We are officially one week into October, and you know what that means! One week closer to Halloween!
Halloween means a lot of things to a lot of people. For kids — and even a few kids-at-heart — it’s all about walking the neighborhood in pursuit of candy, though you may want to consult this list to see if your trick-or-treating days are behind you!
For others, it’s about spooky thrills and chills that keep you up into the wee hours. For a little preview, we recommend this terrifying (and possibly real!) found ghost footage.
But at the end of the day, Halloween comes down to one thing and one thing only. Like so many occasions, it’s all about what you’re wearing. It can’t be denied: The highlight of Halloween is always the costumes!
Now, I love dressing up for the holiday, but I’m always battling this internal anxiety that I’ll show up at the party and be the only one in costume. Fortunately, I have an insurance policy against that ever happening — just convince my boyfriend or a friend to dress up with me!
Even better, lots of retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, and Sears, sell couples costumes especially designed for this purpose! So if you have a big Halloween event coming up and you want to make sure your costume has company, scroll through the gallery below for ten of the funniest Halloween costumes for rocking with a pal!
