Aries: Sexy Devil

Lead the way at any costume party this season by dressing up as a demon or perhaps the Prince of Darkness himself. After all, you’re a very direct person, and what could be more direct than being the ultimate encapsulation of devilish Halloween antics? Donning a costume this fiendish will be the perfect opportunity to showcase your fiery and assertive personality, as well as your strong enthusiasm for the season.

Taurus: Black Cat

You may want to join in on Halloween parties, but you’re just as likely to be content to stay home and watch scary movies while handing out candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. Either way, why not tap into the love for animals you share with the other earth signs and be a black cat this year? You can embrace your comfort-loving nature with an adorable onesie or play up your sensual side by giving your costume a sexy twist instead. Dressing up as this classic yet adorable symbol of Halloween will work either way!

Gemini: Ringmaster

Ultimately, you always want to have fun, no matter the holiday, so try getting your friends screaming with laughter this Halloween season with a humorous costume. You have a knack for making humorous connections and a wide-ranging and extensive list of interests to draw from when meeting new people. No matter the situation or the occasion, all eyes are on you when you turn on the charm. That makes the ringmaster the perfect costume choice for this whip-smart sign.

Cancer: Vampire

You may sometimes grow weary of hearing about how moody your sign can be, but Halloween is the perfect time to embrace your thoughtful and emotive nature! Even before they got sexy, thanks to franchises like Interview with a Vampire and Twilight, vampires have often been portrayed with a sense of gloom and tragedy, perhaps due to the ramifications of eternal life. You’ll find you effortlessly exude this energy if you slip into the guise of this legendary monster for your Halloween festivities.

Leo: Royal Figure

It’s no secret how much you love to be the center of attention, so lean into it this year by crowning yourself as the royal you truly are! Dressing up as any royal figure, whether historical or current, gives you a chance to shine even amidst the multitude of other costumes around you. You’ll feel right at home embodying the spirit of a radiant monarch, lifting the spirits of those around you even on the darkest Halloween night.

Virgo: Mummy

You’re probably used to cleaning up other people’s messes on a regular basis, so why not go prepared this year? This costume is simple yet effective and appeals to your modest nature by giving you the chance to join in on Halloween shenanigans without grabbing too much-unwanted attention. Your practical streak will also be satisfied to get multiple uses out of this costume if you go the classic toilet paper mummy route!

Libra: Fairy

Manifest your social and charming disposition for Halloween by dressing up as this mythical creature, often portrayed in media, with an appreciation for beauty and romance like yours. You may choose to be a bright, cute fairy, as seen with characters like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, or you may choose to channel the dark, mischievous fairies of ancient Irish legend if you’d prefer to contribute to the spooks of the season instead.

Scorpio: Witch

Halloween falls during Scorpio season each year, and it’s likely you already feel very connected to this holiday due to your penchant for all things dark and mysterious. Embrace your spellbinding personality as it’s at the height of its power by donning this classic costume for All Hallows Eve. It also gives you an ideal opportunity to tap into your sexy side if you want!

Sagittarius: Clown

You never take things too seriously anyway, so why start with Halloween? You can be as goofy or scary as you want with this costume choice, and either way, you’ll get plenty of chances to showcase your comedic streak. Like many events in life, you view Halloween as a night for a fun adventure, and dressing up as a clown will be a surefire way to make it a memorable one.

Capricorn: Zombie

You’re a steady, methodical, and persistent person, much like the zombies you see in horror movies as they relentlessly pursue the living. Though you prefer to dedicate your pursuits to your goals in life, you may find you can relate to a zombie’s ability to zero in on a desire and stick to it with tenacity no matter what. This, along with your dry and understated sense of humor, makes you the perfect candidate to put on the perfect zombie act this Halloween.

Aquarius: Alien

Fitting in isn’t really your thing, so it makes sense for you to try a costume that’s completely out of this world. There are so many different ways you could interpret your version of an alien, meaning you can be as unpredictable and shocking with your portrayal as you want. You love to subvert expectations and surprise others, so embrace the freedom this costume provides for you to get truly inventive.

Pisces: Ghost

Ghosts are said to exist in a space somewhere between the living and the dead, no longer inhabiting their earthly bodies yet unable to cross over to the other side fully. As a dreamer with an esoteric disposition, you’re likely to be very familiar with this feeling of suspended existence and detachment from the real world, and you’ll feel right at home slipping into the guise of a ghost.
