Celebrating Halloween has now become common in India, as people are now getting accustomed to more and more Western festivities and concepts. Halloween is one of them, celebrated with great enthusiasm and fun. It is a scary yet fun day where you can showcase your creativity and set up a popular, fun, and scary Halloween getup for your party. If you’re already getting tensed up for your last-minute less creative ideas, do not worry as we have your back. Here are some of the costume and character ideas you can wear if you wish to skip shopping and create your own Halloween costume.

Weird Barbie


Dressing up as Barbie can be a fun activity but it is a cheery character. However, Mattel created a Weird Barbie with some malfunctions which were next to being perfect and can be a perfect character for Halloween. Be on point with your pop-culture costume and opt for a flared pink dress, scribble your face with abrupt and bold makeup, and create a messy and funky hairstyle. You can also carry a shoe or sandal in your hand to get the perfect look from the 2023 ‘Barbie’ movie.

Wednesday Addams


To get the ideal look of Wednesday Adams from the spooky yet funny ‘The Addams Family’, all you need is a black dress with a white collared shirt to be worn underneath, spooky black nails, and black strap school shoes with white socks. Create a middle parting and make two plaits with a luminous white face base and dark maroon or black lipstick. Carry no accessory and you can also build a collar around your neck with small white buttons marking perfection.

Power Ranger


The legendary live-action show which revolves around superhero teens fighting some monsters and saving the world with creative and colourful costumes was all the rage in the 200s. All you need to have a monochrome co-ord set with a similar shade helmet and shoes, which would help you achieve the perfect look from the series.

The Nun


A horror film revolving around a convent or a nun always comes with secrets and a strong spooky effect. You can dress up as a nun which is very common and easy. All you need to have is a long flowy full-length black dress or gown with flared sleeves and a high-collar detailing. Next, take a black cloth wrap it over your head, and seal the deal with a white hairband. You can also buy the entire nun uniforms from the market and can create bold and horrific makeup around your eyes to get a scary look.

Clown for Halloween


Clowns are known for their cheery and over-the-top nature, but many people are scared of them making them a deadly nightmare. This nightmare can be turned into a perfect Halloween costume. If you wish to look like a scary clown then opt for white balloon pants and a white shirt. You can top it off with a half-white jacket, a flare cut-top around the waist, and puffy sleeves. Add some red buttons on the front and paint your face white. Make your eyes black and scary and add some red tint around your cheeks and lips. Complete the look with red or black strappy shoes and a curly short wig.
