MDXSU's Top Ten Halloween Costumes
Coming to the MDXSU Haunted House Party this Thursday 27th October?
We've got some outfit inspiration for you, with plenty of DIY-friendly options too - no excuses!
There will be a prize in store on Thursday for the best costume, so dress to impress...
1. Stranger Things
Did you binge-watch Stranger Things this summer? The supernatural theme is perfect for Halloween, and there are so many retro-dressed characters to riff off.

2. Killer Selfie
Bring your favourite Snapchat filters into the real world, whether you go for something scary or just recreate that flower crown/golden butterfly look you're never seen without...
3. Skeleton
A Halloween classic whether you invest in a ready-made outfit or get creative with some black clothing and some paper/paint. Just FYI, there's an 85% chance this outfit will involve a onesie or at least leggings #maximumcomfort #sold
4. Wednesday Addams
Plaits... Black dress... A sizable helping of cynicism and misanthropy... done.
5. Stitched Up
Although not a full costume as such, this simple idea is a creative way of adding a touch of terror to any outfit. Also gives you the perfect excuse to avoid talking to someone... Not that you'd want to do that...
6. Ventriloquist Dummy
Grab yourself a shirt and a bowtie, stick on some face paint and voila! Halloween ready.
7. Two Faced
This probably wins the award for the trippiest costume on our list. Perfect if you've got a great outfit you want to wear, but still want to creep people out just a little bit...
8. Zombie
An oldie but a goodie, and totally DIY-friendly too. Pick up some fake blood and crack out the smokey-eye kit and give yourself a morbid makeover.
9. Game of Thones
There's loads of scary inspiration to be found in Westeros, from White Walkers to Joffrey to certain weddings... For a basic take on the theme, wear a sheet and dress as your favourite deceased character (there are quite a few...)

10. Beheaded
As students, you know the best way to succeed is to stay a-head of schedule... Should you end up with your head in your hands, at least it'll make a good Halloween look.
Whether you take inspiration from our top ten or conjure up an idea of your own, make sure you've got your outfit sorted before Thursday!
