There are two types of people in the world: those who plan out their Halloween costumes a year in advance, and those who run to a Target or thrift store hours before the Halloween party and just buy whatever they look cutest in.
Well, in case you don’t want to reprise “Flirty Nurse” or “Priest with a Boner” for the third year in a row, we’ve made a list of relevant Halloween costumes that are pretty easy to put together — and by pretty easy, we mean pretty cheap!
Take a gander at our list of costume ideas (below) inspired by characters in the year’s biggest horror movies, TV shows, and other pop culture phenomenons from throughout 2019!

Scoops Ahoy Employee
You don’t need Steve Harrington hair to rock this costume, dingus! Use one of the most iconic pieces of wardrobe in Season 3 of Stranger Things (sorry, Dustin’s hat) for your own scoop-o-licious Halloween. Spirit Halloween offers both men’s and women’s version of the costume for just $49.99!
The May Queen From ‘Midsommar’
Want to release your inner Pagan goddess this Halloween? You can slay as the May Queen from Ari Aster‘s fairytale nightmare with ease! You can get her Floral Embroidered Back Dress for just $24.00 on Shein and a flower crown wreath headband for $12.99 on Amazon. It’s as simple as breaking up with a bad boyfriend!
The Bride From ‘Ready Or Not’
You don’t have to seek out a badass Halloween costume anymore. Samara Weaving‘s character from the acclaimed horror-comedy is a no brainer! Just find a wedding dress at a thrift store (or use your own if you’re wild like that!), cut up the bottom, thrown on some chucks, and strap on a bandolier bullet belt (which you can get for $10 at Spirit Halloween.) We’d advise against including the shotgun, depending on which state you live in.
The Doppelgängers From ‘Us’
There are plenty of ways to dress up as the underground doppelgängers from Jordan Peele‘s latest scream fest. You could buy the full costume on Amazon — or DIY! Sure, the ASOS red jumpsuit is almost twice the price of the actual costume, but you could wear it again and slay at any holiday party.
‘Old Town Road’
Want to be the coolest cowboys on the block this Halloween? Here’s what you need: a “matte black” hat for $14.99 on Amazon (it does not have to be Gucci, as the song suggests), Canyon Trails black rodeo boots for $39.99, an ASMAX suede leather tassel biker jacket, and a pair of rhinestone epaulettes for the bling factor.
Ashley O
You could be on a roll this Halloween looking like Miley Cyrus‘ fictional pop star from the latest season of Black Mirror. Amazon offers faux-leather shiny shorts for $14.99, a white party crop top bra for $22.99, thigh high white boots for about $70, and that o-conic purple wig for $18.
Burger & Fries Besties
To all the besties and former enemies who want to display their friendship to the world this Halloween, consider being this “happy meal” seen in Taylor Swift‘s You Need To Calm Down music video. Target sells both the beef costume for $30 and the side dish for $36.90. Don’t fight over who gets to be what!
Nadia From ‘Russian Doll’
How about being an un-killable cock-o-roach this Halloween? Get Natasha Lyonne‘s high fashion look with this Notch Collar Boyfriend Blazer from Express for $108, this gold plated necklace with a vintage coin charm from ASOS for $13, and of course a $14 curly red haired-wig for Nadia’s signature locks.
There you have it! Will YOU be putting together any of these costumes, Perezcious procrastinators?
