With clowns listed as No. 14 on Google’s Frightgeist list, we wouldn’t be surprised if you bump into a few wig-wearing, red-nosed jesters at the Halloween party.

You’ll find plenty of funny and scary clown costumes for men and women alike, making even easier for everyone to join in on the jester-like fun.
Cowboys Halloween costume
You don’t need to live on a ranch or have your own horse to be cowboys and cowgirls for Halloween. Don Western attire, including a cowboy hat, bandanna, jeans, chaps and gloves. Then, rally the herd and “yee-haw” your way to every haunted house and doorstep.

Barbies Halloween costume
Hi, Barbie! Hi, Barbie! Every night is girls’ night, but Halloween could be the ultimate girls night this year by dressing up as a group of Barbies fresh out of the box: rollerblading Barbie, jumpsuit Barbie, cowgirl Barbie or DIY Barbie! Can you imagine how great trick-or-treating from Dream House to Dream House would be?! Although, let’s face it, the candy probably wouldn’t be real, and that’s one great reason we prefer the Real World. Either way, Barbie is sure to be one of the most popular group Halloween costume ideas this year.

Halloween night is better with buddies. Grab your fave Kens and practice being Kenough in one of the year’s best Halloween costumes for men (once you’ve got your hair just right). Bonus points if you learn the choreography from the Ken song.

Or, you know, just rewatch Stranger Things. You know you want to.
Clue Halloween costume
Hunting for the best group Halloween costumes is a little like solving a mystery: You need to figure out who’s buying which costume and from where. (It’s Miss Scarlet in Spirit Halloween with the Jason mask!) It’s easy to get to the bottom of it when you get the gang together to go as characters from everyone’s favorite board game: Clue. Wear a purple blazer, a glamorous red evening dress or a frilly maid’s costume, and break out the magnifying glasses. For a fun Halloween party idea, play a murder mystery game.

It’s one of the best group Halloween costumes for those who love easy Halloween face paint. Make sure you load up on Day of the Dead temporary face tattoos to complete the look.
The gang from Recess Halloween costume
Going as characters from the Disney movie Recess: School’s Out is one of the easiest options for this year’s Halloween party. This is one of those group costume ideas that rely heavily on normal-looking clothes you probably already own. The key is getting a bright green basketball jersey on one friend, a backward baseball hat on another, too-short pants for a third member of your friend group and a blue dress for another.

Bubble people Halloween costume
Not really a people person? Grab one of these silly-looking zorb balls to maintain your distance as you trick-or-treat this year. Fair warning: These plastic bubbles weren’t created as costumes, so they’re not made for the indoors.

Plus, you can have fun with them after the big day too!
On Sale
Movie cast Halloween costume

Decade-specific Halloween costume
Pick a decade and build all your costumes around it. Get groovy with lava lamps, bell-bottom pants and feathered hair to complete your ’70s looks, or go with easy-to-find shiny leggings, oversize sweatshirts and headbands to go as a group of ’80s girls. If you really want to impress the competition, go glam with an Art Deco–inspired look from the 1920s. Moment-in-time themes are some of the best group Halloween costumes because they don’t have gender, age or size limits and are generally fun for everyone.
Rock, paper, scissors Halloween costume
How about a smile-worthy dose of everyone’s favorite childhood gamble? It’s rock, paper, scissors! This one is easy enough to re-create with black leggings or fitted denim and a solid black long-sleeve tee topped with appropriately cut and decorated poster board. If you’re too low on time and energy for cheap DIY costumes, opt for premade costumes.
The Kardashians Halloween costume
Grab your bodycon and dust off your contour brushes, because it’s time to spell your name with an unnecessary ‘K.’ Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie make for a super-glam group costume idea. You’ll want to pair a metallic dress with wavy hair, pouty lips and the highest heels you can stand to wear all night.
Ted Lasso Halloween costume
The most wholesome show on TV also makes for a great group Halloween costume. Ted needs a mustache and some dad sneakers, Roy pairs black jeans with his classic black T-shirt and black leather jacket, Kaylee can wear anything fluffy and Rebecca slays in a fitted boss-lady dress. Throw in an adorable be-suited Higgins and a tracksuited Nate, and the gang’s all here. Believe!

This one is easy enough if you have several rolls of toilet paper on hand, a good attitude and a sense of humor. The best part? It’s versatile and easily made at the last minute.
