Tired of your Fred and Wilma costumes? Your Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow cosplays feeling too tired?

The perfect couples costumes — ones that are timely but not overused — can be hard to come by. But thankfully, the past year of shows and movies have gifted us all with more than enough iconic duos to pull inspiration from this Halloween. From Wanda and Vision’s Halloween looks in Disney Plus’s “WandaVision” to Natasha Romanoff and Taskmaster’s action-packed battle scene in “Black Widow,” you and your partner have plenty of costumes to choose from this year.

Here are the best Halloween couples costumes from your favorite T.V. shows and movies this year.

Wanda and Vision

“WandaVision” is absolutely loaded with costume ideas, go big and try and attempt to recreate the “Dick Van Dyke” and “Donna Reed” tribute, or opt for the easy option and buy the literal Halloween costumes from their 90s episode-spoof. Just make sure you call yourself a “sokovian fortune teller” and a “wrestler,” for accuracy sake.

It only makes sense to wear Wanda’s outfit from the “very special” Halloween episode of “WandaVision” the “All-New Halloween Spooktacular!” Pink tights, red boots and her classic headgear nod to her earlier comic book roots as the Scarlet Witch.
