Creepy, funny or cute? There are all too many fun ideas for Halloween costumes, but some of the best might just channel your inner 90s kid. Here are some of our favorites:
Beetlejuice
Put on that infamous white and black pinstripe suit, puff up your hair, paint your face white, and sing along to the famed “Banana Boat Song.” Don’t know what we’re talking about? You clearly missed out on childhood and need a movie night ASAP.
Frizzle from The Magic School Bus
Got a space-themed dress, curly red hair and a pet lizard? You’re good to go!
Backstreet Boys, or NSYNC
If you’ve got four friends, it really comes down to this: Would you sing “I Want It That Way” or “Bye, Bye, Bye”? Oh and of course, it comes down to the white tank-white pants set versus all black track suits. Either way, frosted tips are non-negotiable.
Beanie Babies
Dress up like your critter of choice and tag yourself with a TY big red heart — you know the one.
Hey Arnold
However you can, make your head look like a helmet, and you’re golden. Strategically place a baseball cap between your crazy yellow hair, and wear a long red flannel that questionably looks like a dress. Perfect.
Britney Spears
The options are countless, really. Want to go with the “One More Time” school girl look, or the red leather jumpsuit circa “Oops I did it Again,” or the black bell bottoms from “Stronger?” Well, for that one, you might want to brush up on your chair dancing skills.
Pulp Fiction
A black bob with perfectly full bangs, a black dress, and a cigarette dangling from the fingertips. Want to do a couple’s costume? Grab your boo, and make him up to look like John Travolta in 1994.
Powerpuff Girls
Are you part of a trio of gal pals? Preferably one of you’s a redhead, another a brunette, and the last one a blonde. With some magic, you three — Buttercup, Blossom and Bubbles — can save Townsville from Mojo Jojo and the Gangreen Gang.
CatDog
Have a partner you’re attached at the hip with? Well, for this one, you’ll have to be connected — literally — all night. One part cat, one part dog, this is your chance to manifest Siamese twin vibes.
Power Rangers
Five kids ready to save the planet? Get your tight-fitting suits and face masks out, and embark on a Halloween night that’s filled with superhuman powers.
Hopefully the wheels are spinning and you’re now feeling inspired to whip together an upbeat DIY that features some of your favorite 90s icons.
