"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

It's officially mid-October, which means Halloween will be here before you can say, "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!" Whether you’re a huge fan of the holiday or your friends force you to dress up with them each year, going out in a group costume is way more fun than ghouling around solo. After all, imagine showing up to a party as just Barbie when you can bring Ken along, too. (Oh, and don't forget about Midge.)

Not only will you win all the costume contests and take the cutest snaps, but think about all the bonding time you’ll get to spend brainstorming and crafting! (Or ordering a ready-to-wear costume online.) If you want to keep it simple, you can wear M&M's or Crayola t-shirts. You can also go the IYKYK pop culture route by dressing up as the Roys from Succession, or a killer whale—those that get it, get it.

Whether you love to DIY or would rather leave that to the pros at Party City, these are the 85 best group Halloween costumes of 2023. Text the group chat ASAP.

'Love Island' Contestants

A new bombshell has entered...the Halloween party! Although it's fall, reminisce about warmer days by dressing up as your favorite islanders. All you really need for this costume is some resort wear. Think: Hawaiian shirts and cutout dresses. Oh, and don't forget a mic belt to pull the look together. Sure, your costume may not be glaringly obvious, but at least you'll be the best dressed geezer at the gathering and ready to pull anyone for a chat.

'Heartstopper' & Romance Book Characters

Thanks to BookTok, romance novels and their television adaptations are having a moment. This Halloween, why not dress up as your favorite romance character? From the Heartstopper students to The Summer I Turned Pretty crew, the options are endless. Don't forget to stock up on some blue paint to recreate that iconic TV moment with Kit Connor's Nick (IYKYK).

Freediver & Creatures of The Sea

Hear me out: The sea had a moment in 2023. From the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible, Orcas attacking tourist boats, and seemingly everyone's fascination with freediving, all anyone could talk about is the motion of the ocean. So for this Hallow's Eve, why not go as your favorite nautical characters? Hey, you'll get points for creativity at the Halloween party, at the very least!

'The Dark Knight' & Other Christopher Nolan Movies

This group costume idea is for all my cinephiles out there. With the success of Oppenheimer, people are sure to be talking about the man, the myth, the legend Christopher Nolan's entire visual canon. For Oppenheimer, all you need are some khakis, a tan tie, and dark brown trench—not to mention, a haunting glare...JK? For Interstellar, opt for a space suit.

'Barbie' & Barbies

The Barbie movie truly gave the world a cornucopia of Halloween costume inspiration. Here's a good one: Barbie and (get this?) other Barbies. Each friend gets to choose their favorite Barbie–or Ken–to play. The hardest decision will mostly likely be who gets to be stereotypical Barbie and Allan, obvi. One thing's for sure: Last one to call dibs has to be Midge—sorry, not sorry.

'Barbie' Anti-Patriarchy Squad

Talk about a comfy costume. If you and the girls want to take inspiration from the Barbie movie this Halloween, but don't want to go all out with the Barbiecore, opt to be members of Barbie Land's anti-patriarchy task force. Grab your pink jumpsuits and get ready to ambush the Mojo Dojo Casa House...er, the Halloween frat party. Leave her alone, patriarchy Ken!

Ember & The Elements From 'Elemental'

If you're a big Pixar fan (ahem, *raises hand*) then you're probably already eyeing a costume inspired by the studio's new movie Elemental. Fire and water may clash in the natural world, but in the world of Disney—and cute costumes—they're a perfect pairing.

Ariel & 'The Little Mermaid' Characters

With the massive success of The Little Mermaid live action movie (hello, can we talk about Halle Bailey's performance?) and the rise of Mermaidcore, you're sure to spot a few mermaids this Halloween. Hop on the trend early by grabbing your mermaid tale—and a few fishy friends, too. You can each play one of King Triton's daughters or someone can play Ariel (you, obvi) while everyone else is a member of her sea squad. Because who is Ariel without Sebastian?

Archie & The 'Riverdale' Squad

Riverdale's TV reign is officially over—meaning there's no better time to honor Archie, Toni, and the rest of the squad than this Halloween. Plus, because the show's timeline spans nearly a decade, you've got plenty of costume options.

Kendall & The Roys From 'Succession'

Dress up as one of modern TV's most iconic families. The "L to the OG" shirt, of course, is perfect for a Kendall costume, and chances are, your friend group's Shiv already has a black turtleneck in their closet. For Logan and Roman, you'll just need suit jackets, button-ups, slacks, and ties, all of which you can pretend you didn't get on Amazon. Cue the theme music.

