Shrek is timeless. This group costume can never go wrong - you can always keep adding people.

Another group costume that can’t really go wrong. Easy, funny, and can add on lots of people as the animals.
For guys:
Carmy from The Bear

A simple costume idea that doesn’t require a lot of purchasing and also is culturally relevant!
Beetlejuice

The first costume on this list that’s “scary” and Halloween-based. It's very makeup-oriented but isn’t super hard to do. Can be a fun duo’s costume if someone goes as Lydia.

Just grab a couple of ratty suits and some hats and you’re good to go. Pretty funny and simple!

Another Will Ferrell movie but equally fun to do for Halloween. Does require some purchasing though.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

You can easily make this with used materials like yellow shirts, green pants, and so on.
Indiana Jones

Another costume that easily could be made with already owned clothing. Never gets old!

A classic and fits the Halloween theme. Make sure your business card has a watermark or people won’t take you seriously.

Easy to get together and always a hit.
For girls:
Chappell Roan

She’s got plenty of great looks but this is a favorite. If you’re looking to go all out in makeup, hair, and clothes then choose any Chappell Roan look.

Also another fun, dress-up theme. It’s easy in the sense that you don’t need to base your look on a specific character.

MaXXXine just came out so this is a cute, relevant look.
Kill Bill

Timeless look that can include lots of characters. The Bride, O-Ren, Elle Driver, Gogo, and more!
Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders

Another look that lots of people can participate in and is pretty easy to do.
Pixie Hollow Fairies

You can either go all out with hair and costumes or can stick to bright color schemes and just add wings!

Not only can you show up like this on Halloween but also to the AMP Pitch Perfect showing!

Like the pixie hollow fairies, this is easy to do without super serious costumes and can be made with used clothing and fun makeup.
