1. Cleopatra and Caesar (Dressing)

Put a funny twist on one of history's most iconic couples when you re-create this killer costume. To be Cleopatra, you'll need a black wig, white dress, and gold accessories. As for Caesar, copy your favourite Caesar dressing bottle by printing out a large image of the bottle's logo and sticking it to your shirt.

2. French Toast

No French or culinary skills are required for this sweet and simple costume. A striped top, beret, and slice of real or fake toast (or toast-shaped purse!) go a long way for this costume.

3. Goth Milk

Got milk? Copy the well-known advertising campaign when you wear an all-black outfit with dark makeup and a milk mustache.

4. Betty Krueger

Freddy Krueger, but make it sweet. If you love cooking and scary movies, this costume was practically made for you. Dress up in Freddy's red striped shirt and attach a creepy (fake) knife-studded glove to your hand. Then, pair your look with a an old school Betty-Crocker-inspired skirt, and carry around your favourite baked goods.

5. Hard Seltzer

You've heard the phrase "ain't no laws when you're drinking Claws," right? Good! To re-create this edgy look, you'll need punk-inspired makeup and your favourite seltzer. Drink up!

6. Dr. Pepper

The doctor is in! Dress up in a white coat or scrubs and wear a nametag that says "Dr. Pepper." Your costume is complete.

7. Sandwitch

Forget the potions — lunch is served! To be a sandwitch, just wear a witch hat and tape pieces of bread to your face or outfit. You'll make a spellbinding costume in no time.

8. A Grate Pear

You'll need to grab your best friend or partner for this costume. One of you must wear a large piece of paper that's constructed to look like a cheese grater, while the other dresses up a pear. The result? A dynamic duo like no other.

9. Chilly Pepper

Take on a cold Halloween night in pun-inspired fashion when you dress up a "chilly" pepper. You'll need to wear gloves and beanie, and attach a large red pepper to your shirt. Stay warm out there!

10. Fig Newton

Get figgy with it this Halloween when you put a funny spin on the Isaac Newton costume. You'll need a curly white wig and a large piece of paper shaped like a fig to make this costume to life. Add an apple to your wig if you want bonus creativity points.

11. The Whole Enchilada

Perfect for pairs, being the whole enchilada is cute, easy, and creative. You'll need to have someone wear a shirt that says "the whole enchi" while the other shirt must read "the whole lada." Get it?

12. Caesar Salad

Lettuce tell you the best costume of all: a Caesar salad. Wear a long white robe and attach green leaves of lettuce to it. Finish off the look with gold accessories and a bottle of your favourite dressing.

13. Spoiled Milk

No one likes spoiled milk, unless it looks like this. All you need is an all-white outfit that says "milk" on the front, pair it with an expensive shopping bag or two, and you'll look the part.

14. AvoCATo

Replace the "d" in avocado and what do you have? An avocato, of course. Dress as you typically would for a cat costume (don't forget the cat ears) and top it off with a cardboard cutout of an avocado!

15. Holy Guacamole

A halo, green pants, and a guacamole t-shirt are all you need to ensure people will bust a gut after one glance.

You make lemonade! Be the bright spot this Halloween with a shirt that says "life" with a bag of lemons.

17. Chicken Strip

Put a sexy and punny twist on your chicken costume with dollar bills.

18. Bag of Eminems

Chances are you have a black rubbish bag lying around your house. It's time to get punny and print out large pictures of Eminem's face so you can tape them to your trash bag (or black shirt, we won't judge). Now you have a costume!

19. Taco Belle

Channel Beauty and the Beast with this adorable costume, but rather than carrying around books, you'll be toting a Quesarito instead.

20. A Shrimp on the Barbie

Cute, creative, and ideal for any anyone with a sense of humour, dressing up as a shrimp on the "barbie" will win you applause for the rest of the year. Find a Barbie shirt or make your own, and keep your eyes peeled for a shrimp hat. You are ready to take on the holiday!

21. Cereal Killer

Attach mini cereal boxes to your shirt along with smears of fake blood, and hold a (fake) knife to pull off this pun.

22. Dunkin' Donuts

Your best athletic wear and an inflatable pool float — you can make the doughnut yourself, if you have time — take this costume from funny to punny.

23. Wonder Bread Woman

You will pretty much have the best costume ever by combining carbs with the hottest superhero.

Cheers, dolls! Dress as an ordinary cheerleader, but rather than cheerleading, cheers to your favourite bottle of alcohol instead.

Everyone will get a laugh out of this creative costume. Just draw a little yellow on a white shirt and put on a pair of devil horns, and let this costume win Halloween.

26. Party Like a Brocstar

Spray your hair green and combine it with an all-green outfit. Finish it off with a fake guitar and you'll be a brocstar in no time.

27. Spice Girls

Become everyone's favourite fall flavours by dressing in all black, layering it with a red apron, and becoming McCormick's cinnamon and pumpkin spices.

28. Pigs in a Blanket

Well, more like pig in a blanket . . . but you get the gist. Find pig ears and wrap yourself in a blanket — it's really that simple! Bonus points if you actually make a batch of the goods!

29. Trés Leches

This sweet costume requires two other friends and a quirky sense of humour. Wear shirts that say "leche" or milk on them, and let people have fun guessing what you are.

30. Candy Rapper

No, not the wrappers the candy comes in. Twist your words and try out this creative costume. You should have plenty of candy in your cupboard already.

31. Breadwinner

Who's the breadwinner in your house? With this costume, you both are! Simply attach ribbons and medals to your shirts and carry around a piece of bread. Your work here is done.

32. Sugar Mama

Got a baby carrier? Got a bag of sugar? Congratulations, it's a costume!

33. Candy (Uni)Corn

Unicorns are basic, but when you combine them with candy corn, you get a costume that is anything but expected. Wear the traditional unicorn horn, but pair it with a yellow and orange ensemble.

34. Eye Candy

Chances are you have some candy lying around your house, and if you pick up a black apron, you can glue it all on there with some googly eyes to complete the look.

35. Hawaiian Punch

For this costume, someone needs to dress up like a boxer and the other person needs to wear their favourite Hawaiian attire. Once everyone gets the joke, your costume will be a hit.

For this outfit, tape a popcorn "kernel" and a little mustard packet on a plain shirt. Easy enough, right?

If you have red hair, you won't even need a wig for this one. Otherwise, find a red wig and carry around a loaf of bread.

39. Smarty Pants

Attach Smarties to your pants for this nerd-tastic look.

40. Meat and Greet

For this funny pun, stuff nylons with tissue and knot off each section to create a sausage-link sash. For the bacon, you can use either paper or fabric and red paint. Utilise some bobby pins to make sure your "Hello" headpiece stays in place. Now you are a meat and greet!
