69 Killer Couples Halloween Costumes for 2025 (Some Literally)

Couples Halloween costumes aren’t just about dressing alike. They’re a chance to show off your sense of humor and creativity. Even if that means going full zombie mode or reviving a Y2K pop culture moment. According to the National Retail Federation, over half of Americans plan to dress up for Halloween, and coordinated costumes (i.e. couple costumes) are definitely a thing.

So what makes a good one? It helps if it’s recognizable. Bonus points if it’s funny, a little unsettling or just easier to pull off than it looks. They can be bought, DIYed or thrown together last minute with what’s already in your closet. Either way, they should feel like you as a pair.

Best Couple Costumes

1. Pickleball and Racket

Bring the year's fastest-growing sport to the party. One of you dresses in neon green or wears a pickle costume, the other in tennis whites with a paddle or racquet prop. It’s quirky, topical and a good laugh for anyone obsessed with the trend.

2. Barbie and Ken

There’s a Barbie and Ken for every personality — cowboy, doctor, beach-ready, rollerskating. Ken and Barbie outfit ideas come together easily with store-bought sets or DIY fashion flair. It’s an easy choice for last-minute Halloween costume ideas and even group costume ideas if you’re planning on double-dating.

3. Pilot and Flight Attendant

If you’re looking for an easy duo, a pilot and flight attendant is a relatively easy Halloween costume to pull together. Most costume stores carry pilot and flight attendant outfits, but you can also DIY it with navy and red basics, name tags and a bit of flair. 

4. Firefighter and Dalmatian

Put a cute twist on a hero-and-sidekick combo. The firefighter wears a uniform (store-bought or DIY) and the Dalmatian dons dog ears and a spotted outfit to play the loyal Dalmatian.

5. Cookie Monster and Milkman

He loves cookies. You deliver them. This weirdly domestic costume is ridiculous in the best way. Achieve the Cookie Monster look with fuzzy blue clothes and googly eyes, and the milkman embraces a 1950s-style milkman outfit and hands out cookies. 

6. Vampire and Werewolf

For a timeless Halloween pairing that gives you plenty of opportunity to go overboard, go as a vampire and a werewolf. You can go classic gothic, modern, or even spoof the Twilight franchise. Over-the-top makeup completes the look.

7. Scooby Doo Crew

Pick a duo from the beloved mystery crew, whether it’s Fred and Daphne or Velma and Shaggy, and you’ll have a retro, recognizable look. You can buy these as a set or build them from everyday clothes and wigs. It’s perfect for costume parties or trick-or-treating with kids and even better if you’ve got your very own Scooby Doo to bring along.

8. Sims

All you need is a green plumbob headband — the rest can be whatever chaos you normally wear. Add thought bubbles or blank stares for extra flair. It’s a top pick for gamer couples and a great last-minute Halloween date idea that comes together with minimal effort.

9. Hangover Characters

Go as Alan and the baby for a costume that’s instantly funny. Alan’s got the sunglasses and a baby carrier, the other looks like they just woke up in Vegas. All you need is messy hair, bad decisions and a wolf pack attitude. It’s a great choice for couples, though it plays well with group costumes too.

10. Ross Geller and Rachel Green

You don’t need 90s trivia night credentials to pull this off. All you need is a sign that says, “We were on a break” and a little 90s angst. The rest is just jeans, layers and unresolved romantic tension.

11. Juno and Paulie

One of the easiest couples Halloween costumes out there. Juno just needs a striped tee, hoodie and makeshift belly (bonus points if one of you is actually expecting). Paulie wears a maroon gym shirt and a yellow headband. It’s all about the awkward stares and deadpan delivery — teenage ambivalence required.

12. Bear and Honey

Cute couples Halloween costume combination? Go cute and cozy with a bear costume and a matching honey jar outfit. You can use fur onesies, honey-colored accessories and a big label that says “Hunny” for Winnie-the-Pooh vibes.

13. Price is Right Contestants

Throw on matching t-shirts with DIY name tags and pretend you’re bidding for glory. Oversized price tags, fake microphones and maybe a box of Rice-A-Roni will sell the look. The stranger the prop, the better.

