If your only two options for Halloween this year are either a sexy mouse or a chic witch, why not look into some pop culture costumes to keep things fresh? Referencing a celebrity or TV show on Halloween guarantees your costume stands out in the crowd. Plus, it makes for a great conversation piece, allowing you to wear your fandom and culture-savvy (literally) on your sleeve.
Some of the best examples of pop culture costumes we've seen so far include the Disney Princess makeovers, complete with in-depth tutorials on how best to apply makeup to achieve each princess's look, meme costumes that teach you how to look like Grumpy Cat, and of course, the numerous Breaking Bad costumes -- meth not included.
