Celebrating Halloween is always better with friends. And figuring out those group costumes or even best friend costumes is fun in itself. Then, getting to show it all off at a Halloween party that you've been planning for months is one of the best feelings—your creativity has finally paid off! If you have a group of four people that all want to share in the fun, and you think that costume ideas for that number don't exist... think again. Below is a list of the best Halloween costumes designed specifically for groups of four.
Here, you’ll find pop culture costumes inspired by your favorite TV shows and films, like a Golden Girls costume featuring Blanche, Sophia, Rose, and Dorothy, or a Sandlot look starring a few of the boys from the team and resident heartthrob Wendy Peffercorn. Some costumes, like the Beatles, are intended for four people specifically (will you be able to sing like, John, Paul, Ringo, and George?), while others can easily include one less or one more person in case there are any changes in your party.
Choose from scary costumes or funny costumes—and if you have little ones, you can get them in on the fun too, because many of these would also make perfect family Halloween costumes. No matter which costume you choose this Halloween, you’ll surely prove that three’s a crowd, four’s a party!
