Are you having a hard time coming up with a costume idea for Halloween? Are you torn between a costume that’s funny, scary, or based on a specific character? Rather than coming up with all the details on your own, think about planning a duo costume with someone else. Duo and group costumes can be incredible party hits, and they’re fun to do! Whether you’re with a date or just friends and family, here are some of our favorite duo costume ideas to get you started.

Stranger Things
One of the most popular shows on television has given us a lot of likable character duos, which means Stranger Things fans have a ton of great duo costume options!
