Of course, you could just dress as a zombie version of your favorite singer—we took a liking to Jay Zombie—or go as Taylor Swift, since as she told Radio.com, it’s not really that hard to do. But, wouldn’t it be more fun to be Ariana Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte or Beyonsatan or even Wayne Bitcoyne?
We sure think so.

All you need is a Jafar costume from Disney’s Aladdin. Can’t find one? Buy a pair of black pants and an oversize black shirt. Now find a red scarf or sash to tie around your waist. Top it off with Pharrell’s crazy hat! You’re the happiest of all the Disney villains.

Fall 2014 was all about listening to Ariana Grande and drinking pumpkin-spice lattes, so it’s best to put the two together for the most basic Halloween costume ever. All you have to do is wear all orange and style your hair half up/half down. Make sure you’re holding a Starbucks coffee cup—grande sized, duh—at all times. Black cat ears are optional, but highly suggested.

Hold on, we’re going to Hogwarts. Take a page from Drake’s own Instagram and dress as the trillest member of the Slytherin crew. All you need is a Hogwarts uniform, green and silver scarf, wand, platinum blonde wig and every chain that you wear, even when you’re in your house.
