Everyone is a little guilty of celebrating cancelled plans and spending some QT with your favorite fictional characters. But when Halloween rolls around, it’s time to get those creative juices flowing to make sure the costumes (and everything else) are ready for the party. It turns out that all of that time spent with fall's newest TV shows paid off — combining your love for your shows with the best holiday around can make for some seriously spot-on costumes.
Max Mayfield, Stranger Things
After her massive popularity on the latest season of Stranger Things, this easy outfit from episode four will make a great Halloween costume. Grab an official Max jacket or add some white ribbon to a blue jacket.
Kimmy Schmidt, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Take a break from your Netflix binge and get in touch with your Kimmy Schmidt side. Hashbrown no filter. (via Brit + Co)
Real Housewives
Put on your best dress, pop a bottle and sharpen your claws for this costume. (via Brit + Co)
Eliza Thornberry, The Wild Thornberrys
Eliza has a pretty sweet life — her family has a wildlife show and she can talk to animals. What more could you want, really? This costume is totally safe for the office, and bonus points for bringing your pup along!
The Golden Girls
You have to admit, those sequins are just too good to stay in the closet or thrift shop. The only problem is deciding which badass grandmother to emulate. (via A Beautiful Mess)

Elaine Benes, Seinfeld
All this costume requires is a loose floral dress, modest heels, a blazer with shoulder pads and the worst dance moves of all time. Totally doable, right? (via Theme Me)
Sheldon and Amy, The Big Bang Theory
Nerds unite! Grab your best graphic tee, colored tights and polish your eyeglasses. You’ve got people to correct and trivia night to conquer.
Fraggle Rock
Bring back the nostalgia (and keep it super comfy) with this classic ’80s throwback. (via Brit + Co)

Jessica Day, New Girl
All you need is a fit and flare dress, wavy hair and your best corny jokes. Who’s that girl? It’s Jess!
Bridgerton
The only thing you need for this costume is an empire waist dress, and the rest of the look will follow. Tiaras encouraged! (via Brit + Co)
Angela Chase, My So-Called Life
Between the latest Delia’s catalog and Claire Danes, every ’90s girl had some serious fashion envy going on. Get comfortable in pre-teen fashion with flannel, layered dresses and Doc Martens.
The Powerpuff Girls
Chances are, you probably had at least one Powerpuff Girls sticker on your trapper keeper. Why not take a trip down memory lane this Halloween with two of your best gal pals?
Star Trek
Star Trek costumes are kind of like the cat costumes of the sci-fi world — classic and always a good go-to.

Squid Game Contestant

That’s So Raven
Disney Channel sitcoms just ain’t what they used to be. This Raven costume is spot-on and hopefully free from futuristic shenanigans. Oh, snap!
Kelly Kapowski, Saved By The Bell
Everyone in the ’90s was in love with K. Kapow. Relive the girl crush with those iconic stonewash jeans and your finest crop top.
Cassie Howard, Euphoria
This two-piece is super cute, and can be worn after Halloween is over! Just pair with a glittery Euphoria makeup look and a high ponytail and you're golden. We've never been happier. (via Brit + Co)
The Walking Dead
Love The Walking Dead? You don’t need much for this costume — just go with some basics (bonus points if the clothing is torn), a little makeup and a gnarly fake weapon or two.
This show had every ’80s girl dreaming of starting a rock band. And any excuse to rock a pink wig makes for an A+ costume. (via Brit + Co)
Two Broke Girls
This BFF-worthy costume is perfect even if you don’t work in the service industry.
