The countdown has begun! Halloween is upon us and it’s time to start searching for that perfect costume. Since last Halloween, we’ve seen some big movies in the theaters - from Star Wars: The Force Awakens to Captain America: Civil War to Suicide Squad. We’ve got costumes for your favourite characters from those films. (Yes, including Harley Quinn.) Throwbacks? As if! We have new nostalgic costumes from Clueless, The Goonies, and Mean Girls. With Halloween so close to Election Day this year, we of course have Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton costumes, as well. Inflatables are huge this year, too. These blow-up costumes are larger than life and great for grabbing the attention of your friends. If you want to go back to basics, we’ve got great old-school costumes of animals, clowns, pirates, and mummies. The HalloweenCostumes.com HQ has been working hard this year to give you the best costumes, and we hope you’ll enjoy our 2016 costume ideas list.

Slasher flicks, zombie films, science fiction thrillers, and supernatural major motion pictures; we bloody love 'em all! Bring on all the gore, mangled monsters, blood-curdling shrieks, and perpetual paranormal hauntings because we can handle it. Sure, we watch through spliced fingers, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Seriously. There's something about being immobilized with fear that makes us feel so...alive.
