13 Popular Halloween Costumes for Couples

Looking for Halloween costumes for couples? If you and your spouse want to dress up for some fun on the last day of October, you can easily find Halloween costumes for couples. Truly, you're only limited by your own imagination. Sure, you could dress up like peanut butter and jelly or a princess and a frog. Or you could seek inspiration from couples in popular culture. Here are some Halloween costumes for couples that draw on popular relationships-

1. Adam and Eve

What better than to pose as the original couple and pretend to live in the Garden of Eden? Consider Adam and Eve to honor the first couple and the Bible. Plus the strategically placed fig leaves will give others a chuckle.

Props: You could carry around an apple and a snake to depict the turning point in the Adam and Eve story. You could also carry around a plastic rib if you'd like.

2. Toy Story Woody & Jessie Halloween

One of the most popular movies of the last year was Toy Story 3, with its touching storyline about growing up and moving on, while still hanging onto your memories. The appeal of the film might be why couples are drawn to this costume option. Remember child-like innocence on Halloween by dressing up like Woody and Jessie, the beloved talking toys from the popular animated film.

Props: Of course, a lasso and a pony on a stick would be good companions for Woody and Jessie.

You could also tote around a Buzz Lightyear doll for good measure.

3. Addams Family

Gomez and Morticia Addams strike the perfect balance of cooky and gothic, which is why playing them on Halloween can make the holiday downright zany. Your costumes will seem perfectly appropriate for the fun yet frightful night.

Props: You could carry around a family photo replete with Uncle Fester and Lurch.

4. The Munsters

Munsters.com calls this beloved TV family of monsters the "First Family of Fright," which makes Lily and Herman Munster as symbolic of Halloween as Mr. and Mrs. Clause are to Christmas. More blue collar than the wealthy Addams Family, the Munsters could probably better relate to today's middle class. Traditionalists will enjoy dressing up as Herman and Lily Munster, telling macabre jokes, and looking more Halloween than anyone at the ball.

 

Props: Those playing Herman could carry a tombstone or keys to the hearse, tributes to his job at the funeral parlor. Meanwhile, Lily could bring with her a bottle of Chanel No. 13 perfume, her favorite. You could also opt to read the palms of others, which was a favorite pastime of Lily.

5. Popeye and Olive Oyl

Ever dream of being a muscle man? Ever dream of being with a muscle man? If that perfectly describes you and your spouse, you can live out your dreams - at least for a day - by playing Popeye and Olive Oyl. Sporting fake muscles, you can barrel your way through the Halloween night, fend off the Blutos in your neighborhood, and woo your Olive Oyl. And, as Olive Oyl, you can be coy and cute and squeeze those muscles to your heart's content.

 

Props: Popeye, of course, can carry his corncob pipe, while Olive Oyl rocks Swee'Pea, their baby, on her hip. (If you don't have a real, live baby, you can always use a doll.)

6. The Flintstones

Dressing up as the Flintstones, Fred and Wilma, might have you singing the cartoon's famous theme song. "Meet the Flintstones..." It also has you sporting cool caveman rags, which can be as cute as they are sexy. Less flashy couples could opt to dress as Barney and Betty Rubble or Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. Still, the king and queen of these working class folk are Fred and Wilma.

 

Props: Fred might carry a rock tablet under his arm.

Then again, his bare feet might be enough of a prop. Wilma has her lovely pearl necklace or Pebbles to tote around.

7. Batman and Batgirl

We've all fantasized about being a superhero at one time or another. And to pair up with our spouse to be such a powerful and strong team is, frankly, the dream of most married couples. That's why Batman and Batgirl is a great costume to sport for Halloween. Save each other and save Gotham. Wouldn't that be nice?

 

Props: Keys to the Bat Cave, capes, or bats themselves (I'd go with the fake ones and not actual bats) could make for fun props.

8. Batman and Sexy Robin

For women who would rather be Batman's better half - Robin, albeit in a sexier manner than the one to which we are accustomed - rather than portraying Batgirl will appreciate these costumes. A sexy Robin could put an extra spark in your Halloween night - and your marriage.

 

Props: Well, capes and masks are a must. But you can also bring with you some of the comics about this dynamic duo.

10. Mr. and Mrs. Candyland

Children of the 1980s might enjoy reliving one of the era's popular films, Ghostbusters. Since there will likely be ghosts roaming the streets or hanging at the Halloween parties, your costume will fit in perfectly. You could have a lot of fun with those around you sporting this get up.

 

Props: Those ghosts could suffice but why not bring some slime with you?

11. Zoot Suits

Have a sweet tooth? Then, you might want to portray Mr. and Mrs. Candyland for Halloween. Since, Halloween is the holiday of candy, you'll be sporting the perfect costume. As you hand out treats, you'll be wearing them, too.

 

Props: Those delicious pieces of candy, which you can share with trick or treaters, is the perfect item to bring with you when wearing the Mr. and Mrs. Candyland costumes.

12. Togas

Those who enjoy fashion history can don a zoot suit for Halloween and feel as though they are traveling back in time. While these costumes don't play into the traditional themes of Halloween - they're not scary or cutesy - they are unlike anything you would wear in real life. They give you a chance to toy with your style and be someone completely different for at least one day of the year.

 

Props: Don't forget your hat with the feather, suspenders, and a pocket watch.

13. Twister Couple

Fans of Animal House, the 1970s flick about frat life at college, can act out the famous toga party scene in these costumes. As newlyweds, you might feel comfortable wearing your sheets (assuming you're spending most of your time in bed, wink, wink). And, at the same time, you can feel like college undergrads living it up. It's never bad to recapture your youth together for but a night.

Props: A crown of laurel and a beer mug are must haves for these costumes.

If you want to stay tangled up with your spouse, then dressing up as Twister boards might be the right Halloween costume for you. It's fun and colorful and will bring back memories of your childhood. You could also go as Scrabble and Twister, by the way, if you'd like to spread the love to other popular board games.

Props: Carrying around the spinner from an actual Twister game (or a dictionary if you go with Scrabble garb)could be fun.
