Group Halloween costume ideas
Two people turning up as the same thing is what ruins a group costume. Put everyone on one rail, so you all see who is going as what before the night, and each of you builds your own from clothes you already own. These work for two people or ten.
A coven
A coven: any number of witches, each in a different colour of cardigan, is a group costume with no coordination needed.
A pumpkin patch
A pumpkin patch: everyone in orange with a different felt face. It is easy for families and friend groups alike.
A pirate crew
A pirate crew is one of the easiest group costumes: everyone in stripes and sashes, one captain in a hat.
A zombie office or zombie prom
A zombie office, zombie prom or zombie team: everyone in the same kind of outfit, all worn out. The easiest group theme there is.
A pack of werewolves
A pack: every friend in flannel with ears, or a werewolf with a vampire for the classic rivalry.
A colony of bats
A colony of bats, or a bat with a vampire and a ghost for a haunted-house group.
A litter of cats
A litter of cats in black, grey and orange, or a cat and a witch as a pair.
A tomb of mummies
A tomb: mummies in any number, or a mummy with a ghost and a skeleton for a haunted group.
A fairy garden
A fairy garden: each friend in a different colour, from pale pink to forest green.
A circus night
A circus-night group: party clowns in different colours, or one clown with friends as a ringmaster in a black coat.
A whole ranch
A whole ranch: everyone in denim with a different colour bandana, or a cowboy and a cowgirl as a couple.
A row of ghosts
A row of sheet ghosts is instantly readable in photos, and it pairs with a vampire or a witch for a haunted-house theme.
A group of skeletons
Works in any number: a whole group of skeletons in black with taped bones is one of the easiest group costumes there is.
A choir of angels
Pair an angel with a devil for the classic couple, or a group of angels in white for a choir.
A group of devils
The angel and devil couple is a classic, and a group of devils in different shades of red works for any size.
Matching vampires
Pairs with a ghost and a skeleton for a haunted-house group, or with a second vampire in matching capes.
Keep the whole group on one rail
Start a rail on The Costume Rack and send the link to the group chat. Everyone claims their costume, you all see who is going as what, and two vampires only happen on purpose.
