Recreate the Beetlejuice look in a pinstripe suit, wild green hair, pale face paint with dark, and sunken eyes.

A simple yet spooky look to recreate is Billy the Puppet from Saw. Paint your face stark white with signature bright red cheek spirals, a black tuxedo, and a blood-red bow tie.

Wear a faded orange footie pajamas, patched burlap sack mask with button eyes, and carry a half-eaten pumpkin to dress as cute yet eerie Sam from Trick 'r Treat.

If you're looking for something effortlessly elegant, and glamourous, dress as Morticia Addams in a floor-sweeping, form-fitting black gown with dramatic bell or batwing sleeves. Pair it with bone-white skin, a stark center-parted long black wig, and a crimson lip.

Ghostface from Scream is one of the easiest character to recreate. Simply put on elongated white ghost mask with stretched black hollow eyes and mouth, and pair with a black hooded robe. Carry a knife along to strike the pose.

Recreate Pennywise's iconic look with a ruffled Victorian-style clown suit, vivid red nose, stark red lip lines stretching up to the eyes, and don't forget the red balloon.

Sport a blank, expressionless white-painted rubber mask, paired with a weathered navy or dark grey mechanic's jumpsuit to turn into Michael Myers from Halloween.

Turn into Valak from The Nun in a stark black-and-white nun robe paired with a terrifyingly pale, decaying demonic makeup, and hollow yellow eyes.

If you want to twin with your pal, recreate the Grady Twins from The Shining by wearing matching vintage, light-blue babydoll dresses with pink ribbons, white knee-high socks. Sport a blank, unblinking stare to send chills down the spine.

Turn into Wednesday Addams in a dark black dress with a crisp white pointy collar, braided pigtails, and deadpan-ready dark lipstick.
