Classic & Trending Halloween Costume Themes
Halloween costumes come in every shape and style, so you can have fun even with picking the theme. Spooky classics like witches, vampires, ghosts and skeletons never go out of fashion, while horror villains bring a bit of drama to the party. On the lighter side, you'll find favourite movie, TV and pop culture characters too, perfect for anyone who'd rather be recognisable than scary. Coordinating a couple, group or family Halloween costume is an easy way to make an entrance together. Matching skeletons or a mismatched group of movie characters both work just as well, so everyone can have a costume they love for the night.

Whether you're shopping for kids or adults, there's a Halloween costume ready to go in our range. Our
kids' Halloween costumes cover mini monsters, princesses and everything in between, so your little one will be best-dressed at a school party or a night of trick-or-treating with family. While the

Halloween Costumes Ready Whenever You Need Them
Halloween costumes aren't just for the 31st of October. Plenty of shoppers pick up a costume for school Book Week, a birthday party, a work dress-up day or just because the mood strikes, so it's worth having a browse even if Halloween itself is still weeks away. And a costume doesn't have to be for one night either! Most get a second or third outing at another party, book week or dress-up day well after Halloween has come and gone.
Complete Your Halloween Look
A costume is only half the fun, complete the look with
Halloween makeup and face paint for that finishing touch whether you're looking for a subtle and spooky look or a full transformation, it's entirely up to you! Or grab a few
Halloween accessories like wigs, props and masks to bring your character to life. Small details like these are often what turn a simple costume properly fang-tastic without needing a full outfit change, and they're an easy way to refresh a costume you already own for another year. It's also worth checking our
Halloween decorations range while you're at it, so the rest of the party or the trick-or-treat setup matches the effort you've put into your Halloween costume. Got a specific character in mind or just after some Halloween costume inspiration? Target's Halloween costumes are designed to make dressing up easy, affordable and fun. Costumes for the whole family are here, ready to shop online or in-store. Browse the full range today and get sorted well before the 31st of October rolls around.
Halloween Costumes FAQs
What's the easiest way to choose a Halloween costume if you can't decide?
Start with what you already own. A few key pieces, like a plain black outfit for a witch or skeleton or an existing dress for a Disney princess, can turn an ordinary wardrobe into most of a Halloween costume, leaving just one or two extras to track down. It's a quicker way to land on an idea than scrolling endless lists of options.
Do you need a full costume, or can accessories alone do the job?
For a lot of people, a well-chosen accessory says just as much as a full outfit. A pair of ears, a mask or the right prop can carry a whole character on its own which makes Halloween accessories a good option for anyone who wants to join in without going all out on a complete costume.
How far in advance should you buy a Halloween costume?
Popular sizes and character costumes could sell out earliest, so shopping for your Halloween costume a couple of weeks before the 31st of October gives the best chance of finding exactly what you're after. Leaving it to the last few days might mean that the Halloween costume you had your sights set on has sold out.
What's the difference between a costume and fancy dress?
The terms are largely interchangeable in Australia, though "fancy dress" tends to get used for parties with a set theme like decades or colours, while "costume" is more closely tied to Halloween and specific characters. Either way, the goal is the same: dress as something or someone else for the evening.
