Top Group and Duo Halloween Costume Ideas For Friends and Family

With Halloween festivities lying in wait, many of us are searching high and low for a good, medium effort group costume to get into the spooky spirit. To help inspire your costume shopping, we’ve compiled a list of group and duo costumes for your friends and family to dress up with you!

From all corners of the pop-culture Halloween almanac, here is The Beat Asia’s list of spooky to sweet costumes that you can get creative with.

Halloween Group Costume Ideas

The Addams Family

With the electrocuting revival of the Addams family through Netflix’s hit show ‘Wednesday’, the eccentric gothic family is a quick remedy for your very own motley crew of all ages and genders.

Scooby Doo Cast

Making their costume encore every Halloween is the mystery-solving gang of teenage detectives. Take your pick from jock Fred, it-girl Daphne, bookish Velma, stoner (let’s face it) Shaggy, and their beloved talking dog – Scooby.

Teen Titans

In the DC Universe of superheroes and villains, the cartoon network 2003 Television series ‘Teen Titans’ became one of the most popular series to ever run on the platform. Led by Robin V, other heroes includes Cyborg, Beast boy, Raven, and Starfire.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

It’s not every day you get the chance to dress up as four anthropomorphic turtle brothers trained in ninjutsu, who also happen to live in a New York sewer. So, have at it!

Ghost Busters

Bust some ghost butt with your friends while you parade the neighbourhood in all your high-tech nuclear-powered equipment made for supernatural captures.

Care Bears

Dressing up as a group of Care Bears is a relatively low-effort costume and can be made ultra cute for any numbered group of friends or family!

Shrek Cast

Our beloved onion ogre Shrek is always floating about in the internet zeitgeist, but what could be more elaborate than getting a massive group of friends together to shell out the entire Shrek cast across all four films. Surely you know someone who would make an excellent Gingerbread Man?

Halloween Duo Costume Ideas

Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp from Death Becomes Her

From the 1992 black-comedy fantasy that plays out a hilariously desperate battle against aging, ‘Death Becomes Her’ is the perfect duo costume for a diva and her catty diva friend. These undead frenemies might not always be youthful, but they’ll always have a little bit of fight in them.

Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE! Et voilà, costume sorted. But in all seriousness, pulling this Tim Burton stylised duo costume off would be a riot - no marriage required, of course.

Barbie and Ken

She’s everything, and he’s just Ken. The duo that’ll be rolling down the streets in their neon leotards and sparkling rollerblades this Halloween is the one and only (mass produced), Barbie and Ken.

SpongeBob and Patrick

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? None other than goofy goober SpongeBob and his neighbouring best pal Patrick. If you’ve got a bigger group of friends, why not get a Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Gary to join in on the fun.

Emily (The Corpse Bride) and Sally (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

Undead Emily from Tim Burton’s ‘Corpse Bride’ and Sally from Tim Burton’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ look like they’d make the best of friends. Both kind, intelligent and caring women – the two afterlife ladies would definitely be heading to the party in tow.

Guillermo and Nandor, Lazlo and Nadja from What We Do in the Shadows

From the mockumentary comedy horror hit series ‘What We Do in the Shadows’, embrace your wanna-be vampire and dress up as a real-life vampire (or his familiar). If you have a bigger group of friends to dress up with, why not get the roommates Lazlo, Naja, and Colin involved!
