Vintage prom queen meets mad scientist - Lisa Frankenstein is shaping up to be a major Halloween hit in 2024. The movie’s unique blend of horror, dark humour, and 80s nostalgia has captured the attention of audiences, with its fresh take on the classic Frankenstein story.

For those who love a mix of retro style with a modern twist, Lisa’s character offers the perfect inspiration. Her killer wardrobe and twisted storyline resonate with fans who appreciate a character that’s both spooky and stylish (and brings a guy back to life just to have a little 'fun').

And speaking of bringing guys to life, adding to the appeal is the option to turn this into a couples costume. It’s a match made in monster heaven—she’s got the brains, and he’s got… well, the bolts. Together, they'll be the most shockingly stylish duo at any Halloween do. 

This twist on the classic monster pairing taps into the current trend of reimagining old-school horror with a contemporary edge, making it a popular choice for anyone looking to make a statement this Halloween.

We can't talk about Halloween costumes without mentioning the ever-popular Barbie. In 2024, it's all about going beyond the basic pink princess look. 

Recreating one of Barbie's many personas, including Malibu Barbie, Fashion Barbie and Sunsational Malibu Christie is going to be big. Or for a more elevated take, our personal favourite is undoubtedly 'Weird Barbie'.

Ideal for a group costume and the sartorial possibilities are endless when it comes to this iconic doll.

With Bridgerton continuing to enthral the masses, Penelope Featherington has emerged as one of the shows most beloved characters—and that makes her a top choice for Halloween 2024.

Penelope’s journey from wallflower to society’s secret gossip queen and her impending love story has captivated fans. Ensuring plenty of Lady Whistledown costumes (holding all the secrets at the party.)

And if you’re attending Halloween as a duo, bringing along a Colin Bridgerton makes this costume idea even more irresistible. 

Their on-screen chemistry has sparked countless fan theories and swoon-worthy moments, making them a couple everyone loves to root for. Together, Penelope and Colin are the perfect pairing for anyone looking to add a bit of Regency-era drama and romance to their Halloween festivities.

In 2024, Killer Clowns From Outer Space are back in the spotlight, owing to the new game release—and they’re more stylish than ever.

This Halloween, it’s all about killer clowns with a modern, fashionable twist. These clowns have swapped out the baggy clothes for something that’s as chic as it is chilling, making them the perfect choice for anyone looking to mix horror with high fashion.

With Killer Clowns making a comeback in pop culture, and the chance to give these classic characters a sleek update, it’s unsurprising that people are jumping on the clown bandwagon.

There’s something wickedly fun about turning a creepy concept into something that’s runway-ready. Looking killer and killing it on the dance floor simultaneously is top of our Halloween wish list.

If you've been keeping up with the Dallas Cowboys this season, you'll know their cheerleaders are hotter than ever. With their high-energy routines and show-stopping looks, it's no wonder the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader costume is predicted to be one of the top Halloween picks twirling into 2024.

Perfect for duos, trios, or even an entire squad and with their recent viral fame, ladies are going to be lining up at Party City to snag those tiny shorts and pom-poms.

Whether you're a die-hard Cowboys fan or just love the va-va-voom factor, slipping into that iconic uniform is a surefire way to turn heads and celebrate spooky season in game day glam.

With the new Beetlejuice movie hitting the screens, it’s no surprise that this classic character is crashing into Halloween 2024. 

The iconic stripes, wild hair, and devil-may-care attitude make Beetlejuice a standout choice for anyone looking to channel some spooky charm. 

Whether you’re a long-time fan of the original or just excited about the new movie, Beetlejuice is a surefire way to grab attention—and a few laughs.

But it’s not just about Tim Burton's antihero himself; the whole world of Beetlejuice is crawling back into our Halloween plans. The characters are quirky, memorable, and just the right amount of creepy, which makes them perfect for anyone looking to have some fun while embracing their darker side. 

With the movie’s return, The Ghost With The Most and company will be haunting Halloween parties everywhere.

If you're a fan of Yellowstone, chances are you'll be spying a whole lot of Beth Duttons and Rip Wheelers roaming the streets this Halloween. 

The brooding rancher and his equally fierce better half have become pop culture icons, and their signature rugged Western style is primed for costume greatness. Western meets Mob Wife = 2024 fashion nailed.

Assume Beth's memorable wedding get-up, while the fellas can complete the Dutton ranch look with a Stetson hat, shirt, and worn denim. 

The scowl in non negotiable - these two aren't ones to be trifled with.

After the success of the Amazon series, another game-inspired costume that's sure to be a hit is Lucy Maclean from the Fallout franchise.

With her tough-as-nails demeanour and killer sense of style, this post-apocalyptic survivor is the perfect muse for anyone wanting to tap into their inner warrior princess. 

Outfit yourself in distressed denim, combat boots, and layers of protective gear, then finish the look with Lucy's signature dark locks and a handy Pip-Boy for good measure.

We predict Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter aesthetic from her recent Rodeo-themed visual album will be a huge draw, perfectly capturing the modern frontier vibe that's been captivating fashionistas all year.

The Western trend has held firm in 2024, with cowboy chic making its way from the runway to the real world. The superstar solidified the cowgirl look as the style du jour, so we'll be seeing plenty of Beyoncé-inspired costumes this Halloween.

Whether you're a diehard member of the Beyhive or simply can't resist the allure of Tex-Mex glamour, channelling Queen Bey's rodeo romance is a fail-safe way to make a stylish statement come spooky season.

And finally, continuing with (or starting) the western trend, we predict the enduring appeal of the one and only Dolly Parton will get a modern twist this Halloween. 

While the country icon's larger-than-life persona and bold, bedazzled style is always costume gold, this year we expect to see a more pared-down take on the Dolly look. 

Think high-waisted jeans, a cropped shirt, and Dolly's signature wig and acrylic nails - a stylish homage that captures the western flair that's dominated fashion in 2024. 

It's a costume that lets you channel Dolly's irresistible charm and infectious positivity, without going over-the-top. 

With the western trend showing no signs of slowing down, this updated Dolly ensemble is sure to be a Halloween hit.

The 2024 Halloween costume scene is shaping up to be a veritable pop culture extravaganza. From TV and film favourites to cutting-edge gaming icons and musical superstars, there's sure to be a look that captures your imagination (and looks fabulous in photos, too). So start planning your spooky ensemble now - the race to snag the hottest costumes is already heating up.
