Halloween costumes and party picks: what to order and what to check first
Halloween is Saturday, October 31. If you are ordering online, the costume matters less than whether it arrives on time and fits. Start with three checks, then browse by who it is for.

What is selling on Amazon right now
These are items from Amazon's own Best Sellers lists, which rank products by sales. Ranks were checked on October 27, 2026 and change often. A high rank shows what other shoppers are buying; it is not a review, and I have not tested these. Budget, mid-range and premium describe where each item sat among these picks on October 27. Amazon prices change often, so use the button to see today's price.

Paid links. Check the delivery date, size chart and return terms on each listing before you order.
Three checks before you order
- Delivery date. Look at the arrival date shown at checkout for your address, not the one on the search page. Leave a few days of margin.
- Size chart and what is included. Use the seller's chart, and read the "includes" line. Photos often show props that are sold separately.
- Returns. Check whether the item can be returned and by when, in case it does not fit.
Adult costumes you can still get in time
Full costumes in a bag are the fastest route: one order, nothing to assemble. Check the size chart on the listing, since costume sizing rarely matches clothing sizes.
Adult costumes →Couples costumes →Group costumes →
Kids' costumes
Look for what is included: many listings sell the outfit without the shoes, wig or props shown in the photo. If trick-or-treating after dark, add something reflective or a small light.

Low-effort costumes: one piece and you are done
Short on time? Ten last-minute costumes from clothes you already own, each with the one add-on worth buying.
A mask, a wig, a cape or a themed hoodie turns ordinary clothes into a costume. These also pack flat, which helps if you are travelling for Halloween.
Masks →Wigs →Capes →Makeup kits →
Pet costumes
Measure neck, chest and length before ordering, and skip anything that covers eyes or restricts movement.
Party and porch supplies
Lights and a few large pieces do more than a bag of small ones. For outdoor decorations, check the listing says outdoor-rated.
