And just like every other year, there will always be one completely overdone costume. A great example of this is when Suicide Squad dropped, and everyone went as Harley Quinn.
The big couples costumes for Halloween this year are gonna be
1.Joker+Harley Quinn
2.Trump+Hillary
3.Sully+ the airplane

2022 has given us some zingers in pop culture, such as Stranger Things, Elvis, House Of The Dragon, which will likely serve as some Halloween inspo for this year.
Costume analytic Frightgeist also gives an annual report on what is the hottest costume is for the year both nationally and locally.

Quick disclaimer, if you end up doing these costumes it’s not a bad thing at all, but if you want to be unique this year the folllowing are a bunch of costumes to avoid.
So without further ado, here’s a list of costumes that could be overdone this Halloween.
1. Eddie Munson
Eddie Munson is an iconic character from Netflix’s hit show Stranger Things. He was introduced to the fandom in Season 4 which premiered earlier this year, and since then he’s been a fan favourite. One of his most iconic scenes turned viral (the scene when Chrissy is caught by Venca). The scene became so viral that it was remixed into a song that blew up on TikTok.
@strangerthings.exp Chrissy, wake up!! You’re gonna miss @marisellabella sweet moves ??? #StrangerThingsExperience #StrangerThings #Netflix #chrissywakeup ♬ original sound – StrangerThings.Experience
Due to his popularity on the internet as well as his low maintenance costume, Eddie Munson will definitely be overdone. Plus who doesn’t like being a grunge rocker boy once a year?
2. Someone from the Targaryen family
Although House Of The Dragon just dropped, it’s without a doubt that we will be seeing a bunch of Targaryen’s running amuck on the street this Halloween.
I remember when Game Of Thrones was a thing and every hot girl slayed as Khalessi, AKA The Mother Of Dragons.
With a larger range of silver haired characters, GOT fans will defs put their own spin on the Targaryen family. Just make sure you don’t end up on Junkee’s bad wig rating.
3. Sexy Elf
Lord Of The Rings came through this year with The Rings Of Power and of course, who could forget the elves.
I still remember the day I first laid eyes on Legolas and I was instantly in love, so who wouldn’t want to be a hot elf this Halloween?! Elves are often very elegant so it gives an opportunity for the fantasy girlies to pull out their most magical fits for this one night of the year.
One problem you may face as an elf is people asking which Targaryen you are, so best to get those elf ears ASAP.
4. Mystery Inc
With the recent news of Velma coming out, and Mindy Kaling’s HBO spin-off series around the corner, it’s without a doubt that Velma will be a popular costume choice.
@irlkate A very Scooby Halloween?. #halloween #scoobydoo #viral #fyp ♬ original sound – Meech
Dressing up as Mystery Inc is super easy as well, and a lot of the things needed to replicate their look can be found at the op-shop. Also you can have a furry friend to finish off your group costume!
@sophiamangooo Scooby gang PURRRRR RUH ROH RAGGYYYY #scoobydoo #halloween #spooky #halloweenlook ♬ original sound – ?
Some people have also gotten creative and taken different parts of the live-action movies and turned them into costumes such as hot Velma and the chick version of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.

5. Jeffrey Dahmer
With the success of Netflix’s Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, I have a sinking filming that some viewers may turn Dahmer into a real life costume.
And if that does become a reality, dressing up as Jeffrey Dahmer for Halloween is extremely distasteful especially to victim’s families who may come across pics of these costumes.
People on Twitter have also called out this terrible idea.
if you dress up as Jeffrey Dahmer for halloween i hope someone knocks y*u out. he was not a fictional character, nor should he be a costume. he was a heinous human being who murdered and mutilated young boys and men.

