Not everyone is having a scary Halloween party and for those wanting to get away from the horror and spooky costume end of the market, but still keep within the spirit of it, listed below are 10 suggestions for general fancy dress parties.

As we are often asked for couples or groups of costumes, we have included our most popular theme sets.

10. Scooby Doo, Shaggy (and the Mystery Machine Gang). We stock the entire range of Scooby Doo costumes

9. Morticia, Gomez & the Addams Family.

8. Batman, Catwoman, The Joker, etc..

7. The Wizard of Oz – Dorothy, Lion, Tinman, Wicked Witch of the West, etc,

6. Peter Pan – Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, Pirates, Lost Boys and the Darling Family.

5. Merlin & Morgana – King Arthur, Guinevere & the Knights of the Round Table.

4. Rocky Horror Group – Although it has its roots in Horror and Sci-Fi B-movies of the 50s/60s, the Rocky Horror Show has so much more to offer

3. The Matrix – Okay, people rather lost interest after the innovative first episode, but this is your opportunity to explore some alternative realities.

2. Dressed To Kill – Wide range of possibilities here from The Bride of ‘Kill Bill’ to the Gladiator or Executioner. Hannibal Lector is technically excluded as, with the strait-jacket and mask, he’s dressed not to kill!

1. Fairy Tale Fiends – King Rat, Maleificent, Wicked Step-mothers etc.