Veronica & The 'Heathers'

Whether you're a fan of the '80s film or the musical, you and your three best frenemies will look good as hell in these matching sets. Croquet mallets optional.

The Pink Ladies From 'Grease'

If you've already done Heathers, dress as one of the OG girl groups this Halloween. (FYI, your Frenchy will want to buy this wig.) Just one rule: If any guys are tagging along, they've got to wear T-Bird leather jackets.

Cans of La Croix

This party season, BYOB (literally). You and your crew can dress up as matching cans of La Croix, or if soda is more your thing, go as some cans of Coke or Pepsi—or even a nice cold beer.

Wednesday & The Addams Family

Counting down the days 'til Netflix's Wednesday returns? Me too. Why not channel that excitement into a killer trio of Halloween costumes? All you'll need are the perfect wigs, all-black 'fits, and some dark lipstick.

Rue & The Kids From 'Euphoria'

If you've been dying to use some face glitter (or reenact Cassie's memorable bathroom breakdown), grab your girls and dress up as Rue, Maddy, and the rest of Euphoria High's extremely trendy, talked-about students.

Jolly Ranchers

It's Halloween, so naturally, candy-themed costumes are always in style. Just choose your favorite flavor, and get ready to take the cutest group shot for Instagram.

Inflatable Tube Dancers

If you want to go real wacky with your group costume this year, look no further. Each suit is fully inflatable and features that classic smiling face you've come to know and love on the side of the road. You'll be guaranteed to grab everyone's attention all night long.

Tom Cruise & The 'Top Gun' Flight Crew

Any opportunity to wear a bomber jacket and aviator sunglasses needs to be taken. Because who doesn't have the need, the need for speed candy on Halloween? The whole squad can transform into a crew of mavericks this October.

Emojis

Let your inner emoji out this Halloween. With a wide range of options and something that's pretty easy to DIY, this is a great costume option for a large group. 🎃 🍬 👻

'The Price is Right' Contestants

Looking for an incredible group costume this Halloween? Come on down! This set of The Price is Right-inspired costumes come with four different podiums, plus an attached microphone and the classic price tag name tag. Dibs on competing in the Showcase Showdown!

Pac-Man Party

Take it back to the '80s with this Pac-Man group costume. Between the ghosts, fruit bonus, and the main characters themselves, Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, there are plenty of options for the whole gang. Time to hit the arcade!

Eleven & The 'Stranger Things' Kids

Now that you've binged the fourth season of the hit series, the Stranger Things season five countdown can officially begin! Show your fandom off with this group costume—although no guarantees you won't start seeing weird things happening around town. And don't forget a Demogorgon headband for your favorite furry friend.

Cher & The 'Clueless' Girls

Like this plaid-clad crew would ever go out of style—as if! Bring back one of the best movies of the '90s (okay, let's not talk about that whole kissing your stepbrother thing) this Halloween with the ultimate girl group costume. Start practicing your hair flip now.

'Barbie' Workout Class Members

Now that Barbie is streaming soon, you can bet everyone will be rewatching that now-iconic rollerblading scene with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. If you can't commit to wheeling your way through the Halloween party, you can still sweat it out, Barbie style. The key to this look is neon pink, neon pink, and more neon pink. Well, that and matching headband and sweatbands.

Woody & The 'Toy Story' Crew

Did Lightyear have you feeling nostalgic? Good thing that dressing up like the OG Toy Story characters will always bring a smile to people's faces. Plus, you can always add extra beloved Pixar toys to the mix as more people RSVP to your Halloween party. Ahem, don't forget Rex and Mr. Potato Head.

Alice & 'Alice in Wonderland' Characters

For a whimsical Halloween, dress up as your favorite characters from Wonderland. The Cheshire Cat is here with his broad grin, and the Queen of Hearts is ready to play some high-stakes croquet. Don't forget to stop by the Mad Hatter's tea party!

Highlighter Set

Light up Halloween! With multiple colors available, you and your friends can be a complete set or expand your costumes into other office necessities. You'll be the highlight of the party (get it?).

Dorothy & 'Wizard of Oz' Characters

It's time for a trip down the Yellow Brick Road. This group costume is a classic for a reason. Plus, you'll have a perfect excuse to bring a furry friend along for the ride. Unfortunately, if you want to get home from the party, you can't just click your heels together—you still have to call an Uber.

Set of Dominos

There are a ton of options with this costume, so it's perfect for large groups. Plus, it's an easy DIY option if one of your friends has a crafty side. Bonus points if you guys can pull off the whole falling down one-by-one thing.

