50 Couples Halloween Costumes

Not sure what to be this Halloween? YourTango's pulled together 50 fun, original couples costumes. We're not the only ones who can come up with great couples costumes, so leave us a comment and tell us how you and your partner have dressed up together in the past, or what you're planning for this year.

Inspired By Pop Culture

1. Meat Dress & Butcher (a la Lady Gaga at the VMAs)
Butcher: White T-shirt, white pants, white apron with blood stains (use red food coloring or fake blood), meat cleaver (can be real, or for a safer option, one made out of cardboard and tin foil).
Meat Dress: Take a plain white cotton dress and use red markers to create a "meat pattern" a la this outfit. Wear a long white wig, a sparkly necklace and bracelet, and any other over-the-top, Gaga-esque accoutrements.

2. Eat, Pray, Love
Partner one (Eat): Chef's hat, apron and mixing spoon, or any food costume. For example, wear brown, carry Hershey kisses and be chocolate; wear green, carry a bag of arugula and be lettuce, etc. To be authentic to Elizabeth Gilbert's book, be a bowl of pasta by wearing a red shirt festooned with several yards of pale yellow yarn and balls of mixed brown and red yarn.
Partner two (Pray): Any costume with religious connotation—a priest (long black coat, white collar, cross, bible); a Franciscan monk (brown bathrobe, brown hood, rope around your waste, cross around your neck); or a sari with a bindi on your forehead to represent India (where the "Pray" portion of Eat, Pray, Love took place).
Both: Then, when someone asks you what you are, kiss and say, "We're Eat, Pray, Love."

3. Justin Bieber & Fan
Bieber: Unless she or he has anything like The Bieb's hair, the Bieber half of this couple must buy a Bieber hair wig, happily available at justinbieberwig.com. Pair that with a hoodie, jeans, some bling, big sneakers and a spot of fake blood around the temple where a bit of hair has been torn off by an adoring fan.
Fan: In addition to the costume's requisite lock of Bieber hair in hand, doll yourself up in fan-girl gear: a Bieber concert T-shirt, denim mini and an arm full of silly bandz.

4. House & Cuddy from House
House: A lab coat, cane and a perpetual scowl. Bonus: Limp and indiscriminately shout out obnoxious comments.
Cuddy: A skirt suit, high heels and cleavage.

5. Rachel Berry & Finn Hudson from Glee
Rachel: Borrow a cardigan from your grandmother's closet and pair it with a white shirt, a plaid skirt, black knee-high socks and a pair of loafers a la this outfit.
Finn: A red football jersey, jeans, and a firm conviction that a girl can get pregnant in a jacuzzi. 3 Things Glee Teaches Us About Love
