8 Halloween costume ideas inspired by 2024 horror movies

As a horror enthusiast with a soft spot for unique and creative costumes, I find this list absolutely captivating! From the enchanting Lisa Frankenstein to the chilling duo of Sister Cecilia and Margaret, each costume on this list offers a tantalizing blend of fear and fascination.

The spooky season has arrived, and just like me, if you’ve left your costume planning until the eleventh hour, don’t worry! There’s still plenty of time to choose an impressive outfit for all the Halloween gatherings on your calendar. If you’re a horror movie enthusiast who’s been eagerly following this year’s fantastic film releases, there’s no need to fret – you can still create an amazing costume!

This list offers a variety of options, from ‘Longlegs’ to ‘MaXXXine’, ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’, and ‘Lisa Frankenstein’. If you’re seeking a fashionable costume inspired by one of the most popular horror films in 2024, this collection should suit your needs!

1. Dale Kobble, a.k.a. Longlegs or Agent Lee Harker

In a delightful twist of events, “Longlegs” emerged as the unexpected sensation of the year, and fortunately for its enthusiasts, assuming the role of the central character is quite straightforward. To embody the title character, Dale Kobble, the notorious serial killer, you only require a disheveled blonde wig and a worn-out denim jacket. However, in another scene, Dale is also seen wearing a long-sleeved shirt underneath a patterned blue shirt.

Alternatively, you could dress up as the character Lee from the interrogation scene by sporting a prison jumpsuit that gives the appearance of a tan, pairing it with handcuffs for added authenticity. For makeup, focus on applying generous amounts of foundation and lipstick to achieve his distinctive look. To embody Lee, style your hair in a ponytail (or use a wig) and secure an FBI jacket from Amazon or similar costume retailers. Don’t forget to include a fake FBI badge and gun in your ensemble as well.

2. Maxine Minx

For quite some time, individuals have been donning costumes inspired by Maxine or Pearl. Fortunately, there’s a wealth of makeup tutorials and resources available online. With the recent theater release of MaXXXine in July, it’s likely that the character portrayed by Mia Goth will see a revival this Halloween season.

There are several styles to imitate from the movie, such as the one with her wearing a green jacket or the outfit she wore during her audition. The audition style can be replicated using a front-zip denim tank top or a halter top matched with the same shade of jeans pants. Alternatively, you could opt for a more daring look inspired by her nightclub appearance, where she has red stripes on her eyes and face.

3. Beetlejuice or Lydia Deetz

These two costumes are quite simple since numerous pre-made options are readily available for you. You can easily find a costume based on Lydia Deetz’s iconic looks, either the striking red dress or her classic black attire.

Additionally, you might find costumes designed to shrink, perfect for fans who developed affection towards characters such as Bob. Despite Jenna Ortega delivering an exceptional performance as Astrid Deetz, many are likely to prefer her well-known role as Wednesday Addams instead.

4. Lisa Frankenstein

For individuals seeking a dress reminiscent of the one worn by Lisa Frankenstein in the film, there’s a range of options available to choose from, offering plenty of diversity when it comes to styling this outfit.

The key aspect is ensuring the hairstyle and black accessory (either a hair bow or ribbon) are accurately replicated first. After that, feel free to pick any of her adorable costumes from the movie for your personal interpretation. It’s quite possible you can find many pieces in second-hand stores, but if you have a particular dress in mind, search online for it.

5. The Strangers

As a passionate horror enthusiast, I can’t help but reminisce about “The Stranger: Chapter 1.” Although it didn’t leave an indelible mark on the minds of this year’s fans, its impressive box office performance is undeniable. With two more films in the pipeline to wrap up the trilogy, I have no doubt that its presence will linger in our collective consciousness for some time to come.

Dressing up as strangers for Halloween can be effortlessly achieved! Essentially, you can don any outfit you fancy and accessorize with a mask and a prop weapon of your preference. It continues to be a favorite choice due to its simplicity and enduring appeal.

6. Glinda or Elphaba

Of course, “Wicked” isn’t a horror film, but it does feature both the Wicked Witch and the Good Witch, so I think that’s quite fitting! If you’re looking to embody a witch for something other than the typical Halloween festivities, these characters could be just what you need.

The musical “Wicked” won’t hit theaters until November, but promotional efforts are in full gear and it seems many will be sporting Glinda or Elphaba costumes this Halloween. If you don’t mind splurging a bit, finding a costume for these characters is quite straightforward since there are numerous pre-made options available.

7. Sister Cecilia or Margaret

An accessible costume idea is to dress up as either Sister Cecilia (portrayed by Sydney Sweeney in ‘Immaculate’) or Margaret (played by Nell Tiger Free in ‘The First Omen’). Given the abundance of nun costumes available, this choice is quite convenient. If you wish to add a unique twist, consider fashioning your outfit based on how these characters appeared at the end of their respective movies. To enhance the eerie effect, don’t forget to add some artificial blood and a touch of creepiness to complete the ensemble.

8. Elisabeth or Sue

The Substance is easily one of this year’s best horror movies and will likely continue to gain popularity. Plus, the vibrant color scheme and body horror make it a haven for costume ideas. You could go as Elisabeth, wearing her iconic long yellow trenchcoat and bringing a syringe filled with lime-green fluid with you. Add a long black wig and maybe a creepy witchy finger to really sell it. Or you could go as Sue in her bright pink “Pump It Up” outfit. If you’re feeling really bold you could also try to go as…that character who appears in the final act, SPOILER! Yes, I’m referring to Monstro Elisasue.
