Star Wars Halloween Costume - There is something classic about a Star Wars costume. Buy a Darth Vader Halloween costume, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Rey, Finn, or your other favorite Star Wars characters from an online Halloween costume store, such as Party City or Costume Discounters. Don't forget your light sabers!
Taylor Swift - Who can resist being famous? Swifties should wear their glittery Taylor Swift outfit and accessories.
Count Dracula and Vampire - Halloween is a great time for vampires to show their true selves. Don your black cape and sharp bloody teeth.
The Smith Family - Remember Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Dress up in family Halloween costumes as the Smith Family. Take those while shirts and jeans that you wore for your family portrait, slash them and shred them, and some blood (corn syrup and red food coloring) and your favorite weapons from an online Halloween costume store, and you have a unique Halloween costume idea for the family.
Homeless Family - Dress up as a homeless family, out of work and out of home. Carry your cardboard box saying "Homeless - Help Me Please" and collect your donations. Donate the funds to a homeless shelter in your area.
Paintball - Wear your Army gear and strap on your paintball guns and you are ready to go paintball on Halloween. These make good Halloween costumes for teenagers, who are happy to go trick-or-treating without mom and dad.
All American Family - Pull out you old July 4th streamers and party supplies, decorate your bikes and go on a fourth of July parade on Halloween. Use glow in the dark night sticks and put on a show.
Deck of Cards - Use poster board and create a set of cards. Works well for families and groups. Be the King, Queen and Jack of diamonds and wear your glittery diamonds too. Add a gold braided jacket or cape, and a crown from an online Halloween costume store.
Finding Nemo - Use poster board and felt or paint and create your favorite characters based on Finding Nemo. Be sure to act the part of each character for these unique Halloween costumes.
I Swallowed a Watermelon Seed - Wear a simple torn muslin dress, no makeup or shoes, with a watermelon design cut out and placed over your large tummy. Offer watermelon seeds to whoever is willing. Tell your story over and over again because you still can’t believe what happened when you swallowed a watermelon seed.
Hairy Beer Belly - A dirty white t shirt, a can of beer, an old baseball cap and some makeup or mask can transform you into a beer drinking husband, perfect for any pregnant woman.
Paternity Suit - Dress up in your sexiest attire and serve legal papers for a paternity suit. As an optional twist, be accompanied by your lawyer dressed up in a suit carrying a briefcase.
Painted Belly - Be proud of your preggo belly and show it off. Paint it with decorative face paint and coordinate with your costume. Ideas might be a jack-o-lantern, basketball, beach ball or big Easter egg. Be creative with these fun pregnant Halloween costumes!
Bun in the Oven - Build an oven using a cardboard box and wear it over your costume to show off your bun in the oven.