Chuckie & 'The Rugrats'

In the words of Tommy Pickles, "A baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do." And this time, it means dressing up like your favorite Rugrats characters for Halloween. Bonus points if you've got a dog to dress up as Reptar.

BLT

Classic trio Halloween costume, classic sandwich combo, or both? That question can be easily answered. Not as easy? Deciding who gets to be everyone's favorite part: the bacon.

'Legends of The Hidden Temple' Teams

Talk about a throwback. Rep the Red Jaguars, Blue Barracudas, Green Monkeys, Orange Iguanas, Purple Parrots, and Silver Snakes from the classic kids game show this Halloween. Bonus points if one of you dresses up as Olmec.

'Care Bears'

Raise your hand if you also had a cuddly Care Bear stuffed animal when you were growing up! Share the love with your family by dressing up as the classic friends from the Kingdom of Caring. Oh, and ICYDK, the patch on each bear's stomach is meant to represent their personality, so you'll have a fun time together picking out who is who.

LEGO Pieces

Put the pieces together with your friends this Halloween by going as multiple LEGOs in different colors. You can even buy a yellow LEGO mask and hands if you want to go all out. Get to building!

'The Golden Girls'

Is it too early to want to be retired and living in Miami (and eating Sophia's Italian food all day)? You and your cheesecake-loving crew can start your dream early this Halloween by dressing up as the Golden Girls. Thank you for being a friend.

Where's Waldos

What's harder than finding one Waldo at a Halloween party? Trying to find multiple Waldos at a Halloween party. Oh, and don't forget about Wanda and the evil Odlaw!

Ginger & The Spice Girls

You know what they say, if you want to be my lover, you gotta get with my friends (costume). Make your Halloween spooky and spicy by dressing up as the iconic British girls group (Ginger, Posh, Scary, Baby, and Sporty) with four of your besties. Start practicing your dance moves now.

'A League Of Their Own' Characters

Whether you're a fan of the OG movie, the Prime reboot, or both, rep the Rockford Peaches this Halloween. Each costume comes with the classic pink shirtdress, and a hat with a matching belt and socks to complete the look. Batter up!

'Jurassic Park' Guide & Escaped Dinosaurs

Given that Jurassic Park is a classic, you can bet there will be plenty of dinos wandering the streets this Halloween. Turn it into a group costume by repping a T-rex, triceratops, and velociraptor...and the one poor park employee who's just trying to make sure no one gets eaten. Bonus points if you can find a Chris Pratt lookalike to complete your squad.

Daphne & 'Bridgerton' Characters

Use Halloween to distract you from the long, exhausting wait for the third season of Bridgerton. Dress up as if you were one of the Bridgertons, or maybe even the Featheringtons. Make sure to have plenty of biscuits ready for your suitors as well as a feisty attitude for defying tradition.

Silver Knife, Fork & Spoon

This costume is perfect for you and your utensil-obsessed buddies! No one will expect you to show up to their Halloween party dressed as a knife, fork, and spoon, and I'd say that's a win.

Alexis & The Roses From 'Schitt's Creek'

If you can't get over that final episode of Schitt's Creek, why not be your fave TV fam for Halloween? Finally, you'll have the perfect excuse to put your Moira impression to good use (TBH, same). Grab your friends or real family, and make this your most fashionable Halloween yet!

Condiments

What's a sandwich without condiments? Nothing! And what's Halloween without friends? You get what I'm saying. There is no one you'd rather have by your side dressed up as mustard and pickle relish than your BFFs. (You might have to fight over who gets to be mayo ketchup, though...)

The Doctors From 'Grey's Anatomy'

You could dress up as the original interns that entered Seattle Grace Hospital. Or, if you made it past season 10, you might prefer to add some new characters to your group. Either way, showing up with the Cristina, Alex, and Derek to your Meredith will mark you as the proud Grey's fans you are. Best part: Scrubs make for one comfy costume!

Chips & Salsa

Here's the plan: Tell the person hosting the Halloween party that you'll bring the chips and salsa, and then, just show up like this. Genius plan! Okay, maybe also bring some actual chips and salsa so your host doesn't get too mad...While you're at it, why not grab a third BFF and make it a plate perfect for Taco Tuesday!

Rock Paper Scissors

This costume is all about context, so if you're willing to stick with your besties all Halloween, this is the one for you. I don't even know how you'll decide which costume you'll wear—maybe you could try playing rock, paper, scissors (ha!).

