Happy haunting!

Do you have your Halloween costume picked out yet? Well, consider a fun group costume for Halloween.
The best thing about group Halloween costumes is that they offer more creativity than individual costumes do.
Think about your favorite characters from movies, books, and television, or your favorite music groups. Sure, it's cute to go as, say, Baby Spice for Halloween, but all the Spice Girls together? Now that is epic!
You're probably heading somewhere with a group anyway, so why not make the most of it?
Trying to get a bunch of different people to agree on what group costume to wear can be easier said than done. It's important that everyone is cool with the choice.
Don't get in a fight over a Halloween costume! Make sure everyone is on board and loving the idea. That's the best way to spend one of the best holidays of the year. It's all about fun.
Another perk of joining forces for a Halloween costume with other people? You can have a blast preparing the costumes with each other.
Take a day and spend some time with your friends shopping at your local Halloween store — or have a pre-Halloween party to create some awesome DIY costumes.
Group costumes don't have to just be with your friends, either. Halloween costumes can be a family affair. After all, you're still a group, right?
If you're a parent and taking your little ones trick-or-treating, this can be a great way for the family to get in on the Halloween fun together. Getting to dress up can be just as enjoyable for parents as well.
