About the Halloween Costume Generator
Coming up with a costume is the hardest part of Halloween. This generator mixes spooky and silly styles, like Zombie, Disco or Steampunk, with characters and jobs, like Astronaut, Referee or Garden Gnome, to spark ideas you would never think of on your own.
Add something you love, such as tacos, cats or your job, to get costumes built around it. Star the ideas you like, then pick the one you can make with what is already in your closet. Many of the best costumes are two simple pieces combined: a classic monster plus an everyday outfit.

Tips for a last-minute costume
- Start with one clear prop, like a chef hat, a whistle or a wand, so people get the idea instantly.
- Add face paint to turn any outfit into a zombie, vampire or skeleton version.
- Cardboard, aluminum foil and old sheets can make almost anything.
- Group costumes are easier when everyone shares one style, like a whole Disco crew.
- Pick something comfortable if you will be walking, dancing or trick-or-treating all night.
