3. The Inside Out characters
For groups of five kids going trick or treating, paint 'em up as the colour-coded characters representing the emotions in the Pixar hit. See if lollies actually help Sadness. Watch the sugar rush kick in on Anger.
4. The new Darth Whatshisname
Surely there's enough in those Star Wars trailers to work out your helmet mask and cape and lightsaber arrangement? Oh and this year you can dress grandad up like Han Solo too.
5. The late Paul Walker from Fast and the Furious 7
Too soon?
6. One of the main characters from True Detective season 2
Not a lot of costuming requiring. Just look like a dishevelled LA cop. Knock on random doors. Ask those inside if they know what the hell is going on?
7. The Night's King from Game of Thrones
Yes the king of the ice zombies himself. It's quite a look to pull off but we suggest getting that old Darth Maul mask out and painting it blue as a start. Careful putting those contacts in.
8. The Fantastic Four
Matching dark blue jumpsuits except for the guy who has superglued all those rocks to himself. Don't be surprised if no one recognises you.
9. The What We Do in the Shadows gang
Take your pick of Viago, Vladislav, Petyr, Deacon ... or if you can't be bothered dressing up, Nick or Stu. If you run into Anton and his werewolf mates out there, play nice.
10. If all else fails ...
Kids! Get out the yellow highlighter pens! You're all going dressed as Minions! Again!
