10 Halloween Costume Ideas for True TV & Movie Fans
10 Halloween Costume Ideas for True TV & Movie Fans
We’re quickly approaching spooky season!
Need some Halloween costume ideas?
With all of us flocking to the costume cupboard in a panic, we thought what better time to take a little look back at some of the most iconic (and costume-worthy) movie and TV characters to hit our screens in recent years.
You know? Costumes that true movie and TV fans like yourself can really get stuck into!
We’re sure you’re sick of arriving to a party only to see 4 other Harley Quinn’s, 6 Elvis’ and a sea of Scream masks; it’s time to celebrate some brand new icons, don’t you think?
Here are some UVE’s recent favourites…
🔫 Cassian Andor | Andor
To mark the recent release of Star Wars series Andor, why not consider the cool and collected Cassian Andor?
After all, nothing could look cooler than pushing open the doors of a spooky soireé and marching in like this kick-ass member of the alliance?

💥 Wanda | WandaVision
No doubt, all the Marvel-mad amongst us have already considered appearing as the Scarlet Witch herself.
One thing the powerful Wanda Maximoff costume provides is range, that’s for sure. Opt for Wanda’s striking red super suit or her tailored 1950’s get-up – the possibilities are endless.

🤵♂️ Alfred Pennyworth | Pennyworth
Forget Batman himself, this year we’re far more interested in his loyal and faithful butler, Alfred Pennyworth.
After Series 3 of Pennyworth hit our screens this year, we’ve become obsessed with the suave former special services operative and his intriguing past. Why not don a sharp suit, or whip out the Butler’s tux and silver tray to appear as the right-hand-man himself?
GET INSPIRED BY PENNYWORTH?
✈️ Bradley Bradshaw | Top Gun: Maverick
This year, the world went wild for Miles Teller meaning there truly is no better time to pull up those overalls and stick on a faux moustache to channel your inner fighter pilot as Bradley Bradshaw.
Bradshaw earns double points for being both a classic throwback, and current costume concept.
GET INSPIRED BY TOP GUN: MAVERICK?
🩺 Dr Micheal Morbius | Morbius
Nothing quite says Halloween like an homage to the living vampire himself, Marvel’s Dr Michael Morbius.
For film fans looking for an excuse to go all-out this Halloween, Morbius provides the perfect opportunity to bring prosthesis, faux blood, fangs and makeup into the mix. Similarly, those that err more towards the side of subtlety can instead do the trick with simply coloured contacts and a hooded jacket!
GET INSPIRED BY MORBIUS?
🎸 Eddie Munson | Stranger Things
Whilst we suspect there are already many Eddie Munson costumes in the pipeline, we just had to include everyone’s favourite DnD master, Eddie Munson as one of this year’s horror heroes.
Grab that guitar, queue up Metallica’s Master of Puppets, and show that Halloween party who’s boss.
GET INSPIRED BY STRANGER THINGS?
💤 Lord Morpheus | The Sandman
Fantasy fans, this one’s for you.
This summer, Netflix took on Neil Gaiman’s comic book series, The Sandman – so why not use this Halloween to not dress up as the dark prince of dreams, Lord Morpheus?
You can keep things simple with just a sharp black overcoat, trusty raven sidekick and pouch filled with gold glitter for sending your friends to the land of nod. Now you’ve got more than just a costume; you’ve also got a great new party trick.
GET INSPIRED BY THE SANDMAN?
🔮 The Sanderson Sisters | Hocus Pocus 2
The 3 most iconic witches to ever hit Disney+.
The Sanderson Sisters are perfect for any friendship trio, and now that the sequel has just hit our screens after almost a 20-year hiatus, your timing has never been better!
GET INSPIRED BY HOCUS POCUS 2?
🏨💀 Norma & Norman Bates | Bates Motel
Everyone loves a couple costume, right?
This year, why not make your appearance as eerie Norman Bates and his doting mother, Norma?
This costume idea pays homage to Psycho‘s classic horror icon, but provides an interesting modern twist that we’re sure all true Horror fans will appreciate.
GET INSPIRED BY BATES MOTEL?
📚 Matilda / Miss Trunchbull | Matilda
We know it’s not technically out just yet, but we couldn’t resist celebrating the release of the new adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Matilda this November (Peep the trailer here!).
This year is the perfect opportunity to whip out that iconic red ribbon to play the magical Matilda, or take on the role of Miss Trunchbull just before Emma Thompson debuts as the classic disciplinarian herself!
GET INSPIRED BY MATILDA?
That’s all for now, folks – but from all of us here at Universal Extras, a very Happy Halloween! 🎃 Hop back to the UVE blog to explore even more great TV and Film content?
