Scanner Roundtable: The Best and Worst Couple Halloween Costumes

Posted by Emily Farris

 

Our friend and her very new boyfriend, who she's not ready to call her boyfriend, are dressing up as Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson for Halloween. While we tried to convince her that if she's dressing up with a guy, and especially as a couple, he's absolutely her boyfriend, we were also thinking about what fun Halloween costumes for couples can be. Dressing up alone is fine, but playing off of someone else makes it even better.

The most creative we ever got was dressing as a mouse while an ex-boyfriend dressed as a cat. It made for some fun later in the night, but it was pretty boring and overly cute as far as couple Halloween costumes are concerned.

So what do you think? Will the streets be filled with Brangelina wannabees this year or do any of you have amazing couple costumes in mind? 

A few ideas, both good and bad, after the jump.

My mom and stepdad dressed as Gomez and Morticia Adams one year, it was amazing.  Another year they were very highclass vampires.

My parents were Riff Raff and Magenta from The Rocky Horror Picture Show about 10 years ago and looked awesome!  This year they're being Sarah Palin and Joe Six Pack.