Winifred & The Sanderson Sisters From 'Hocus Pocus'

Hocus Pocus has become the classic Halloween movie, and with the release of Hocus Pocus 2 last year, it's still at the forefront of spooky pop culture. Make this year the one where you finally dress up as the Sanderson Sisters.

Crayons

You can't go wrong with being crayons for Halloween, especially if you're looking for an easy costume for a huge group. These t-shirts are especially perfect if you work at a school or daycare. Just remember that everyone needs to stick to their color!

Ina Garten & Celebrity Chefs

If you have a constant craving for all things Food Network, then you'll want to convince your friends to dress up as your fave celebrity chefs. Of course, you get dibs on the one and only Ina Garten!

The Ladies of 'Midsommar'

The equally beautiful, equally horrifying movie Midsommar came out a few years ago, but Florence Pugh's breakout role hasn't left anyone's mind. You and your gal pals can dress up as the ladies of Midsommar by pairing an embroidered white dress with a flower crown and lots of braids. It'll be the most beautiful you've ever looked dressed up like a horror movie!

S'mores

ISO a super cute and easy family costume ready to wear to all your Halloween events? Try this one. I have a feeling everyone is going to have a preference for what part of the s'more they get to be.

Powerpuff Girls

Even though the Powerpuff Girls aired 20 years ago, no one has lost any love for this superb group of gals. You and your two besties can be Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup this Halloween. Just snag these tees and style your hair to match your girl!

Velma & The 'Scooby Doo' Gang

They are legendary, after all, and with Max's adult series Velma here, everyone's sure to argue over who gets to be the queen bee. You won't regret the decision to make your friend group dress up as this iconic mystery-solving gang. Don't forget your Fred, and be sure to grab your furry friend to play Scooby-dooby-doo!

The Flintstones

A classic show makes for a classic costume. Nobody will be second-guessing who you are when your friend group walks in.

Jess & The Cast of 'New Girl'

They've been there for you when no one else has. They know how to make you laugh no matter what. No, I'm not talking about your real friends (although, I'm sure they're lovely). I'm obviously talking about the incomparable set of buddies from New Girl. Dressing up as these six people (can't forget Coach, who isn't pictured) should be the easiest decision you make all year. Deciding who gets to be Nick and Schmidt might be the hardest, however.

M&M's

You know what's great about M&M's? They all taste the same! And that might mean that nobody will be fighting over which color M&M they get to be. This group costume is especially fit for families, even if you have little ones–yay mini M&M's!

A Bunch of Harry Styles

It's prob no news to you that Harry Styles has served up some iconic looks over the years. Make your Halloween all about Harry by having you and your friends dress up as his most spectacular looks! Don't forget your green boa and pearl earring.

Progressive Flo & Other Insurance Mascots

So Flo's been around for a while now, but she's still going strong. Turn the classic Flo costume into a group costume by making each person in your group a different insurance mascot. It involves mostly khakis, but also a gecko?

Ghostbusters

So I know Ghostbusters is a classic costume, but I'm here to say that the 2016 version of the film deserves more attention, and you should dress up as them instead. This group of hilarious ladies kills it in this movie, so it only makes sense that you and your pals show up as your hilarious selves with the addition of ghost-fighting suits.

Winnie the Pooh & Friends

Venture to the Hundred Acre Wood in style! With enough t-shirts for the whole family or friend crew, this is an undeniably cute and all-around great group Halloween costume. Don't forget everyone's favorite sad boy Eeyore!

Black Widows

ICYMI: In Marvel's Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff isn't the only one with sick fighting abilities. Enter Florence Pugh and a whole group of trained assassins known as the Widows. Their minds are taken over in the movie, but you and your crew should def be the liberated version who decide to use their powers for good.

The Incredibles

Want to supercharge your Halloween? Dress you and your friends up as The Incredibles. Plus, you know you'll always be in style with an Edna Mode in your squad.

Regina George & The Plastics From 'Mean Girls'

If half of your convos are already filled with Mean Girls references, then this is the group costume for your crew. Whether you want to wear pink and mini skirts, show everyone that cutting holes in your shirt is so fetch, or you'd rather just take their lead on what to wear to a Halloween party, the inspiration that Mean Girls provides...well, the limit does not exist.

Mean Girls Christmas Costume

And speaking of Mean Girls, who could forget about their iconic Christmas routine? If you're more into Christmas than Halloween, get your group to dress up as this hot singing squad—working boombox not required.

Willy Wonka & Friends

What's more Halloween-y than candy?! Nothing. Also, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is an oddly terrifying movie–that creepy boat ride, the fact that children get turned into other things. Spooky! These costumes are also timely with Timothée Chalamet's Wonka set to release in December. Pro tip: For Charlie, just throw on a knit sweater!

