Mashup costumes are a fusion of different elements derived from different characters. For example, Deadpool in a Sailor Moon getup. You can dress up as ‘Iron Wolverine’ donning the typical Iron Man suit with long nails. There can be a long list of mashup costume ideas like Captain America/Spiderman, Jedi Wolverine and Harley Quinn as Pirate. Mashup costumes can be very seamless as well. Mashup costumes can leave your guests to marvel at your genius.

2. Dead Versions of Celebs and Characters

Zombie costumes are too mainstream. However, zombie versions of your popular celebrity are certainly creative. Imagine the legendary Michael Jackson with a wrinkled face and dusty white coat doing Moonwalk on the streets. It can be scary and amusing at the same time. There is another perspective to dressing up as a celebrity. You can think of it as paying a tribute to his achievements. However, you should be chary while going for this idea as it can be outrageous at times.
