25 Group Halloween Costumes
So, your crew decided to roll up to Halloween in style, and now you’re scrambling for ideas?
Trust me, I’ve been there. Group costumes can either make you look like legends—or that awkward bunch people politely smile at before moving on.
The good news? I’ve rounded up 32 group Halloween costume ideas that are fun, creative, and totally doable (no 12-hour DIY disasters required).
Whether you’re a squad of three or a whole mini army, I’ve got something that’ll make your group the star of the party. Let’s get into it.
1. Classic Ghostbusters
You can never go wrong with Ghostbusters. Jumpsuits, proton packs, and maybe one friend dressed as Slimer—done.
Bonus points if someone carries around a toy ghost trap and yells, “Who you gonna call?” every 10 minutes.
2. Scooby-Doo and the Gang
Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and of course, Scooby. If you’ve got a fifth friend, problem solved. If not, IMO, Velma alone could carry the whole look (she always did).
3. Stranger Things Crew
Perfect for groups with a mix of styles. Some of you can rock the Hawkins Middle AV Club vibe, while others channel Eleven with an Eggo box.
Just don’t all fight over who gets to be Eddie—someone has to sacrifice themselves to the Demobats. :/
4. Barbie Movie Ensemble
This one’s a hit post-2023. Everyone dresses as a different Barbie or Ken. Weird Barbie? Check. Cowboy Ken? Double check. It’s colorful, it’s fun, and it’s instantly recognizable.
5. The Addams Family
Want spooky but still classy? Go for Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, and Uncle Fester. If your group is extra, bring Cousin Itt into the mix.
6. Mean Girls in Pink
This one’s for the people who want to look good without trying too hard. Show up in pink outfits and maybe carry a Burn Book. Remember: On Wednesdays, we wear pink.
7. Mario Kart Racers
DIY cardboard cars, suspenders, and colored shirts for each character. Imagine entering a party and pretending to throw banana peels behind you. Legendary.
8. Harry Potter House Squad
Sort your group into Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff robes. Add wands and maybe one person as Dobby for comic relief.
9. The Avengers
There’s always that one friend who insists on being Iron Man, but hey—someone’s gotta do it. Fill in the team with Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Black Widow.
10. The Incredibles
Matching red spandex suits = instant recognition. This works well for families too. If you’ve got a baby in the group, congrats—they’re automatically Jack-Jack.
11. Spice Girls
Easy, nostalgic, and fabulous. Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger, and Posh—pick your persona and own it.
12. Pac-Man and Ghosts
One person rocks the Pac-Man look, while the rest wear ghost costumes in pink, blue, orange, and red. Simple but hilarious.
13. The Simpsons
Marge’s hair is basically a costume in itself. Add Homer, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, and you’re golden. If you’re feeling bold, paint yourselves yellow.
14. Star Wars Crew
So many options here: Jedi, Stormtroopers, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Baby Yoda (yes, I know it’s Grogu, calm down). Basically, you can’t mess this one up.
15. Rock, Paper, Scissors
This one’s for groups of three who want something super low-effort but funny. Giant cut-outs, some cardboard, and boom—you’re the whole game.
16. The Flintstones
Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty make for a fun, prehistoric vibe. Extra credit if someone rolls in with a fake stone-age car.
17. Minions and Gru
Yellow shirts, overalls, goggles—you’re already halfway there. Throw in a Gru with a scarf, and you’re good.
18. Alice in Wonderland Characters
Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and the Cheshire Cat. Perfect for whimsical friend groups who love bold colors and eccentric outfits.
19. Pirates of the Caribbean
Channel Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and the Black Pearl crew. Throw in a bottle of rum (fake or real—up to you).
20. Toy Story Squad
Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Rex, and even Mr. Potato Head. If you’ve got a bigger group, add Barbie and Ken.
21. The Office Cast
Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, Jim Halpert, and Pam Beesly. Bonus if someone brings a World’s Best Boss mug.
22. Grease
Leather jackets, poodle skirts, and slicked-back hair. Easy to pull together and instantly iconic.
23. Willy Wonka and the Oompa-Loompas
One Willy, a group of Oompa-Loompas, and you’re set. The green hair wigs sell it every time.
24. Inside Out Emotions
Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. Each friend picks an emotion and dresses the part. Honestly, it’s way too relatable.
25. Pokémon Trainers and Pokémon
Half the group goes as trainers, the rest as Pokémon. Or, if you’re competitive, have everyone dress as different evolutions of the same one.
Tips to Nail Group Halloween Costumes
Okay, so you’ve picked your group costume—now what? Here are a few pro tips I learned the hard way:
- Coordinate early. Don’t wait until Oct. 30th to decide who’s bringing what. Someone always flakes.
- Assign roles. If you all want to be the main character, it’ll get messy. (Sorry, but only one person can be Barbie.)
- Keep comfort in mind. Spandex looks cool until you’re four hours into a party and can’t breathe.
- Add props. Even a cheap accessory can make the outfit pop.
- Have fun with it. The best group costumes are the ones where you’re laughing all night, not stressing about being “perfect.”
