Twins can have a lot of fun at Halloween. What can be more entertaining than watching people take a double take as they realize that the two people standing before them not only have similarly themed costumes, but also look very much alike? The only problem twins might have on Halloween is finding the perfect costume. Twins may not want to simply have the same costumes on Halloween. Fortunately there are Halloween costume ideas below that can appeal to twins who simply want to look alike, and also twins who want to add a story to their similar features.

Jekyll and Hyde

What more can be said about this Halloween costume idea for twins? One twin wears sharp business-like attire with properly groomed hair, while the other twin takes an identical garment and cuts the Halloween costume up, maybe applies some fake blood and "dirty" makeup, and wields a large fake knife with "entrails" hanging from it. To complete the effect of this Halloween costume fit for twins, be sure to "argue" with each other about who is "in control".

Star Wars clone troopers

Star Wars costumes are all the rage and it just so happens that they can be a great Halloween idea for twins. Star Wars clone troopers all look the same, and only the gear and identification patches tell them apart. This is a very simple, but perhaps somewhat expensive, Halloween costume for twins who do not really want to put a lot of effort in acting out a story, find complete trooper sets at Officialstarwarscostumes.com or click here. Be sure to leave the helmets off, but take them with you in case you want pictures taken.

Good cop, bad cop costume for twins

Similar to the Jekyll and Hyde costume idea for twins, acting out the roles of good cop/bad cop can make for an entertaining evening. To round off the effect, be sure to include "safe" props such as a notepad and first aid kit for the good twin and "dangerous" props such as guns and sticks for the bad twin. The more extreme the opposites are, the better the gag will be.

Terminator Halloween costume

An assembly line of killer robots that are all replicas is a great idea for a Halloween costume for twins. There are costume packages available every Halloween that produce the effect of torn "skin" peeling away from the robotic frame on the face, check it out on Amazon or click here. No other props are necessary unless you simply want to add more yourself.

Time traveler costume for twins

The simplest way to utilize time travel into a Halloween costume idea for twins is to go the "old" and "young" route. Get a white wig and add some facial "age marks" with makeup. One twin should have newer clothes and the other should have a shabby or outdated effect. To make the time travel aspect of this costume believable, the "future" twin should have some sort of technological props.
