Don\u2019t let anyone ever tell you that picking the right Halloween costume isn\u2019t an art. A genuinely spooky costume, dripping with fake blood, is a white carpet disaster waiting to happen. Cats, angels and devils i.e., anything involving a corset and a decorated headband have had their day. <\/span><\/p>\n

A niche-ish pop culture reference, however, lets you prove you’re culturally informed while still looking good. Going as a duo is the surefire way to ensure you don\u2019t have to explain your costume, either.<\/span><\/p>\n

From fictional lovers to frenemies, these are the TV and film duos worth dressing up as this Halloween.<\/span><\/p>\n

Allie and Dean, Off Campus<\/i><\/h2>\n

TV truly peaked this year during episode two of <\/span>Off Campus<\/span><\/i>. Hockey player Dean dressed as Maverick from Top Gun gazes puppy-eyed at theatre-kid Allie, who looks truly divine in J.Lo\u2019s iconic, navel-grazing green Versace dress. It\u2019s a truly meta moment to dress as two characters who are themselves dressing as two other characters, but people <\/span>will<\/span><\/i> get it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Calypso and Odysseus, The Odyssey\u00a0<\/i><\/h2>\n

They might not be the first duo that comes to mind from Christopher Nolan\u2019s epic retelling of <\/span>The Odyssey<\/span><\/i>, but this is a minimal effort and pretty killer look to recreate. For Calypso, bronzer, sea-salt waves and a carefully draped piece of netting are all you need; for Odysseus, just find an old sheet and voil\u00e0: you\u2019re Matt Damon stranded shoreside with Charlize Theron.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nikki and Bear, Obsession<\/i><\/h2>\n

There is a strong chance that there will be multiple Nikki and Bears at any given Halloween gathering, but such is the risk you take for greatness. For the ultimate look, recreate the couple’s party scene, where things go from bad to worse. Inde Navarrette, the horror queen herself, revealed to <\/span>People<\/span><\/i> where to find Nikki’s outfit. For Bear, grab a pair of denim jeans, a gilet and the glazed-over stare of a guilty conscience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
