But whatever will you do on the biggest night of the year, All Hallows’ Eve? If you’d like to dip your toe into the bloody pool of horror, there are so many iconic characters to choose from to inspire a fun costume.

You can honor some of the most iconic villains of all time like Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger.
