Halloween is right around the corner, and if you’re still scratching your head trying to think of a costume, here’s a suggestion: get some friends together and try a group costume! The benefits are many. It takes the pressure off you to come up with a costume for yourself. It shows the world that you and your friends do everything together, even the holidays. And finally, a group costume can elevate an otherwise mediocre costume into a great one. By yourself, you’re just a sad, lonely construction worker. But get some friends onboard and suddenly you’re a member of the Village People!
Here are 15 group costumes that you and your friends can try this Halloween. Some are punny masterpieces that even the anti-pun crowd will appreciate. Some are your favorite groups of characters from across pop culture. Some are just inventive and hilarious. You’ll agree: Halloween is better in a group.
