My family does dress up. We all love it. Book Week, fancy dress parties and ESPECIALLY Halloween, it’s our thing (OK maybe it’s mostly MY thing…..but anyway) We’ve done the Adams family, zombie family, skeleton family, Egyptian family, werewolf pack, day of the dead and this year……..VAMPIRES!
Halloween doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune on buying complete costumes though. Take a look around your house and see what you can use as a base, add the right accessories and you’re sorted!
And parents, this means YOU TOO! The kids will love seeing you dressed up too and you can all go Trick or Treating together! Why not get a group of friends or family together and have a Halloween party this year! FUN!
We’ve teamed up with costumes.com.au to bring you a few family Halloween costumes that can be as easy and inexpensive as a ten dollar mask, right up to an all out full body Halloween extravaganza. Below are some of the best ideas I’ve found on their website this year. The ideas below contain affiliate links, so if you make a purchase we make a small commission and for that we thank you!
Witches
A witch costume can be as easy as wearing all black and adding a $10 witches hat to a completely witchified outfit including a fake nose. And there’s something for all sizes.
Mask Up
Now if you’re really looking for an easy Halloween costume, why not just grab a mask. Go all out with a full head latex number (they are pretty scary!!) or something cute like this Beetlejuice mask. There’s a mask for everyone from Momo to Gizmo (and yes I”m taking about Gizmo from Gremlins)
Bat Family
Take a black pair of leggings, pants or shorts and a black tshirt. Add a set of bat wings and you’re the bat family! Wings start from $9.95
Zombie Sports Team
Throw on your sports uniform. Add some Zombie Blood and you’re the zombie sports team! Actually you can zombify pretty much any outfit with the right make up and accessories
Ghosts
Not keen on donating one of your good white sheets to Trick or Treating? This ghost cape is only $26.95 and you can use it over and over again. Will fit most kids and ships within 24 hours.
Skeleton Family
Skeletons are another fun family theme that can be as easy or as all out as you like. Grab a pair of bone tights and bone glovees and you’ve got a costume for under fifty bucks, or even easier you can grab the kids a skeleton onesie, they even come in a glow in the dark style.
Day of the Dead
Dress up in ALL the colours you can find. Add an awesome mask and you’re Day of the Dead family! Masks from $12.95. Face tattoo kits from $6.95 >>
Vampires
Halloween wouldn’t be right without a vampire! Black pants + white shirt + cape + fangs + a bit of fake blood. Too easy! costumes.com.au have adults and childrens Vampire costumes for under twenty bucks at the moment and they ship within 24 hours!
Cute Pumpkins
If you’re kids aren’t into the scary Halloween costumes, is there anything cuter than a little round Halloween pumpkin? This is also available in a toddler dress costume. Cutie pumpkinootie.

Stranger Things is always a popular choice for Halloween. The whole family can theme up dressed ast Dustin or Eleven, there’s even a Demogorgon!

Like it or loathe it, Halloween is growing in popularity every year with more and more kids dressing up and trick or treating the streets. This year it falls on Thursday October 31. Just remember. Halloween is not compulsory. If you hate it, and you don’t want to participate that’s more than fine. Turn your front light off and post a friendly note on the door letting people know not to knock. Just don’t poo poo on the people who think it’s fun (like us)
