Halloween Costume Ideas for Gay Couples

Nik Minor
Halloween is the perfect holiday where folks can truly let loose. For some, it's a time to get a little naughty. For others, Halloween is all about the laughs. For couples, it's a time to make fun. This Halloween, convince your beau to suit up in one of these Halloween costumes for gay couples.

Halloween Costumes for Gay Couples

While the following costumes ideas aren't limited to gay guys, they are uniquely suited. You'd have a hard time finding straight guys who a: wanted to and b: could pull these off. With that in mind, consider these costumes for couples.

Gay Couple Halloween Costume Ideas for Buff Dudes

Please note that the following costumes should only be attempted if you and your man regularly frequent the gym.

Dutch and Dillon

Forget the alien, what was more impressive was that handshake between this ridiculously ripped duo, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers.

Rocky and Apollo Creed or Ivan Drago

Rocky and Apollo Creed are an easily recognizable duo and don't require much in the costume department. That makes this duo perfect for a buff, gay couple. Or substitute Apollo with Drago, played by Dolph Lungdren. After he kills Apollo Creed, he solidifies his place as Rocky's ultimate nemesis.

Batman and Robin

This fun Halloween costume is perfect for fit couples, which is why it will probably be at Halloween parties for years to come.

Gay Couple Halloween Costume Ideas: Celebrities

While you could go as legitimate celebrity gay couples, being that most of them aren't recognizable, you'd probably need name tags. Instead, elicit laughs and go as one of these recognizable duos, perfectly suited as a couple's costume idea.

Nicholas and Danny

The guys behind Shawn of the Dead didn't disappoint with their follow up flick, Hot Fuzz. Simon Pegg plays a top notch cop who's paired with the lovable Danny Butterman (played by Nick Frost). Together, they uncover the dark secrets of the small town their enlisted to protect and serve.

Wham!

Isn't hard to believe George Michael was ever innocent? Decades before the bathroom incident, he and Andrew Ridgeley headed Wham!.

Han Solo and Chewbacca

The heroes of Star Wars are two peas in a pod. There's no greater team off Earth than Hans Solo and his first mate, Chewbacca.

Starksy and Hutch

The 1970s hit series about two equally handsome detectives ran for 4 years. If you've got great hair, this one's for you.

The Ambiguously Gay Duo

Just keep in mind that this Halloween costume idea requires spandex.
