Which '80s Halloween Costume Should You Wear?

You feel the need, the need to dress up as Maverick for Halloween this year. You're the painfully cool, often cynical type, so Maverick will suit you perfectly. Make your BFF dress up as Goose, your best frenemy can go as Ice Man, and (weather permitting) reenact the beach volleyball scene.

Like Venkman, you've got quirky, offbeat humor down pat. Whether you don a proton pack and the classic Ghostbusters onesie, or you pull out your best professorial tweed, try not to get slimed.

Dr. Peter Venkman

You, the master of aloof coolness, must rock the most beloved wild child of the '80s. Your charm can get you in or out of any sticky situation.. All you'll need to complete the look is a white shirt, sweater vest, and devastating handsomeness — you can also answer to the name "Abe Froman."

Ferris Bueller

You are all that is He-Man. Brave, morally infallible, and one of the precious few who can still pull off a bob with bangs. Grab a She-Ra, have a friend tail you as Skeletor, and bring along all your best cheesy one-liners.

He-Man

Like Ash, you're fascinated the gruesome, bloody parts of Halloween. You might be a horror film aficionado, but even if you aren't, your humor tends toward the dark — and that's all you really need to pull off Ash.

Ash Williams

Like Jessica, you're an irresistible sexpot — but there's a lot going on underneath the surface. You're just as sweet and intelligent as you are smokin' hot. Make your S.O. or BFF go as Roger Rabbit, and you'll be the hit of the night.

Like She-Ra, you're a no-nonsense head-turner. Rock her long golden locks, and if you have a friend who can pull off He-Man, hang out all night and bicker like siblings. If you can find a winged talking unicorn, all the better.

She-Ra

Grab some wild eyeshadow, a bubble gum pink wig, and your closest friends to play The Holograms. Like Jem, you're a bundle of talent and you've got a backbone of steel. You steal the spotlight anyway, but with this costume, you'll be a downright showstopper.

Like Samantha, you can be a bit of a wallflower, but there's a magnetism about you that draws people to you anyway. Whether you rock her wedding party attire or one of her more casual looks, just remember: Do not give your underwear to anyone. Even if your intentions are good.

You're as sweet as they come, but you know how to fight for what you want. Rainbow Brite is one of the most instantly recognizable figures in pop culture, even to this day. Rock her frock, those rainbow boots, and her signature high ponytail. You'll win every costume contest you enter.

Like Cheetara, you're a sassy warrior. You're quick, strong, and sassy — and those are the most important parts of pulling off a great Cheetara costume.

Ellen Ripley is an iconic sci-fi action hero, and she has a ton of different looks you can rock this Halloween. Emulating her steely, badass attitude is a must — and her absolute refusal to give up.
