26 Pun-Inspired Halloween Costumes That'll Never Get Old
From Ghost Malone to Insta-Gran, here are our favourite pun-inspired Halloween outfits for the 31st October.
When it comes to dressing up for Halloween year after year, it can become increasingly difficult to think of original, witty and inspiring costumes.
Whether it’s a friendship costume to wear with your best friend to a Halloween event in London, or a simple D.I.Y outfit you can make in less than 10 minutes with materials in the house for a viewing party of the scariest Netflix films, this year it’s time to change up your traditional cat and witch looks for something a bit more amusing.
So, if you fancy some deviled eggs this year or are a huge fan of Post Malone or Cardi B, here are your go-to pun-inspired Halloween outfits you need to try out come All Hallows’ Eve.
You’re welcome.
Coachello
Failed to get your mitts on a Coachella ticket this year? Fear not, as you and a pal can still be part of the action by dressing up as a coach and a cello for the best cultural-inspired pun of the year.
The Handmaid's Tail
Make like Offred and dress up in a red midi dress, white bonnet and a tail this year to take down the patriarchy.
Seven Eleven
Grab your Eggos, some fake blood and your mum's favourite nightie, and combine our two favourite loves - Millie Bobby Brown's Stranger Things character Eleven and the US 7-Eleven supermarket.
Hash Tag
What could be better than running around with your other half dressed as a hash brown this Halloween?
Answer: A lot of things, but this is a pretty great pun-inspired outfit, right?
Ice Ice Baby
This might be a tricky one to pull off if you don't have a newborn baby but you could always replace the real thing for a doll version if nabbing a 'best dressed costume' prize is on your to-do list this season.
Call The Shots
Combining alcohol and communication, this outfit is a real winner in our eyes.
Insta-Nan
What could be more frightening than an elderly relative on social media, right?
Watch Me Whip, Now Watch Me Nae Nae
This might take some serious dedication when it comes to cardboard cutting skills but who doesn't like a horse and sandwich board outfit?
Fork In The Road
Have a major life decision to make? Forget your worries and dress up as a road with a tiny little fork stuck on it instead.
Bear-ista
A grizzly bear isn't normally who'd we'd like to serve us our hot caramel latte in the morning but we're pretty impressed with this animal-Starbucks mélange.
French Kiss
Proof that fashion accessories don't get any better than in carbohydrate form.
Pigs In Blankets
If you're worried about the cold climes this month, grab your favourite sofa blanket, a pair of pig ears and a fake pig nose and you'll be warm come All Hallows' Eve.
Spice Girls
I tell you what I want, what I really really want? A group of mates to dress up as spices to make a witty girl band-inspired Halloween gang.
Deviled Eggs
If the thought of making deviled eggs makes you queasy then you might want to stick with this adorable friendship costume. Bagsy being the bacon!
Seal Of Approval
Animal onesie. Check. D.I.Y sign you can make in two minutes. Double Check. Just try and find an easier and warmer outfit to wear on Halloween, we double dare you.
News Flash
This could be the most simple yet effective Halloween costume we've seen in years. Better yet, it's timely (get it?).
Miss Universe
She's beauty and she's grace, she's Miss Universe...with planets adorning a black dress and accessorised with a sash. Educational, cute and funny.
An Old Fart
We're (slightly) ashamed to say it but fart jokes continue to have us wheezing. As a result, we're kind of into this oversized pink woopie cushion and grey wig.
Taco Belle
Who doesn't love a Disney reference, a feminist fictional character and Mexican food all in one outfit? Just make sure you make enough tacos to see your through the evening in case you get peckish.
Dunkin' Donuts
Recycle that swimming pool lilo you forked out on this summer and attach a toy basket ball hoop to your chest to make this punny and sport-inspired costume.
