder followed by an evil cackle]

Halloween is a great time to let out your inner creative imp. Whether you want to show off to your friends, leave a great impression on that girl or boy that you like, or scare off spooky spirits like Sam and Dean from Supernatural, it’s imperative that you look good.
And for that, you need a costume. Something different from the crowd. Something that stands out. Something that hasn’t been done before.

However, there’s nothing new under the sun, so instead of going for total originality that might backfire, instead, go for something a bit unusual but make your costume well.
After all, it’s the quality of the costume and your ability to roleplay that pirate/knight/Jedi/superhero that counts most, not just impressing others with your innovative ideas. We’d rather dress to the nines as Castiel (some of us already wear trench coats almost daily) than pretend to be some niche character from some show nobody’s ever seen.

There are many traditions associated with Halloween and one of them has to do with keeping away fairies if you’re Irish or have ancestors back in the Land of a Thousand Welcomes. According to local folklore, if you don’t want your things stolen by those darn pesky fairies on October 31, you should dress up, carve faces into pumpkins, light blazing bonfires, and keep yourself surrounded by black cats. Otherwise, the fairies might get you. In fact, we heartily recommend surrounding yourself with cats throughout the year. Just in case.

This Pennywise Halloween Costume
Me and my kid last year. She went as Snow White... IMG_0488-5...17543b.jpg 
The girl who dressed up as Wednesday Addams and people just asked her why she didn't dress up for Halloween reminded me of when something similar happened to me... I dressed up as a Pink Lady (from Grease). I made my clothes and hair 50's style--I wore a high-waisted A-line skirt and a high-necked short sleeved sweater top (tucked into the skirt to give the classic 50's new look silhouette), and did my hair up in a high pony with a headband, and I had a Pink Ladies jacket left over from a high school production of Grease... but everyone who saw me at work just said "you look very nice today!" and I had to turn around to show them the Pink Ladies iron-on lettering on the back of my jacket. Oh well.
Laura, most people aren't all there upstairs, you know. Grease (the original) was my FAV. It was the only movie I saw about 4 times & I couldn't even afford to go to the first one. I wonder what they would have said had you dressed up as Olivia in those skin TIGHT pants LOL I'm sure you looked GREAT :)

Really a lot of extremely creative ideas!!! Awesome! (Still some don´t get the concept of Halloween. It´s about Death, Horror and ghost world)
Nah, Halloween is about being anything you want to be.

Wow that’s incredible! When I first looked at it, I thought you photoshopped yourself into the poster. It takes real skill to put together a costume that well.❤️❤️

People take Halloween so seriously! I've never known anyone dress up other than the occasional mask, face paint or store bought costume. If some of these arrived at my door I'd totally freak out!
You know the order is not fixed, right? So which one was your 69th?

These are all so insanely creative and fun! Wonderful post!
I'm old enough that we used to just buy the cheap costumes from K-mart and call it good. My son picked out a prisoner costume - a jumpsuit with the white and black stripes and the little cotton striped hat. I painted a thin mustache on him and out we went. And people would say, "And what are you dressed up as?" He would answer "A zebra!!" I didn't have the heart to tell him....
How can I submit my family’s costumes??!! When I upload it never works 🤷🏽♀️😕

What is up with parents putting their kids in costumes from totally kid inappropriate media?
How far you want to go back? Parents have dressed their kids up as ghosts, pirates, zombies, famous 80s slasher movie icons....for decades. Are you even a parent?
