Halloween Costumes: Classic Characters
We have a feeling there’ll be a lot of characters from Suicide Squad roaming the streets this Halloween. Certainly, the Joker is a classic go-to. Additionally, Harley Quinn is a great option as well; her look is fun, flirty and easily achieved.

Mehron Bald Cap Premium Character Kit, L.S. Dirt (Oily Dirt)
Game of Thrones: The Red Woman
Or perhaps your love of Game of Thrones can inspire your costume. For example, you could dress up as Melisandre (a.k.a. The Red Woman). Her long, wavy red locks and pale complexion are the perfect façade for her true evil nature (and her true age).

Halloween Costumes: 80’s Throwbacks
Netflix’s Stranger Things has been dominating the cultural zeitgeist since its release this summer. And while we’re sure to see a lot of Barbs, Elevens, and Dustins, the show is likely to inspire a number of 80’s themed costumes as well.
Of course, the ideal cross-section between Stranger Things and the 80s would obviously be Winona Ryder movies. And cult classic Heathers is a great place to start. Even better, the film presents the perfect opportunity for group costumes.
Schwarzkopf Got 2B Glued Blasting Freeze Hairspray, Shoulder Pads
Another fabulous 80’s Ryder flick is the beloved Beetlejuice. And no matter whether you go for Beetlejuice himself, Lydia Deetz, or another character, you can rest assured people will be excited by your costume.
