I love Halloween. You get to dress up in your favorite slutty costume and beg for candy. As an adult, you don't really get to go door to door anymore without seeming kind of creepy in an un-Halloweeny sort of way, but if you have kids that are young enough you can get back in the game and walk around with them or you can party in costume at home or at someone else's shinding.

Day of the Dead
I love this costume idea because it is perfect for the bicultural family that celebrates both Halloween and Día de los Muertos.
Batman
Oh sure, Batman seems like a loner, but he's got a whole posse of characters he can hang with and I'm not joking, but The Joker is!
Mario Brothers
Well obviously Mario Brothers are a perfect fit for a family costume idea.
Flintstones
As a reddit user brought to my attention, I'm pretty sure Fred didn't wear shorts under his loin-dress, but this is still a great idea.
Captain Hook and...
Look at the muscles on … wait! Is Captain Hook dressed up as Neil Patrick Harris?!
Star Wars
Star Wars will always be an intergenerational classic.
Concessions
This adorable family should get to go to the movies for free if they show up in these cute costumes. Although most theaters won't let you bring in outside food or drinks.