Horror Couples Halloween Costumes Ideas

14. Killer Scarecrows

Scarecrows might be helpful at keeping the crops safe, but they’re also a little creepy. Go full horror with burlap masks, fake blood and tattered overalls. You can DIY this with thrifted clothes and hot glue or buy creepy scarecrow kits online. Love your slasher flicks? This one’s for you.

15. Freddy and Jason

These couples Halloween costumes bring together two horror legends in one terrifying pair. Freddy and Jason have terrorized their own universes and each other's, and now they can terrorize your Halloween party. They’re instantly recognizable slasher icons and are a great choice for horror movie fans, especially if you already own one of the masks. 

16. Ghostface Killer and Casey Becker 

Go full slasher with this iconic duo from Scream. The killer of the couple gets the Ghostface mask and cloak, the other goes blonde in a white sweater holding a toy phone. You can really bring the scene to life with some fake blood.

17. Ghost Pirates

They once ruled the seas, now they’ve come back to haunt your Halloween party. Think Pirates of the Caribbean with its ghostly sea captains. Bring the look to life with shredded clothing, pirate hats and eerie makeup. Add glow-in-the-dark paint or cobwebs for that freshly-haunted look.

18. Dollface and Man in the Mask

Inspired by The Strangers, this couple’s costume is minimal but still gives off the creepy vibes. All you need are the right masks, some old-timey clothes, and a complete lack of expression.

19. Regan and Father Karras

Recreate a scene from The Exorcist with Regan’s green face and possessed expression while the other wears a priest’s collar and holds a cross. It’s scary, weird, and hilarious in the right context, which is very Halloween.

20. The Shining Twins

Iconic, unsettling, and surprisingly easy. Just find two pale blue dresses, knee-high socks and creepy blank expressions. Make sure to part your hair to the side and don that white clip. You sell this look with synchronicity, so make sure you’re matching and on point. Add a hallway backdrop for photos if you’re going all in.

21. Creepy Jack and Jill

Put a twisted spin on a nursery rhyme with couples Halloween costumes that are more unsettling than nostalgic. Dress in vintage-style clothing with torn fabric, fake blood and haunted stares. It’s the untold story of what happened to Jack and Jill after they fell down that hill.

22. Creepy Clowns

Clowns are pretty creepy anyway, but add a horror twist and you’ve got that extra scare value. Smudged face paint, fake blood and mismatched colors make this work. Use what you already have or get creative with thrift store finds. People will be wanting to keep their distance, in a good way.

23. Pearl and Projectionist

Bring some A24 horror to your couples Halloween costumes. All you need is for Pearl is a gingham dress, red lipstick and a crazed stare and for the projectionist, some vintage clothes to pull the couple look together. It’s a unique costume that still has a pop culture reference that people will get.

24. Sam and Rhonda

From Trick 'r Treat, Sam and Rhonda are perfect for horror fans who want something spooky but not overdone. Sam’s burlap sack mask and Rhonda’s witchy attire are great for couples with different scare levels. While each character is creepy on their own, together, they’ll be a great horror duo costume.

25. Chucky and Bride of Chucky

This chaotic duo is perfect if you’re going for unhinged over subtle. Think tattered wedding dress, toy knife, wild hair and some seriously unsettling smiles.

Funny Couples Halloween Costumes

26. Lydia Deetz and Beetlejuice

Goth girl meets undead chaos, what’s not to love? This pair is theatrical, creepy and truly perfect for Halloween. Beetlejuice’s black-and-white striped suit is instantly recognizable, especially with wild green hair and ghostly face paint. Lydia’s look can go red-veil wedding dress or classic goth: think black lace, high collar and that signature deadpan stare. Together, it’s weird, dramatic and weirdly romantic — just like the movie.

27. Zombies

True love survives everything — even the zombie apocalypse. Rip up some old clothes, mess up your makeup and stagger into the party like you’ve been dead for weeks (but make it romantic).

28. Marty McFly and Doc Brown

A chaotic genius and a kid with a time-traveling DeLorean — what more could you want for your couples Halloween costumes? Marty’s look is all about the orange puffer vest, jeans and high-tops, while Doc needs a lab coat, goggles and hair that looks like it lost a fight with 1.21 gigawatts. Add a toy hoverboard or DIY flux capacitor for extra flair. Bonus points if you yell “Great Scott!” in the middle of the party.

