After 29 years the Halloween cult classic: Hocus Pocus, has finally made its return!

£2.65Was there ever a more busy year for iconic fantasy spin offs? With both House of Dragons and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premiering this year, it has not only meant new shows for us to binge watch and obsess over but also a great line up for Halloween dress up inspo. Our bets are the we'll see plenty of Daemons and Rhaenyras, but probably some Galadriels and Elronds. If you have a baby or a pet you have the perfect chance to dress them up as your very own little dragon.

You can't go wrong with a super hero and with so many MCU releases and spin offs, there is no lack of inspiration here.

£41.99Fright and gore in all its glory but can anything really compete with a really witty costume that takes a second to figure. Not only is it fun and clever it's also a great conversation starter! Try going as a party animal; just wear an animal mask and some fancy outfit or while you're at it, perhaps a pig in a blanket. Or if you're going with your friends why not each pick a spice and dress up as it and voila, together you are the Spice Girls. And our personal favourite get a name-tag that says "Life" then bring a basket of lemons, which you of course hand out at the party, you'll have the entire party talking about "when life gives you lemons..."

£12.64The 2000's are making a comeback so why not embrace it on Halloween and go dressed as one of the many early 2000's icons.

Don't forget to lines to lips, clips your hair with butterfly clips and put on the flat-forms and you're ready to go!
There is no other family more synonymous with Halloween than the Addams family.
