9. Rabbit
Did the Easter Bunny get lost? Walk through the wrong tree in The Nightmare Before Christmas? A rabbit costume is great if you want to confuse people instead of scare them.
8. Pirate
Why are pirate costumes so cool? They just arrrrrrgh! Nab one like this and you’ll be shaking your booty all over town.
7. Superhero
“Superhero” is pretty generic and leaves a very wide range of options, but these generic superhero costumes will fit the bill perfectly when you can’t decide between Superman and the Green Lantern.
6. Harley Quinn
Hope you don’t mind the cold, because the shorts you’ll wear with your Harley Quinn costume definitely will not keep you warm. Be careful where you swing that bat.
5. Witch
Are you a good witch or a bad witch? Good witches may have the pretty dresses, but it’s guaranteed that bad witches have more fun.

4. Dinosaur
A dinosaur costume seems like a great idea until you realize you won’t be able to lift your drink to your mouth with your tiny T-Rex arms.
3. Unicorn
The unicorn costume’s popularity is a little surprising since there haven’t exactly been herds of unicorns roaming the streets on Halloweens past. Nevertheless, this year you may find trails of glitter following you if you grab one of these costumes. Go for the unicorn onesie look, or make yourself the rider on an inflatable unicorn costume.
2. Spider-Man
Coming in at no. 2, Spider-Man is such a popular costume choice that you’ll easily be able to recreate the Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man meme multiple times on Halloween night.