29. Operation Board and Doctor

Turn a board game for a party into a costume gag with this clever setup. One of you wears a T-shirt or bodysuit decorated with red-nosed “Cavity Sam” pieces — felt, foam or paint all work. The other suits up as the surgeon with scrubs, a lab coat and a pair of tweezers at the ready. Add a buzzer sound effect if you're feeling extra.

30. Wayne and Garth

Party on, Halloween edition. Take a cue from Wayne and Garth and pull out some flannel, wigs and fake drumsticks or guitars to complete the look. This duo works well if your idea of a good costume is half effort, full impact.

31. Taco Belle

A pun costume that always delivers. It comes together quickly with a taco outfit and a yellow dress for Belle. Together, you’re Taco Belle. You’ll get the ‘aha’ moment every time someone says it out loud. 

32. Bob Ross and Painting

Who doesn’t love Bob Ross and his happy little paintings? So why not use him as inspiration for your unique couples Halloween costumes? One of you becomes Bob Ross — wig, denim shirt, palette and brush — while the other wears a scenic painting or tree-covered canvas. 

33. Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood

Bring a little Great British Bake Off flair to the party. All you need is a silver wig, an apron and a steely blue-eyed stare. This one’s subtle and hilarious—especially if you carry baked goods. Funny couples Halloween costumes? This one’s on point.

34. Chuck and Wilson

This one’s for the movie buffs. Chuck wears tattered clothes to look like a castaway and Wilson gets a red handprint painted on their face. When you start drifting apart during your Halloween party, don't forget to scream, "Wiiiiiilsooooooon..."

35. Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum

Fashion-forward and instantly funny, this snappy duo from Project Runway deliver the laughs. Glam it up as Heidi with an elegant dress and throw on a blazer and “Make it work” attitude as Tim Gunn. Ideal for couples who love Halloween with a touch of style. 

36. Pink Panther and Detective

Channel retro cartoon chaos with this bumbling detective and his ever-elusive nemesis. Go full pink bodysuit or DIY it with pink sweats, ears and a tail for Panther. Clouseau needs a beige trench, magnifying glass, absurd accent and a constant look of confusion.

37. Buddy the Elf and Maple Syrup

Buddy would approve of this syrup-forward love story. Green tights, endless enthusiasm and elf shoes for one of you — a syrup bottle costume or even just a big “Syrup” label for the other.

38. Simpsons Characters

Yellow face paint, blue wigs and a dose of animated absurdity. Choose from Homer and Marge, Bart and Lisa or any combo that fits your vibe. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for simple Halloween makeup ideas that aren’t too difficult to pull off.

Cute Couples Halloween Costumes

39. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy

Low-effort, high-chaos — just like the show. This underwater superhero duo is a nostalgic win for any millennial who grew up on SpongeBob. Mermaid Man needs orange, green, a starfish bra and a purple seashell belt if you can find one. Barnacle Boy wears red, blue and a big pout. Add flippers, gloves or DIY accessories for bonus points. It’s weird, hilarious and totally worth the effort.

40. Loofa and Soap

One’s bubbly, the other’s scrubby. Use mesh or tulle for a giant pastel loofah costume and pair it with a cardboard “soap” box or prop covered in bubble wrap. It’s absurd and adorable — just like you two.

41. Chazz and Jimmy

This over-the-top skating duo is pure gold — or at least silver lamé. Channel your inner Chazz with chest-baring sparkle and wild hair, while Jimmy brings the preppy drama in a glammed-up leotard and perfect swoop. Add tights, wigs and a fake medal (or a dramatic routine, if you're bold). It’s a funny Halloween costume that doubles as a surprisingly solid couples Halloween costume for those who don’t mind showing off.

42. Deer and Hunter

It’s either a love story or a cautionary tale. One of you throws on flannel, camo or blaze orange and goes full hunter mode. The other adds antlers, fur, maybe some soft makeup, or leans ridiculous with glitter and lashes. 

43. Rugrats Characters

Throwback fun for couples who grew up on Nickelodeon. Tommy and Chuckie, Angelica and Susie — there are plenty of pairings to choose from. Pick your favorite duo and rock these couples Halloween costumes with bright colors, oversized tees, plastic accessories and maybe a stuffed Reptar if you’re going all in. 

