It's up to you: Fly solo, coordinate with a group, or couple up with your best friend or partner.

All of these costumes for guys, girls, couples and families are sure to impress — even though they're incredibly quick, easy and cheap to make. So, kick back, pour yourself a vampire cocktail and keep scrolling to find your 2022 Halloween look.
