The Addams Family

Nothing says Halloween like this spooky gang!  Take your pick of characters from Gomez and Morticia, even to Cousin Itt!  Dig out all of your black clothes and paint your faces to look ghoulishly pale.  Find a dismembered hand at any pop-up Halloween shop to complete your look with your very own “The Thing”!

The Belchers (Bob’s Burgers)

If your family is a fan of comedy, look no further!  A middle class American family who owns a burger restaurant, the Belchers’ iconic outfits can easily be replicated in a trip to your local department store.  Go the extra mile and learn one of the show’s funny songs like “Electric Love”!

Wizard of Oz 

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!  The Wizard of Oz is one of the most timeless family movies, and it is full of plenty colorful characters that make eye-catching Halloween costume.  Keep it classic by dressing up as Dorothy and her three sidekicks, or take a step off the yellow brick road by dressing up as Glinda, the wicked witch, flying monkeys, or even a member of the lollipop guild!  And don’t forget about Toto!  

M&M’s

It can’t get much simpler than solid-colored T-shirts and white felt M’s!  And who doesn’t love America’s favorite button-shaped chocolates?  This costume is perfect for large groups, and it allows everyone to choose their favorite color.  

Scooby Doo

If you have meddling kids of your own, dressing up as this famous TV bunch is the perfect costume!  Stick to the members of the gang, or get a little spooky by adding a few villains!  A wagon makes for a great makeshift Mystery Machine and is perfect for transporting Halloween candy.   

Pac-Man and Ghosts

Although this game probably out-dates your children,  it’s timelessness and iconic characters make it a simple and fun Halloween costume!  Cardboard, paint, and a little bit of imagination is all it takes!  You can have countless ghosts, Pac-Men and Pac-Women, and even cherries.  

Whether you decide to go store-bought or slave at the sewing machine for your family Halloween costumes, it’s not a bad idea to start planning early to avoid the last-week-of-October panic!  Have fun dressing up with your family and make sure to take plenty of pictures!
