23 Fantastical Group Halloween Costumes for Celebrating With All Your Coolest Friends
I have never tried to hide the fact that Halloween is my favorite holiday. I don't just look forward to it. I pine for it the other 11 months of the year, planning my costume months in advance.
Something about Halloween is purely magical: the horror, the comedy, the romance, the way that local movie theaters play Rocky Horror Picture Show every night for weeks. It's a brilliant day — a day that allows you to embrace your inner child and remind yourself not to take life too seriously.
From trick or treating (yes, I still trick or treat) to more grown-up Halloween parties, every aspect of this holiday is for me. And something else I adore about it is that is creates an excuse to be extra silly with your friends or loved ones (not that you need one). Especially when it comes to planning out group costumes.
There are so many possibilities, guys. From classics, like the Star Wars trio, to modern loves like Minecraft, there's a group costume here for you (and all the people you want to embarrass).
The Walking Dead
Simply because there is no time like Halloween to let your inner zombie roam free.

If you want to bring pure and wonderful British comedy to your Halloween, going as Vince and Howard is a must. Now all you need is a Bollo and Naboo to turn this party into a foursome.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Going as a giant blueberry sounds wonderful to me. But there are loads of characters to choose from. Roald Dahl was a winner.

Star Wars
We know Star Wars costumes have been done a zillion times, but in light of J.J. Abram’s upcoming film, I think Luke, Leia, Han and Darthy need some more costume time.

Winnie the Pooh
What could be scarier than an adorable yellow bear and his friends? Ok, maybe not. But it’s a classic tale and an epic group costume.
