Halloween Couples Costumes from Sci-Fi & Fantasy Movies

Halloween is the perfect time to let loose and celebrate your love of science fiction and fantasy. Wearing matching costumes can be great fun. Halloween character costumes from a favorite movie are a great option for people who enjoy watching science fiction and fantasy. Unleash your inner movie geek along with your partner.

Arrive at the party as an easily recognizable pair, since the mythology and characters are widely known. Everyone at the Halloween party will know who you are supposed to be. By choosing well-known movie personae, you will avoid the long, awkward explanation of your costumes. Have you seen Sheldon's Doppler Effect costume on The Big Bang Theory? Avoid similar confusion by wearing certain movie character costumes.

Unlike other movies in which the characters' dress is typical of average people, these movies feature people with unique, easily distinguished outfits and gear. Therefore, science fiction and fantasy movie costumes are usually available for purchase and easy to find.

Sometimes, the standard costumes need an additional accessory or two to complete the look. Search out an appropriate wig if your own hair cannot be done to match. Add costume jewelry, costume weapons or other tokens and accessories such as Vulcan ears and Avatar tails. Don't forget the makeup, either your own or special kits.

My favorite costume pairs which are easy to acquire are listed below. Some are not the actual romantic couples in the movie. Of course, you can easily switch my choice for the love interest. As long as at least one costume is iconic, the couple should be easily recognizable.

Iron Man 2 (2010) In my opinion, the best pairing is billionaire Tony Stark in his Iron Man suit and the sexy Natasha Romanov as Black Widow. However, the lady could easily go as Pepper Potts without buying a special costume. All she would need is long blond hair or a wig, a sexy business dress and heels. Arriving with Iron Man, there should be no doubt she is dressed as Ms. Potts.

√ Helmet, jumpsuit, and red gloves.

Black Widow

√ Women's sexy jumpsuit that includes the cuffs, calf-high black boots, and a long red wig.

Avatar (2009)

A romantic pairing from the widely popular movie Avatar, would be Jake Sully and Neytiri. Makeup kits and accessories to complete the look abound.

√ Men's Jake Sully costume and Avatar spear. Jake Sully wig and ears, possibly a Na'vi Avatar makeup kit.

Neytiri

√ Women's Neytiri costume that includes pants and top. A Neytiri ears and wig, bow and arrow and Na'vi Avatar makeup kit.