44. Little Red Riding Hood and Wolf

An iconic duo with plenty of ways to twist it. Red’s look is simple — just grab a hooded cape and a wicker basket. The wolf can go furry and fierce or full Shrek-style granny in a nightgown and glasses. It’s a cute couples Halloween costume with just enough storybook drama to keep things interesting.

45. Alien and Astronaut

Space romance? Intergalactic enemies? Your call. One person dresses as an astronaut who just returned from a mission. And what did they find in space? An alien. You can DIY with space helmets, silver fabric or LED lights, or buy a pre-made set online. 

46. Bird Watcher and Bird

This one’s for the nature lovers. The bird gets the feathers, bright colors and maybe a beak or wings if you’re ambitious. The other plays the bird watcher with a vest, binoculars and a notepad for rare sightings. It’s one of those cute couples Halloween costumes that’s funny, original and totally DIY-friendly.

Iconic Couples Costumes

47. Britney and Justin Denim on Denim

Arguably one of the most unforgettable couple red carpet looks of the early 2000s. Layer as much denim as humanly possible and walk into the party like it's 2001. Britney’s look calls for rhinestones, a structured bustier or gown shape, and a tiny handbag. Justin? Bleached hair, tinted sunglasses and as much patchwork denim as you can thrift.

48. Sandy and Danny

A flirty throwback with just the right amount of drama. For Sandy, go with an off-the-shoulder black top, high-waisted pants (leather or stretchy works), red heels and a bold curl or two. Danny’s look is all about slick hair, a white tee, dark jeans and a worn-in leather jacket. It works best when you lean into the vibe.

49. Clueless Characters

Nothing says 90s cool like plaid, platforms and a flip phone. Go as Cher and Dionne in matching blazer-and-skirt sets with knee socks and bold accessories, or as Cher and Josh with a contrast of high fashion and flannel. It’s polished, playful and a little bit chaotic.

50. Melanie Daniels and a Bird

An under-the-radar Hitchcock reference that cinephiles will love. If you’re looking for niche Halloween costume ideas, this is the one that will deliver. One of you dresses as Melanie Daniels in 60s glam and the other as a bird (or attach fake birds to the outfit for extra flair).

51. Zenon Kar and Proto Zoa

Zoom, zoom, zoom. Channel early-2000s Disney chaos with silver metallics, chunky boots and spiky hair. Zenon’s look is all neon trims, space buns and attitude, while Proto Zoa rocks glittery rocker gear, sunglasses and star power.

52. Lizzie and Isabella

Green and purple pleather, headset mics and dramatic poses — this Lizzie McGuire Movie pairing is a cult favorite. Complete the look with a “What Dreams Are Made Of” duet.

Movie Couples Costumes

53. Bridgerton Couples

Go full Regency with pastel gowns, waistcoats, gloves and jeweled accessories, or twist it into satire with powdered wigs, gossip scrolls and exaggerated silhouettes. Add a little fake blood for haunted Bridgerton party energy, or stuff your breeches for historical accuracy. It’s a cute couples Halloween costume, whether you’re playing it sincere or campy.

54. Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Dress to kill — literally. A sharp black suit and a sultry dress set the tone, but it’s the toy weapons, smug expressions and simmering tension that make the costume work. Go full glam with a side of spy chaos. It’s sleek, dramatic and just unhinged enough for Halloween.

55. Curious George and Man with the Yellow Hat

One’s curious, the other’s constantly stressed — sound familiar? Have one person dress in a monkey costume to be the adorable, curious chimpanzee while the other person dresses in all yellow with a big yellow hat to be his companion, Ted Shackelford.

56. Bojack Horseman and Carolyn

Perfect for couples who thrive on dark humor and existential dread. Bojack needs a horse mask, gray blazer, and that signature blue sweater with drink in hand. Princess Carolyn calls for pink fur, a teal cardigan, and enough fake optimism to keep it all together. It’s oddly emotional and funnier the more depressed you look.

