Halloween is right around the corner and no matter how you’ll be celebrating, you may as well get dressed up for the gram. And what better way to celebrate the spookiest day of the year than with costumes inspired by some of the baddest alt babes in popular culture? These costumes are inspired by characters from movies, television and video games, from legendary witches to hardcore hackers to the Mistress of the Dark. Take a look at some of our favorite costumes for Halloween in the gallery below and let us know who you’ll be dressing up as in the comments section on social media.
Wednesday Addams
Every girl has probably considered going as Wednesday Addams for Halloween, as it’s an easy and recognizable look you can throw together with items in your closet.
Morticia Addams
The Matriarch of the Addams family oozes sex appeal, glamour and poise. And if you’re cool with a somewhat limited mobility in a tight dress, why not feel this fantasy?
Lydia Deetz
Lydia Deetz has several signature looks but the red wedding dress has always been my favorite.
Elvira
If you want to show off your girls and wear some big hair, then the Mistress of the Dark is perfect for you.
Sam Mason
Calling all “Danny Phantom” fans: Sam Mason was such a babe and this costume is a totally original pick.
The Sanderson Sisters
Get your girls together to form the iconic “Hocus Pocus” trio.
Nancy Downs
Nancy Downs sure was a terror but also a total fashion icon. Layer up those crucifixes, find a plaid mini skirt and go crazy with the red lipstick.
Sabrina Spellman
A current spooky fave, this witch is truly one of a kind.
Sally
Another timeless babe, Sally of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” made every girl yearn to find their own Pumpkin King.
Emily the Corpse Bride
If you’re up for going all out with the body paint, Emily the Corpse Bride could be your something blue this Halloween.
Ursula
Let’s face it, Ursula was pretty freaking awesome. After all, in a world full of mermaids, be a sea witch.
Maleficent
Another Disney villain who stole our hearts, Maleficent is one part dark and two parts glamour.
“Silent Hill” Nurse
The nurses of the “Silent Hill” video games are totally iconic and a perfect way to be both sexy and scary.
Lisbeth Salander
Lisbeth Salander is the ultimate androgynous badass and if you’ve got plenty of tattoos, you might as well put them to good use.
Misty Day
Misty Day stole our hearts in “American Horror Story: Coven” and reminded us that there are plenty of ways to be witchy.
