Five Unique Costume Ideas for Couples

Couple's Extreme Halloween Costumes

Rebecca Rosenburg
Halloween is an excellent time to let your creativity flow. These five Halloween costume ideas for couples are recipes for a successful, sexy All Hallows Eve. Romeo and Juliet is the epitome of deadly romance stories. The trick in making this costume work is to create a unique twist that others in your party are not likely to consider. Perhaps you and your partner could switch roles; Romeo and Juliet in drag with the man dressing as Juliet and the woman dressing as Romeo. This works best when Juliet is complete with make-up and a curly blond wig. Another possibility is playing the Shakespearean couple after death. Romeo and Juliet rotting corpse costumes certainly make a statement of not only tragedy but ingenuity.

If you and your partner are science fiction geeks who love Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BTVS), Buffy and Angel are a perfect Halloween couple. If you are feeling a bit more frisky, go with Buffy and Spike instead. The more perverted among you may prefer Buffy and Giles costumes. A sexy vampire costume sans the teeth and pale skin works perfectly as a Buffy costume and men have many costume choices, such as black tuxedo, to turn into a dapper Angel or Spike. A tweed suit and reading glasses completes a Giles costume, but even better is Giles as a hot Scottie. Willow and Tara are the BTVS couples' costume of choice for lesbian couples. Evil Willow in her dark sexy dress bent on revenge with dead Tara by her side ensures a scary costume contest victory.

Gomez and Morticia Halloween costumes are arguably the sexiest couples' costumes available. Morticia wearing a floor length see-through black number accompanied by Gomez in a black tuxedo turns heads wherever they go. Although the Addams Family's most famous couple is a popular Halloween costume choice for couples, it is possible to stand out from the Addams Family crowd. Go super sexy while keeping the creepy goth look for a memorable Morticia and Gomez Halloween costume.

The last installment of the Harry Potter series may inspire couples to choose magical Halloween costumes inspired by the world of Harry Potter. Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald are perfect costume choices for gay couples on Halloween. Bring Dumbledore and Grindelwald's magical romance to life with matching beards and competing wands. Nymphadora Tonks' sporting pink hair and a pigs snout hanging on the arm of Remus Lupin in werewolf form is not an obvious choice for a Harry Potter world couple's costume, but is certainly unique.

A first mate sailor is not complete without a bewitching beauty hanging from his arm. Play the first mate sailor on first shore leave in a year while your partner plays the sexiest beauty in the room on All Hallows Eve. If sea sickness is a problem, an Army Sergeant costume is the answer. Ladies need only find a sexy vampire or sexy witch costume without the hat to join the buff Army Sergeant as his Halloween eye candy.
