Is there anything more classic than Birds? It's surprisingly easy to accomplish this costume, and it's oh-so-creepy.

“We’re creepy and we’re kooky, mysterious and spooky.” Now that song is permanently stuck in your head because of this couple’s awesome costumes. You’re welcome!

Even with the cutesy Hotel Transylvania movies coming out, the original Dracula is still a pretty formidable character, particularly with his vampire sidekick.

This awkward musical has always held a special place in my heart, so I love this simple rendition of Seymour and the adorable mini Audrey II.
