The Purge Halloween Costumes

26 DIY Halloween Costumes Based on The Purge

It's time to start brainstorming some ideas for the perfect Halloween costume, and we're here to make sure your costume is both scary and Instagram-worthy. For the past few years, Halloween-goers young and old have used The Purge franchise as inspiration for their costumes, and it's time to re-create some of The Purge looks, and make 'em better (and scarier) than ever.

The Purge films and television series revolve around one day a year where in a 12-hour period, all crime (including murder and wearing white after Labour Day) is legal in a dystopian America. The horror franchise is a huge success both critically and financially and is an easy, affordable, and creative subject for a Halloween costume. Get some creepy costume inspiration ahead!
