37 Movie Halloween Costume Ideas That Are Actually Genius
Halloween is right around the corner!
We asked the BuzzFeed Community to show us the best movie-themed Halloween costume they've ever worn. Here are the brilliant results.
1. The Emerald City from The Wizard of Oz:
My work department does a group theme every year (and we always win first place in the company-wide costume contest). In 2017, we dressed in a The Wizard of Oz theme, and I went as The Emerald City.
2. This very literal The Devil Wears Prada costume:
I made the horns using Worbla, created a fake Runway cover, and glued a printed Prada logo onto a random purse. People seemed to really like the idea and execution. I had a blast!
3. Ralphie and the leg lamp from A Christmas Story:
My fiancé is an amputee, so we went as Ralphie and the Leg Lamp. He was fragile, but it was worth it!
4. Mrs. Doubtfire and her hot flashes:
5. Ariel getting eaten by a shark:
6. Miss Trunchbull from Matilda:
7. This two-person costume of Peter Pan and his shadow:
8. Seth from Superbad:
9. Okoye and her rhino from Black Panther:
10. Carrie, before and after the pig's blood prank:
11. Georgie from It:
Don't mess with clowns in sewers, folks. Ain't worth it.
12. Everyone from The Emperor's New Groove:
My friends and I dressed up as Kuzco, Yzma, and Kronk. We put everything together from stuff we had around the house, and I luckily didn’t have to carry Yzma around all night!

14. Juno and Paulie Bleeker:
