From spooky classics to pun-filled pairings that will have everyone either laughing or rolling their eyes, this year’s costume lineup is packed with options that are clever, trendy, and totally unforgettable.
Let’s dive into the best duo Halloween costume ideas for 2024!
Spooky Classics with a Twist
Who doesn’t love a good throwback to classic Halloween characters? But instead of sticking to the same old looks, add a little twist to make these iconic costumes fresh and fun.
Freddy Krueger & the Insomniac
One of you can be the iconic nightmare stalker, Freddy Krueger, complete with his striped sweater and clawed glove. The other dresses as his sleep-deprived victim—the insomniac, armed with a coffee cup and dark circles under the eyes. Perfect for a creepy, humorous duo where Freddy’s chase never ends!
Ghosted & Left on Read
For the tech-savvy duo, dress as a spooky ghost and a phone notification for someone who’s been “left on read.” One of you dons the classic ghost sheet, while the other wears a costume featuring a giant text bubble, forever waiting for that reply. It’s scary how relatable this one is.
Wednesday & Enid
Chances are you've seen a few Morticia and Gomez duos walking around—this dynamic pair always steals the spotlight. But what about the iconic friendship of Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair? One of you can channel Wednesday’s dark, brooding energy with her signature all-black outfit and long braids, while the other goes all-out with Enid’s vibrant, colorful wardrobe, pastel hair, and sunny personality. The contrast between Wednesday’s deadpan demeanor and Enid’s bubblegum cheerfulness makes for a fun, quirky duo
Zombie Celebrities
Bring your favorite stars back from the dead! Choose celebrity icons who have passed and give them the full zombie treatment. One of you can go as Elvis Presley, rocking his signature jumpsuit, but zombified with tattered clothes, pale skin, and fake blood. The other can dress as Whitney Houston, with her glamorous look, but turned into the undead.
BookTok Made Me Do It
For my romantasy lovers, don’t just read about the characters—be the characters. These BookTok-inspired duo costumes will bring your favorite literary pairings to life, making your Halloween both magical and unforgettable!
Violet & Xaden (Fourth Wing)
One of you can dress as Violet, the badass heroine from Fourth Wing, with a sleek leather outfit and a dragon back tat, while the other rocks Xaden’s dark, brooding warrior look, complete with a sword and leather harness. Bonus points if you find another duo to play Tairn and Sgaeyl—because what’s a rider without their dragon?
Cin & Fallon (That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon)
One of you can go as Cinnamon, the tipsy heroine—dressed in a fun, flirty, medieval-style outfit, holding a mug or bottle as your “drinking” prop. The other can be Fallon, the seductive demon you saved, decked out in dark, alluring attire with horns and a mysterious, dangerous vibe. Together, you’ll embody the humorous, magical chemistry from this quirky BookTok favorite!
Feyre & the Tampon (A Court of Rose and Thorns)
For a hilarious twist from the A Court of Thorns and Roses universe, dress as Feyre—the fierce High Lady—with a warrior vibe, while the other goes as a giant tampon. Yes, you read that right—this costume is an inside joke from the book that fans will absolutely appreciate, making it the ultimate icebreaker at any party.
Ash & Sera (Blood and Ash)
Channel the sexy chemistry between Ash and Sera from the Blood and Ash prequel series. Dress as two fierce warriors—one as the irresistible God of Death, in Greek mythology-inspired attire, and the other as the stunning Queen of Gods, complete with a crown and daggers strapped to her thigh. Together, you’ll embody the allure of this powerful couple.
Trending Topics
These costumes are for the couple that loves being in-the-know, blending humor and relevance with what’s been making waves in 2024.

Together, you’ll embody the cutting-edge world of AI with a nod to a classic crime duo.
Alien & Men in Black
Aliens are all the talk this year, so why not embrace the extraterrestrial excitement? One of you can transform into a mysterious, green alien—or whatever you imagine ET really looks like—while the other takes on the role of a Men in Black agent, dressed in a sleek black suit and sunglasses, with a neuralyzer tucked into the jacket pocket, of course, to "erase memories." This duo is perfect for tapping into the year’s UFO buzz with a playful sci-fi twist!
The Algorithm & Crippling Social Media Addiction
Yikes, here’s an idea everyone at the party can probably relate to! One of you goes as the ominous Algorithm—dressed in Matrix-inspired numbers, graphs, and flashing code—while the other plays a social media addict, glued to their phone, with disheveled clothes, messy hair, and bags under their eyes. It’s a funny (and painfully accurate) take on our modern-day tech obsession.
Moo Deng & The Park Ranger
For a fun and quirky duo costume, one of you can transform into Moo Deng, the viral baby pygmy hippo, known for her sassy and clumsy antics. Wear a brown or gray onesie with hippo ears, and don’t forget to channel her playful, mischievous expressions that have captured hearts online. The other dresses as the Park Ranger, equipped with a uniform and a light-hearted attempt to keep Moo Deng in line. Together, this duo brings one of the internet’s most beloved animal stars to life!
