64 Funny Group Halloween Costumes

The true spirit of Halloween isn’t just carving jack-o’-lanterns or getting cavities (though both can be fun). It’s about gathering together, celebrating imagination, and sussing out who’s secretly the funniest person in the friend group. And while a well thought-out solo Halloween costume can be epic, there’s an underrated magic to conspiring with a whole crew to craft the funny group costumes of your dreams that get referenced in the group chat for years to come.
Whether you’re looking to win the office costume contest or you and a few besties want to cosplay as an iconic group of four, there’s no shortage of pop culture inspiration to get the giggles (and your creative juices) flowing.
To devise the perfect funny group Halloween costume, start with deciding on the size of your group. Trio Halloween costumes are easiest to wrangle, five-person Halloween costumes are a little tougher, and anything larger runs the risk of being a hassle if you don’t keep the assignment relatively simple. But lucky for you and your crew, we’ve rounded up loads of ideas inspired by movies and TV shows, pop culture events from the last year, sports, politics, and everything in between.
But let’s say you put in all the effort, and then suddenly your third pulls out last-minute. Check out these costumes that are suited for pairs, with ideas for best friends, couples, brothers, and sisters.
A memorable, funny group costume doesn’t necessarily require a lot of effort, just some creativity and coordination. Check out our list below for some devilishly good Halloween outfit inspiration.
