15 Best family Halloween costumes and ideas for 2022
Some parents are just amazingly organised when it comes to Halloween - and the results are just too cute to handle.

Family Halloween costumes are a great way to get creative this autumn with so many fun ideas to choose from.
Sorting out kids' Halloween costumes is an autumn tradition but what happens when you've got a big Halloween party? Or you're all going out trick-or-treating or planning some Halloween games? Family Halloween costumes make the situation so much easier as you've only got to think of one set of characters and do one online shop for supplies. Plus, they're sure to be a winner on Instagram and make the family photo album.
Whether you're a fan of the Disney movies or prefer more of a classic spooky Halloween outfit from one of the famous Halloween movies for kids and adults, we've got you covered with our selection of the best family Halloween costumes. We’ve even got a guide to pregnant Halloween costumes too!

2. Monsters Inc.
All eyes are on Mike Wazowski in this adorable family Halloween costume idea. While Sulley and Boo are a perfect Halloween couples costume, this extra addition of Mike is perfect if there's three of you in the family, as you can complete the trio from the films. While you'll probably need to buy the Sulley onesie, and baby Mike too, Boo's costume you can probably make from home with an oversized purple t-shirt, leggings and plimsoles.

This is a real family Halloween costume staple! If your family is kooky like this one, there's surely not a better outfit to get for Halloween. It's an easy one to do no matter how many there are of you in the family as well, as long as Mum and Dad can get the garb for Morticia and Gomez Addams, you'll be instantly recognisable. Kids can dress up as Wednesday and Pugsley, while babies can fit into the mix with a baby grow tux.

It's especially a great one if you’ve got a dino-loving kid in tow who can dress up as one of the formidable creatures with this costume from Amazon. For the adults, all you'll need is a Jurassic Park t-shirt, a cap and some classic ranger gear to pull off this memorable look.

10. Thing 1 and Thing 2
If there are baby twins in your family or you have two children of a similar age, a Cat in The Hat family costume is a great option.

11. Vampires
If you want to stick to something a little more traditional this month, a coven of vampires is a ready-made family costume. Each member of the family can make their costume their own with the classic trickles of fake blood, hair styles and dark costumes and, of course, those pointy teeth. If you have a baby and they're a little too young for a vampy makeover, try this super cute bat costume.

12. Tiger King
If it’s good enough for Kim Kardashian, it’s good enough for us, as the reality star dressed her family in a hilarious Tiger King ensemble for Halloween 2020, as seen on her Instagram. Along with the tiger onesies for the kids, adults will need a vibrant shirt and a mullet wig for Joe Exotic, a flower crown and bright shawl for Carole Baskin.

- View Childrens Animal Print Onesie | £23.99 - Amazon

13. Ghost
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most effective! That's undoubtedly why the classic white-sheet-black-eye-holes Halloween costume has been such a winner for so many years. But why not save yourself some time with this ready-made version for the kids from Amazon, and get a hold of some face paint for yourself. Go haunting on Halloween as a family with this classic costume and you'll no doubt turn a few heads.
Get the look:
- View Kids Halloween Ghost Cape Fancy Dress Costume | £16.57 - Amazon
- View Snazaroo Face & Body Paint Set | £10.98 - Amazon
14. Toy Story
It's certainly not the scariest family Halloween costume on the street but everyone will certainly recognise who you are. There’s plenty of characters to choose from too and all the outfits can be picked up from Amazon, but our favourites are these Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear costumes, and we think the alien costumes will make a great look for the kids.
Get the look:
- View Woody Costume Adult Kit | £49.99 - Amazon
