3. John and Yoko
These Halloween costumes will have you singing your heart out all night, and it’s easy to put together. For John, the most important part is the round shaped glasses, the hairdo, jacket and jeans. You could also go with the all-white John Lennon style. The Yoko costume is even easier; sunglasses, a floppy hat, white dress and boots.

You make this cute couple costume yourself. Buy huge pieces of yellow foam and smaller black and red pieces for details. Trace two circles and cut them, depends on how big you want your Pacman faces. Then cut the shape of a triangle for the mouth. Separately cut the eyes, tongue and lips. The hardest part might be putting everything together, stitching the mouth with both circles and making sure you fit between. Glue the eyes and lips as a final step.
