Halloween Fantasy Couple Costumes

Email TRUE about this story

No matter how old you are, it's always fun to dress up for Halloween and indulge your inner kid for the night. It's even more fun when you have a partner playing along.

Sure, there are the standard options for couple costumes: angel and devil, Fred and Wilma, Romeo and Juliet, horse's head and horse's tail. But the point of dressing up is to stand out. So don't go with a conventional couple costume; instead, try one of these six great ideas that will make you and your date the joint envy of the evening:

Craig and Arianna, SNL's bubbly, goofy cheerleaders. They may not be on the show now, but they're still a great costume idea for couples. Don't forget the boom box for your halftime routine. (And you should probably each have a couple of Red Bulls to produce sufficient, um, enthusiasm.)

  First date on Halloween? Don't be spooked. Try these great date ideas:
Have an active date! Haunted houses and hay rides are great for a first date because they rule out boredom. And you’ve got room to move and a chance to breathe in some cool autumn air.

Get scared! What a better way to get to know each other? When you’re scared witless, your true personality shines through. And what other excuse do you have to hold your date's hand or cling to him completely on a first date? Knowing how scared you both were will give you something to laugh about at the end of the date and, hopefully, on dates to come.

Become intrigued and be intriguing! Take advantage of the fact that Halloween is all about the supernatural by having your palms read together. This will reveal aspects of you and your date's personalities that wouldn't usually be exposed on a first date.

Let loose! Halloween is one of the only holidays we celebrate just for fun. Relax and make the most of it. Indulge your inner Halloween imp!

'80s prom king and queen. The cheesier your outfits the better. Pastel with puffed sleeves for her, more pastel with a ruffled shirt for him. Top off your look with crowns and sashes.

Neo and Trinity. Shiny black vinyl plus dark glasses equals very, very sexy.

Napoleon and Pedro. Pedro needs a western-style shirt, cowboy boots, a mustache and a really nervous look on his face. Napoleon needs the trademark curly hair and a "Vote for Pedro" shirt. Be ready to dance like a dork possessed.

Jay and Silent Bob. This one's easy. Just grab your baggy coats, backward baseball caps and smokes. Jay: Don't forget your endearingly bad attitude. Bob: Be prepared to gesture a lot.

Paris and Nicole. Pile on the glam and stay joined at the hip.

More fun ideas:

Dorothy and Toto.

Robin Hood and Maid Marian.

Lucy and Ricky.

Ike and Tina Turner.
