Jurassic Park will have nothing on you. This costume comes with a small fan used to keep the dinosaur inflated all night—however, it requires four AA batteries, so make sure you have those beforehand. It comes in one size, but many reviewers say it fits people of all shapes and sizes. Slip it on to have a roarin’ good time!

The Sanderson Sisters are back in town—and now you’re one of them. This Winifred Sanderson costume has rave reviews, with one claiming they “got dozens of compliments at the bar" and was even a costume contest finalist. Because this is the officially licensed costume, it’s as accurate as can be and instantly recognizable. If you want to go the extra mile, make sure to purchase a wig that will suit the character’s iconic hairstyle.

3. A creepy doctor
At least doctors from the recent pandemic aren’t looking as creepy as they did back in the dark ages. This costume comes with a mask and cloak, and all you’ll need is a black coat or outfit to fit underneath. The holes along the beak make it easy to breathe and the head belt is adjustable, so it can fit almost all head sizes.

A beekeeper costume will be sure to have everyone buzzing about how great you look. The jumpsuit has a front zipper and comes with a wire and tulle hat that has tiny little bees circling around to spotlight your beekeeping abilities. Plus, because it covers you from head to toe, you'll stay warm while outside trick-or-treating with the kids or at an outdoor party.

5. A bumblebee
Enter a costume that works solo, but would also work great in combination with the above beekeeper costume. All you need to complete the look is a pair of black leggings—everything else is included. One reviewer said: “This is a great costume! It is just like you see in the picture and very comfortable. I like the fact that it is very kid appropriate for my workplace and I am adequately 'covered' so I do not freeze my buns off.”

6. A sea witch
Although we can’t say that this costume resembles a particular villain from a particular movie, we can say it is a gorgeous-looking polyester piece that comes with a stunning crown headband to match. As a plus-sized costume, it comes in women's sizes 1X/2X and 3X/4X. If you match it with a white wig, it will really pull everything together.