57. Cosmo and Wanda

Channel peak cartoon chaos with neon wigs, fairy wings and crowns that hover just above your heads (a headband and wire do the trick). Add wands and color-coded outfits — green for Cosmo, pink for Wanda — and you’re ready to grant wishes, badly. It’s one of those cute couples Halloween costumes that’s loud, nostalgic and still a hit with anyone who grew up on Nickelodeon, perfect for throwback Halloween party themes.

58. Tune Squad

Come as one of the Tune Squad characters for a fun couples Halloween costume. Bugs rocks a jersey, bunny ears and enough sass to carry a carrot. Lola brings the sporty-glam with hoop earrings and a killer high ponytail. 

59. Holes Characters

Stanley and Zero, but make it nostalgic. All you need are orange jumpsuits, plastic shovels and the ability to mutter cryptic lines about onions.

60. Remy and Linguine

The aspiring French chef and his talented rat companion from Ratatouille make the perfect adorable couples costume. Dress in all fur with rat ears to be Remy and Linguine gets a chef’s coat and hat.

Easy Couples Halloween Costumes

61. Piñatas

This costume’s made for chaos. And the best bit? It’s a relatively easy DIY Halloween costume. Cover yourselves in tissue fringe, pom-poms and streamers like walking party favors. Stash some candy in your pockets for surprise “smash” moments, or just let people whack you with pool noodles. The sillier, the better.

62. Bratz Dolls

Go full Y2K attitude with glossy lips, heavy lashes, low-rise everything and platform shoes that defy physics. Add tiny handbags, bold accessories and enough sparkle to be seen across the dance floor. One of the boldest couples Halloween costumes if you’re into fashion, nostalgia or just want an excuse to wear dramatic eyeliner and say everything is “so cute, it hurts.”

63. Statue of Liberty and Tourist

The ultimate opposites-attract pairing. Liberty’s in a foam crown, torch in hand, serving solemn symbolism. Green face paint optional. The tourist’s rocking a fanny pack, cargo shorts, an "I Heart NY" shirt and has a camera to act as a tourist.

64. Chess Pieces

Black and white elegance. Wear opposite colors and add crown or bishop headpieces to sell the idea. It’s dramatic and chic and it’s especially fun for anyone who wants major impact for minimal effort.

65. Dentist and Tooth Fairy

Maybe one of the more bizarre romantic matchups, but it somehow works. The dentist’s armed with gloves, a toothbrush prop and a professional grimace. You can pretty easily find scrubs online. The Tooth Fairy on the other hand, has wings, glitter, and a sack full of baby teeth (real or not is your call).

66. Glinda and Elphaba

Wickedly good couples Halloween costumes for Broadway fans. Glinda’s all sparkle and smiles, decked out in pink tulle and enough hairspray to fog the stage. Elphaba goes green (literally), with a pointed hat and a look that says, “I have questions about your moral compass.” Together? Wicked perfection.

67. Rhyme Without a Reason

The costume equivalent of a bad pun and a great time. There are plenty of rhyme without reason ideas. Just pick any two words that rhyme but have nothing in common — think “Spaghetti and Yeti,” “Formal Coral,” or “Harry Scary.” The weirder, the better. It’s fast, funny and almost impossible to mess up… unless your rhyme needs explaining. In which case, even funnier.

68. Zoo Keeper and Zoo Animal

Khakis, clipboard and deeply tired energy sells the zoo keeper. And their partner? Choose your animal vibe: sleepy sloth, judgmental lemur or wildly caffeinated flamingo. It’s the interaction that sells the bit.

69. Circus Ringleaders

Command attention in red coats, top hats and theatrical flair. Go as matching ringleaders or mix it up with a trapeze artist, lion or slightly unhinged clown. It’s a showy choice — perfect for couples who think Halloween is a stage and the party their spotlight.

Couples Halloween costumes aren’t just about matching outfits — they’re about telling a story together. Whether you went full horror with zombies and scarecrows, kept it light with breakfast puns and cartoon duos, or threw it back to your favorite Y2K icons, the best costumes show off who you are as a pair.

And honestly, that’s what makes dressing up so fun. You get to step into a different identity for a night — and do it with someone who’s on the same weird, funny, creative wavelength as you. So whatever vibe you’re going for this year, lean into it, own it and have a blast doing it together.
