21 Couples Halloween Costumes
Halloween sneaks up on us every single year, doesn’t it? One second you’re sipping a pumpkin spice latte, and the next—bam!—your friends are texting about a costume party, and you’ve got zero ideas.
Sound familiar? Same here. But don’t stress, because I’ve got you covered with 21 couples Halloween costumes that range from hilarious to downright iconic.
Plus, most of these can be pulled together with stuff you already own (or at least stuff you can snag on Amazon two days before the party).
1. Barbie & Ken
Thanks to the movie hype, this one’s basically the costume of the decade. All you need are bright neon outfits, oversized sunglasses, and some confidence. Ken’s all about the rollerblades, and Barbie? Well, she’s everything.
Pro tip: If you don’t feel like matching exact outfits, just grab anything pink for Barbie and throw Ken in some 90s “bro” gear. Easy win.
2. Gomez & Morticia Addams
Want something timeless? Go with The Addams Family royalty. Morticia’s sleek black dress is pure elegance, while Gomez rocks a pinstripe suit and mustache. It’s dark, it’s spooky, and it’s classy all at once.
Ever notice how this couple is still relationship goals after all these years? Same.
3. Vampire & Victim
Nothing screams Halloween like vampires. One of you gets to play the glamorous bloodsucker, while the other goes dramatic with fake bite marks and “blood.” It’s creepy, but in a fun way—kind of like a low-budget horror film that still gets good ratings.
4. Bonnie & Clyde
Okay, so they weren’t exactly role models, but they sure were iconic. Think 1920s gangster vibes—fedoras, suspenders, trench coats, and a little bit of danger.
Bonus: You can add toy guns for the full effect (but maybe keep them at home if your party involves security checkpoints).
5. Peanut Butter & Jelly
This one’s for the pun-loving duo. You literally become everyone’s favorite sandwich. You can buy pre-made PB&J costumes online, or DIY with cardboard, felt, and a hot glue gun. Quirky? Yes. Adorable? Also yes.
6. Mario & Princess Peach
A gamer couple’s dream. Mario’s overalls and red cap are iconic, while Peach’s pink dress makes her instantly recognizable. Just be prepared for a lot of “It’s-a me!” jokes all night long.
7. Ghostbusters & Ghost
Who you gonna call? One of you suits up as a Ghostbuster, the other throws on a ghost costume (even an old sheet works). Not only is this hilarious, but it also fits the spooky theme perfectly.
8. Pirate & Treasure Chest
This one’s fun and a little cheeky. One of you dresses as a classic pirate, complete with a hat and eyepatch, while the other is the treasure chest full of gold. Everyone will love the creative twist.
9. Jack & Sally (The Nightmare Before Christmas)
If you’re into spooky romance, Jack and Sally are the couple to channel. Jack’s pinstripe suit and Sally’s patchwork dress are instantly recognizable, and you can even get creative with face paint.
10. Cowboy & Cowgirl
Simple, classic, and ridiculously easy to pull off. Boots, plaid shirts, jeans, and hats. Done. If you want to spice it up, add some toy guns or lasso props.
11. Harry Potter & Hermione
If you grew up waiting for your Hogwarts letter (still waiting, btw), then this one’s a no-brainer. Robes, wands, and a little bit of wizarding charm.
12. Dracula & Bride of Dracula
Want full drama? Go with a vampire king and queen duo. Flowing capes, dramatic makeup, and maybe some fake blood dripping from the corners of your mouth. Perfect for couples who like to go big.
13. Stranger Things Couple
Think Eleven and Mike, or Hopper and Joyce. All you need are 80s-inspired outfits and maybe a box of Eggo waffles. Easy and very recognizable.
14. Doctor & Patient
This one’s cheeky and can go in a funny or spooky direction. One of you rocks scrubs or a lab coat, while the other gets creative with bandages, fake blood, or even a hospital gown.
15. Adam & Eve
Minimalist couples will love this one. Just grab skin-colored clothing (or body suits if you want to keep it PG) and add strategically placed leaves. Voilà—biblical but make it Halloween.
16. Zombie Couple
Honestly, this one never gets old. Tear up some clothes, smear on fake blood, and shuffle around like you just crawled out of The Walking Dead. The messier, the better.
17. Netflix & Chill
This one’s pure pun energy. One of you wears a Netflix shirt, the other rocks a “Chill” hoodie. Together, you’re everyone’s favorite way to kill time on a Friday night. Bonus points if you carry popcorn.
18. Frankenstein & His Bride
Another classic monster pairing that looks amazing. Frankenstein’s green face paint + bolts + stitches = instant hit. The bride gets the big hair with the lightning streak. Creepy but romantic.
19. Tourist Couple
The easiest DIY costume ever. Think Hawaiian shirts, cameras, fanny packs, and sandals with socks. The best part? You’ll be comfortable all night. And probably photobombing people on purpose.
20. Devil & Angel
A classic “opposites attract” vibe. One of you rocks the horns, tail, and red outfit, while the other floats in with a halo, wings, and white clothes. Cute, easy, and it gives you a reason to playfully argue over who’s the “bad influence.” 😉
21. Shrek & Fiona
Last but not least—everyone’s favorite swamp couple. Shrek’s green face paint and big ears make him instantly recognizable, while Fiona can go with either her human look or ogre form. Bonus if you carry around a plush Donkey.
Tips for Nailing Your Couples Halloween Costume
Alright, so you’ve got options. But before you start raiding your closet or panic-ordering from Amazon, let me share a few quick tips:
- Pick something both of you like. If one of you hates it, it’ll show.
- Comfort matters. You don’t want to spend all night adjusting itchy wigs or sweating in a polyester suit.
- Add small details. Props (like wands, swords, fake blood) make costumes pop.
- Own it. Even the silliest costumes work if you wear them with confidence.
Final Thoughts
So there you have it—21 couples Halloween costumes that range from spooky and classic to funny and modern. Whether you want to be Barbie and Ken, PB&J, or Shrek and Fiona, the key is to pick something that makes you both excited to show up to the party.
At the end of the day, it’s not about winning “Best Costume” (though let’s be real, that feels amazing). It’s about having fun together, laughing at yourselves, and maybe—just maybe—scaring a few people along the way.