Average Joe's From 'Dodgeball'

This group costume inspired by the cult-favorite comedy with Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller will have everybody laughing. You could even challenge another group to a dodgeball face-off at the Halloween party!

Rachel & 'Friends' Cast

While you're rewatching the classic sitcom, take notes on some of your favorite outfits. Your friends will be just as iconic as the Friends with some '90s-inspired looks! Don't forget about Ross'"Frankie Say Relax" shirt.

Game Controllers

You and your gaming buds might not have much time to plan your costumes, which makes this group costume from Amazon the go-to plan.

Taylor Swift Eras

If your friend group are hard Swifties (who isn't?), then dress up as different eras or albums. You can grab a ruffled purple dress to celebrate the release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version). And think about all of the fun colors to wear for Lover and edgy options for Reputation! I've got dibs on Midnights...

Fruit Salad

Fruit salad—yummy, yummy! Your BFFs will love the idea of dressing up as their fave fruits for Halloween. It's not spooky, but it is tasty. I call the pineapple!

Team USA Gymnastics

The Team USA Gymnastics Team is always rocking it. You and your pals can trick everyone into thinking you're the group that gets all 10s. How about a red, white, and blue leotard for the look?

Clue

This classic game of whodunnit has six legendary characters, all with unique names and personalities that perfectly translate into great Halloween costumes. Are you more of a Professor Plum or Mr. Green? Personally, I call Mrs. White...

Jo & The March Sisters From 'Little Women'

Greta Gerwig's Little Women, made up of an absolutely rockstar cast, won over the world's heart in 2019. And, if you're like me, the film has been on your mind ever since. Whether you're more of a Jo or an Amy, Louisa May Alcott would love for your friend group to dress up as the March sisters. Don't forget your picnic basket!

Joy & The Emotions of 'Inside Out'

While you may feel allll of these emotions every day, unfortunately, you have to stick to just one on Halloween night. I'm sure your group of pals will assign these emotions accordingly. Oh, hey...Sadness. Uh, Anger can you maybe not?

Mario & Friends

I'm sure you have a go-to player for Mario Kart! Now's the time to embrace how well you connect with your video game alter-ego–or character from The Super Mario Bros. Movie–and show up with your friends as the iconic video game characters. (P.S. You don't have to be good at Mario Kart to have the best costume.) I call Yoshi...

Tinky Winky & The 'Teletubbies'

Nothing shows that you're best buds more than dressing up as the Teletubbies together. Make your group costume even better by making some Tubby Custard! Laa-Laa? You'll always be my favorite.

Minions

If you're going for a cute look this Halloween, Minions are your best shot. What could be cuter than those overalls and glasses? Buy a costume like this one, or DIY one.

Bob Belcher & 'Bob's Burgers' Characters

Halloween is a time to be weird, a.k.a. the perfect time to show your love for offbeat animated comedy Bob's Burgers (especially if your squad also loves it). You can dress up as the whole gang and, yes, you do have to at least try to talk like the characters.

Bowling Alley Buds

Ahhh, bowling alleys. I kind of miss them, but def not those shoes that you have to rent. Bring back the feeling of going to a kids party at a bowling alley by bring the bowling alley to the Halloween party!

Spongebob & Friends

Are you readyyyyy...to dress up as Spongebob and his friends for Halloween. Need I say more? Ahem, this Sandy costume? Instant *Add to cart.*

Breakfast Foods

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that's still true on All Hallow's Eve. Why not show up to Halloween night still thinking about those delicious pancakes you made that morning?

Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs

Have a seven-person group? You have to be the seven dwarfs, duh! Even if you have an eighth person, they can be Snow White. Going as these lovable characters means you can whistle while you work and gives you the right to be sleepy or grumpy all night.

'Star Wars' Characters

The Star Wars universe is huge, which means your group costume can include as many people as you want. Everybody can pick their favorite character from the multi-movie saga, or you can set your group costume in a certain film or era.

Cruella De Vil & The Dalmatians

The thing about this group costume is somebody gets to wear a dress and a wig and get all done up, and everybody else, well, has to dress up as a dalmatian. But who doesn't want to be a cute pup?

Pick A Decade

To make a group costume as easy as possible, set a theme and have everybody just do what they want. One easy theme is decades! You could go for some Great Gatsby-esque looks for the '20s, grab a color-blocked windbreaker for the '80s (which are totally in), or don your boyfriend jeans and chokers for the '90s.
