24. Damien From Mean Girls

Remember when Damien wore a dark sweatshirt with the hood pulled up to hide out among the girls? Wear that with a sign that says "She doesn't even go here!" to re-create this character.

25. Ron Swanson From Parks and Recreation

You'll need your best surly face and a love of meat, buffets, and meat buffets to pull off the Ron Swanson look. You'll also need khakis, a flannel shirt, and a badass mustache.

A little red goes a long way here, as does a devilish smile. Dress in all black, and if you have any Prada, well, the more, the better.

If you know you're a snack, flaunt it! All you have to do for this costume is safety-pin candy, sweets, and salty treats onto your shirt, and everyone will eat you up.

35. Napoleon Dynamite

Imagine all of the awkward dancing you'll be allowed to get away with if you show up on Halloween as Napoleon Dynamite. Throw on some snow boots, rugged jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and a pair of thick-rimmed glasses. For extra effect, frizz your hair and keep a stick of chapstick in hand!

36. Twister

Perfect to do with a partner or friend, or even by yourself! Twister is an easy game to dress up as, all you need is an oversize white t-shirt, polka dots, and the classic Twister spinner to bring it to life.

37. Charlie Brown

If you're a fan of the Peanuts (Let's be honest, who isn't?), dressing up as Charlie Brown is right up your alley. A yellow collared shirt can easily be transformed into Charlie Brown's iconic outfit with a little marker, so get to work! Remember to "be yourself. No one can say you're doing it wrong."

38. Marty McFly From Back to the Future

It's all denim all the time for Marty McFly. If you've got something lying around the attic from the '80s, you'll be all set.

39. Ghost Malone

This Post Malone costume is totally killer, right? Instead of just dressing up as the singer, give the costume a Halloween twist by adding deathly makeup to turn you into Ghost Malone himself.

Airpods and a dark blue shirt will turn you into the (Apple) genius you know you are. Complete your look with a tech-savvy attitude and as many devices as you can. See you at the Genius bar!

41. Derek Zoolander

Derek Zoolander's iconic look is easy to re-create. If you don't have a printed jacket, you can paint an already white or black one. Add a headband and spiky hair. The most important part, though, is your Blue Steel look.

42. Green Army Man

Going green never looked so cool. Paint your face green, wear green clothes, and complete the costume with a handmade green platform that you can strike your best army pose on.

43. Joyce's Wall From Stranger Things

Even if you've never seen the show, you probably recognise the wall of letters from Joyce's house on Stranger Things. Write the letters on a shirt and either attach working Christmas lights or baubles that look like Christmas lights.

44. The Most Interesting Man in the World

If you're a fan of Dos Equis, this costume is for you. You can be the Most Interesting Man in the World simply by donning your best black suit and carrying a bottle of Dos Equis all night.

45. Forrest Gump

If you're ready to run, Forrest, run, you'll need a dirty white t-shirt, some shorts, a hat (preferably with the Bubba Gump logo), and a very long beard. Then get running!

46. 50 Shades of Grey

Use paint-sample chips in as many different shades of grey as you can find and attach them all over your outfit, and you'll be a whole new kind of 50 shades.

47. Potheads

We wouldn't suggest using actual pots for this one, as your head might get a little tired. Cut a hole in the bottom of a plastic pot, and fill the top with lightweight plastic plants. Slip the pot over your head, and be ready to get some laughs.

48. A Transformer

Creativity is key when it comes to making your own Transformers costume. Styrofoam boxes and big bulky gear will do the trick. It won't be long before you can be "built" just like them.

49. Formal Apology

Dress in your fanciest attire and make sure to write "Sorry" on an obvious part of your body to become a formal apology.

50. Teen Wolf

Scary, spooky, and totally easy, dressing up as a werewolf for Halloween is a one-and-done kind of costume. Add a varsity jacket and jeans to your long wild hair, and you're ready to howl in the moonlight.

51. Dustin From Stranger Things

Pull out your sneakers, cords, plaid shirt, denim jacket, and ball cap for this Stranger Things look. But don't forget the pudding. Dustin would never forget the pudding.

52. Garden Gnome

It's so easy to be an adorable garden gremlin! If you don't have a pointed red hat handy, you can make one out of felt. Wear it with your best flannel and a long white beard.
