WE'RE calling it. This year, Halloween's all about getting as spooky as possible and scaring everyone in your path.
No outfit is too much on October 31, so why not go all out and look totally unrecognisable? Maybe you're the fun dad who loves entertaining your kids, or perhaps you have an intense line-up of parties ahead. In either case, you’re going to need a killer costume – or a few.
Top Halloween costumes at outlets such as Smiffys and Amazon for men include: super hero, Viking, Spider-Man, Joker, Jedi, animal, circus, pirate, Mad Max, and robot.
Thanks to this year's movies and trending stars, we're expecting to see a lot of Batman, Boris Johnson, Bridgerton, Stranger Things, the Tinder Swindler and maybe even some Harry Styles swagger.
Beyond films and TV, you can never go wrong with the ‘classic’ Halloween costumes like Dracula, Frankenstein, the Grim Reaper or skeletons.
Fear not: you don’t need to spend a fortune or a day on getting everything just right because we've found the best Halloween costumes out now.
