TLDR

1) ‘In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.’ Unless you’re Cady, of course. Her dead bride costume is a movie classic.

2)  ‘I told you Siamese cats, not Siamese twins!’ The twins’ Halloween-costume-gone-wrong in A Cinderella Story is probably not one you’d want to copy!

3) Georgia as an olive in Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging. This is definitely one of the funniest fancy dress costumes we’ve seen!

4) Friends: Monica’s fancy dress party. The rabbit suit may be where the one obsession stems from: it’s definitely something special! And Monica’s Sindy in Grease-style catsuit is a classic.

5) And finally, Halloween film fancy dress at its best: Hocus Pocus. Sarah Jessica Parker is almost unrecognisable under those eyebrows! This would be so much fun to recreate for Halloween, especially the hair!
