Costume

Just because you can’t go out to Halloween parties this year doesn’t mean you can’t get dressed up. Whether you’re going to an outdoor movie night with friends, a fall activity in your town, or just greeting the trick-or-treaters from a distance, wearing costumes is a Halloween must. This year, take advantage of COVID-19-necessitated face masks to create your own creepy getup.

Whether it’s the costumes, the love for all things horror, or the candy, Halloween has something for everyone. Even though the scariest thing you have probably encountered was your last midterm, it’s never too late to get into the spooky spirit. Here are some ideas for you to spook up your life!

Yeah, we get it—it’s midterm season. You have two exams, three papers, a presentation, an interview, and an existential crisis. Because of all those excuses, you probably took the easy way out and dressed up like a cat or bought a Trump mask. Don’t do that for the actual Halloween (or All Hallows’ Eve, whatever floats your boat) on Tuesday.

Finally after an adolescence of loneliness, you've got a love-buddy willing to pull off a couple's costume with you this Halloween. But after years of fantasizing about this moment, you now have no clue how to find the perfect couple's costume that accentuates all the best parts of your relationship and makes you seem like you never fight half-drunk every Saturday night ever.
