This couples’ costume has been a timeless hit since The Nightmare Before Christmas premiered in 1993. If you and your S/O are in love with Tim Burton’s whimsical gothic aesthetic, dress up as Jack and Sally to embody that look. Use face masks to bring their ghoulish smiles to life!
Solar Opposites’ Terry and Korvo

One of the few gems to come out of 2020 is Justin Roiland and Mike McMahon’s Solar Opposites. This refreshing adult comedy features a family of aliens attempting to assimilate into human society. If you and your partner are fans of the new show, dress up together with Terry and Korvo face masks! If you have a dog or a cat, you’ll even have a Pupa!
Thing 1 and Thing 2

Dressing up as this chaotic pair for Halloween is a great option for a couple's costume. Who doesn't want to rock a blue wig and a bright red onesie? You could try these Dr. Seuss face masks for a creative way to display who is Thing 1 and who is Thing 2!
Minions

The popular Minion movies seem to be adored by just about everyone. If you and your partner enjoy the franchise, why not use them as inspiration for your Halloween costume this year?
