OK, so you’ve gotten yourself talked into going to the big Halloween party with a group of friends, and you’d all like to go as a themed group? But what to wear? It’s really not that hard to come up with group costume ideas if you just follow a few simple principles.

It’s too simple and cliché to go as ghosts and vampires, but you can easily come up with some better ideas if you just remember you’re a group of individuals. Really the hard part is getting everyone to agree on the theme.

Take any character people generally dress up as, and build it out with a supporting cast. Harry Potter by himself is way overdone, but if you get a whole group together as Hogwarts students and faculty and you may have something. Get a couple of people to go as a Griffin or giant spider or basilisk (supposed to be more like a lizard than a snake, by the way, but I liked the movie anyway) and you have a great twist on the ordinary.

Frankenstein and his bride may go un-noticed as there are so many, but add in Victor, Elizabeth, Igor and some townspeople with pitchforks and torches, and you have a real show going.

There’s always a couple dressed as bride and groom, but hey this is Halloween, it’s supposed to be scary. Make an entire undead wedding party, complete with a demonic preacher and you’ve got a winner.

Just keep thinking along these lines. Take a standard character with a good storyline, add in the supporting cast with a few simple props, and you have some great group costume ideas.