#Halloween2022 TO ALL KIDS N MY AREA?IF YOU DRESS UP LIKE JEFFERY DAHMER U WILL NOT GET CANDY FROM MY HOME ? ANY OTHER COSTUME WILL BE SHOWERED WITH CANDY N BOOSIE CHIPS‼️I LOVE THE KIDS BUT ALL “LITTLE DAHMERS”PLEASE SKIP MY HOUSE #thanks
— Boosie BadAzz (@BOOSIEOFFICIAL) October 15, 2022
songs mentioning jeffrey dahmer going viral, memes, jokes and even edits about this vile man is being made 24/7 on tiktok, several influencers are even planning to dress up as him in halloween? this movie was a mistake cause why is a serial killer being celebrated like this?
— s. (@saescentric) October 16, 2022
The mother of Tony Hughes, who was a victim of Jeffrey Dahmer, spoke out about the trend, telling TMZ, “it’s already super triggering to see a hit Netflix series about the serial killer, much less folks dressing like the killer.”
Although Halloween isn’t that big in Australia, we really hope people do the responsible thing and not do this.
6. Eshay
ca$h went from eshay to eslay real quick #HeartbreakHigh pic.twitter.com/9SAhWlUVR7
— cat | STREAM HEARTBREAK HIGH (@honeyandsin) September 16, 2022
Living in Western Sydney, eshays would come around house to house for candy in their lad gear, so I feel like this look has been around for ages and I’ve grown numb to it. But with the popularity of Heartbreak High, eshay and lad-wear will undoubtedly be a popular look this Halloween.
god knows i needed this eshay translation thank u pic.twitter.com/zlSrZkYy0m
— mari !! (@rnbooMilo) October 10, 2022
Dressing up as an eshay is super duper easy, you could probs find half the stuff at an op-shop. Eshay wear is also super comfy, so it would be an easy enough thing to dress up for a last minute spooky gatho.
7. Elvis and Priscilla
The internet was FROTHING over Elvis when it dropped a couple of months ago. ICYMI, Elvis was a movie based on the rock ‘n’ roll icon Elvis Presley, who was played by Austin Butler.
Ever since the movie dropped, fans have shared their Elvis and Priscilla looks on TikTok. As a couple, or as singles, I think Elvis and Priscilla will be an overdone costume due to the movie, but if put together well, it’s a slay.
@lindseykoster This would be such an iconic costume #halloweencostumeideas #halloweencostume2022 #fyp #costumeideas #collegecostumes #halloweendiycostume ♬ Monster Mash – Bobby “Boris” Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers
8. Wednesday Addams
Firstly, I’d like to say that Wednesday Addams has always been a popular costume.
All you need is two braids, a black dress, pale makeup, and a blank stare. With Netflix’s Wednesday coming out on the 23rd of November, we reckon there may be a few out there dressing up as the iconic gothic little girl.
.@WednesdayAddams is the girl of your nightmares. The twisted new series from the mind of Tim Burton drops this fall. pic.twitter.com/7teUcCxgXt
— Netflix Geeked (@NetflixGeeked) August 17, 2022
Just like most of the costumes on this list, it is a super easy fit, esp for those who are looking for a last minute costume but you may spot another Wednesday Addams walking down the street.
9. Cowboy/Cowgirl
Ever since ‘Old Town Road’ by Lil Nas X became a viral hit, the cowboy/cowgirl aesthetic has taken over a range of events including Halloween, music festivals, and themed parties.

However, cowpeople may be back on the rise with the move Nope being focused on all thing yeehaw and extraterrestrial.
10. Squid Game
When Squid Game dropped on Netflix last year, it seemed like the world went through a whole cultural reset.
From our shared hate for Sang-Woo and our shared crush for Sae-Byeok, it felt like everyone was on the Squid Game wave. So without a doubt, the Squid Game tracksuits and the guard costumes will probably be around for a while for the next 10 years.
11. Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe has always been a fashion icon! From her signature red lip, her white dress, and her iconic hot pink gown when she sung ‘Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend,’ her looks are timeless.
There are even some influencers who make a living looking like her.
@jasminechiswellSo after I filmed this…I cried ? sometimes things just hit home. You never know what people are going through…please be kind ❤️♬ Lonely – Justin Bieber & benny blanco
But despite the rocky reviews of 2022’s Blonde, Marilyn Monroe’s unforgettable looks are beginning to be remade, and it could possibly be the It Girl costume of 2022.
Again I want to reiterate that these are just a bunch of costumes that could be popular this year, so if you’re planning to be someone on this list, unashamedly be them!
Be who you wanna be and work it!
