Halloween Costume Ideas for Groups
Halloween group costumes are a perfect way to make an entrance, create amazing photos, and turn any event into a memorable night. When everyone in the group coordinates, it amplifies the fun and creativity without needing expensive pieces. The best part is that these looks can be built with affordable, everyday clothing. This list includes a mix of male and female outfit ideas designed for 3–8 people, blending pop culture, classic themes, and playful aesthetics. Each concept works well for teens, young adults, and friend groups looking to stand out together.
1. Classic Haunted House Cast
Each person dresses as a different spooky archetype — a vampire, ghost, skeleton, witch, or monster. This theme works great for groups of 4–8 and can be as simple or dramatic as you want. It gives a coordinated but flexible vibe, letting everyone add their personal flair.
2. Retro Diner Crew
Inspired by 1950s Americana. Think varsity jackets, polka dot skirts, leather jackets, and pastel tones. This group costume has a nostalgic vibe and works well for friends who want a cute, vintage look.
3. Space Squad
A team of astronauts, aliens, and space explorers. Silver outfits, patches, and glowing accessories give a futuristic group aesthetic. It’s perfect for night parties with lighting or glow-in-the-dark themes.
4. Greek Gods & Goddesses
A timeless Halloween theme. Togas, gold accessories, and flowing fabrics make this easy to create and impressive in photos. Each person can pick a different god or goddess, giving variety within a coordinated look.
5. Garden Fairytale
A magical woodland group with fairies, sprites, forest witches, and flower nymphs. Pastel dresses, wings, and flower crowns make this one enchanting and soft. Ideal for groups of 3–6.
6. 80s High School Squad
A lively retro theme inspired by old teen movies. Letterman jackets, neon colors, tracksuits, and denim jackets bring the era to life. Everyone can mix different 80s substyles while staying cohesive.
7. Pirates & Sailors
An adventurous group costume that works for both guys and girls. Pirate hats, boots, sailor stripes, and bandanas create a cohesive look while leaving room for personality.
8. Carnival Troupe
Colorful, playful, and expressive. Clowns, ringmasters, mimes, and acrobats make a great group statement. It’s visually dynamic and perfect for big friend groups.
9. Secret Agents
Sleek black suits, sunglasses, and earpieces make this a simple but strong group costume. Great for 3–5 people who want a minimal but coordinated vibe.
10. Royal Court
A regal theme with kings, queens, knights, and jesters. Capes, crowns, and rich colors make this group stand out dramatically. Perfect for friends who love a bit of theatrical flair.
11. Circus of Shadows
A darker take on the carnival theme. Gothic clowns, ringmasters, and masked figures create an eerie but powerful visual effect — ideal for night events.
12. Travelers Through Time
Each person dresses from a different era — medieval, Victorian, 1920s, 80s, and future. A creative and flexible way to have everyone express something unique while staying connected through theme.
13. Urban Streetwear Monsters
A modern twist on classic Halloween creatures. Hoodies, cargo pants, sneakers, and masks give vampires, ghosts, or demons a Gen-Z streetwear makeover.
14. Cosmic Festival Crew
Think galaxy print, neon accents, metallic accessories, and glitter. A bright, bold look for big friend groups who love dancing, lights, and creative makeup.
15. Haunted Library
A subtle but creative idea. Gothic scholars, cursed bookkeepers, witches in vintage suits, and ghostly librarians make a moody, elegant group theme.
