Halloween Costumes From the Eighties

The 80s can serve as an excellent source for costumes. These are a few of the ideas I had, I welcome additions. I tried to stick with things that were basically born in the 80s and died there too. You might need to visit thrift stores instead of costume stores for some items like skinny ties. If you dress up this year, take a picture and email it to me, I'd love to see what people come up with.

80's chick/punk
Does anyone remember the great mesh of the late 80's??? Girls - Gotta wear a mesh shirt (off the shoulder please) with a contrasting swimsuit top underneath. Wear a nice tight micromini - you know, the one that covers from your bellybutton to just over your butt?? And don't forget the tight leggings that go just past your knees with the pumps. It's all about the pumps. Finish the look with a low-slung wide belt, some big hoop earrings, and BIG hair!!
80's Chick
Blue eyeshadow and bright pink lipstick. Big off-the-shoulder sweater. Black or a bright color of leggings or tight jeans. Sneakers, or if you're opting to wear the jeans, wear 2 pairs of bright slouch socks or white frilly socks. Hairspray will come in handy for your hair. Either tie it high up at the side or tease your bangs and pouf the rest of it (think 11 yr old D.J from Full House). Can't forget huge hoop earings or dangling ones...and tons of bracelets. So wear that and you'll have a happy Halloween "fer sher"!
80's Chick
We had 80's day at my high school and this is what I wore: I had a huge red sweater that came to about my knees, cut the top part so it'd hang off one shoulder, had a blue tank top underneath showing. Had some colorful flowery type pants with two pairs of socks:one hot pink, the other hot yellow-green (think tennis ball color) then I crimped my hair and put it in a high side pony tail with a bright colorful hair scrunchie. I wore blue eyeshadow, and hot hot pink lipstick (brand: wet n' wild) wore lots of bangles on both arms. Wore black and white converse shoes. It was a big hit!!!
80's Chick
Wear a tight black mini skirt, white satin lace tank top, red leather jacket with huge shoulder pads, with red pumps for accessories were lots of white, red, and silver bangles with big doit earrings and lots of beaded necklaces. Do hair big and crimp it! Good will is a great place to find some of these items
80's Chic
first from top to bottom, poofy poofy hair, use hot rollers or even a crimper to help out that funky style. Use lots and lots of hairspray to make it stay. On your makeup, bright blue eyeshadow and very pink lipstick. Wear some big hoop earrings. Wear lots and lots of necklaces. On the wardrobe, buy a very oversize sweatshirt. Cut it at the top, so it falls off your shoulder. If you can, wrap a concho belt around the outer layer of sweatshirt. Don't forget to wear a bright tanktop under the sweatshirt. Wear some tight jeans and put a couple pair of bright socks over your jeans. Or if you wanna wear leg warmers and don't have any cut the bottoms out of a couple pair of bright socks and do it that way. I just wore my regular tennis shoes, I figured I had enough eighties on that the shoes wouldnt matter.

80's line dancer
My best friends' costume is so great - she found a black sweatshirt that's too short on the sleeves, has red fringe in a v-shape in the front, and under her neck a silhouette of a "country couple", dancing. She's pairing it with an acid wash jean skirt, a mullet cut wig and a big bead gawdy necklace (that matches, of course!) - she's still keeping an eye out for the fringe boots.

80s Summer Camp Counselor
This outfit is PRICELESS! and simple... most importantly, you need a pair of itty bitty adidas running shorts with the strips down the side (for some reason this style of shorts became popular again in stores *shrug*) knee-high white athletic socks with stripes at the top.. converse high tops, the t-shirt could really be anything (must be tight) with any logo or icon from the 80s.. the one i choose was a tshirt with Mr.T on it i found a thrift store.

80's valley girl

First,you wear some tights with alot of holes in them.Second,over the tights wear a ruffled skirt as for on the top, for a shirt wear a " too big " over shoulder top.Wear alot of jewelry earrings,bracelets neclaces,and rings.For the face put light blue eyeshadow on your eyes (thickly) bright pink lipstick (thickly) and alot of blush whatever color. also,do't forget mascara, leg warmers,and high heels.
A. C. Slater
First you need a wig. I used a curly, wet looking wig that I cut into a mullet. The shirt has to be a maroon, fishnet jerzee. I ironed the letters SLATER on the back. For pants I found some old 80s style baggy pants (preferably Z Cavarichi). The shoes can be anything white and hightop. Just make sure you pull the tongues out.
Al Bundy
brown polyester pants with a belt, white short sleeve work shirt with a front pocket and an AL patch on the front. A playboy magazine folded up and tucked in back pocket and a remote control tucked in front pocket.
Al Calavicci or Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap
Although from 1989, this isn't so bad, and it's rather easy!! To be Al, just wear anything tacky, such as a zoot suit, fire engine red sports jacket with matching pants and bright shirt, Hawaiian shirt with bright pants. You know, anything tacky. Add a handlink (calculator will do) and part the hair. Especially creative--girls attaining the look of Al should just part the hair and put it in a low ponytail. Just make sure you have someone to play Sam, or else people will talk. For Sam, dress as any character from any leap. Recommended highly--guys as Sam could wear dress and say they're Samantha Stormer, or any one of the females Sam leaped into. *BONUS*--guys with the diaper and ID tag, as Bobo the chimp from "The Wrong Stuff," or that cool "Carmen Miranda" dress singing "Cuando La Gusta" from "Miss Deep South"--Classic!!!!!

Short hair a far right part so it looks flippedsome hair my need to be let down in the back, and a little hair spray or moose to keep it there. then tease your hair or huge curls (you can do this with long/medium hair too.)
Axl Rose
I am a 16 yr old female and Halloween of '01 I went as Axl Rose because I've gotten so into GnR. I consulted web sites and found numerous photos of him in the early days of GnR. I also relied on televised concert clips on VH1 and eventually put together a costume. I have long blond hair but I couldn't dye it light brown. However, I wrapped a red bandana around my head, wore a black long sleeve shirt onto which I pasted an Axl photo (just so that uninformed students would know who I was), wore an unbuttoned flannel shirt over that, and wore a black leather jacket over that. I also wore a kilt with bike shorts underneath. I didn't want to look terribly masculine so I put on some 80s makeup which consisted of a lot of blush, blue eyeshadow, blue eyeliner and navy blue mascara and dark pink lipstick. I had soooo much fun with this costume and my teachers loved it. Many people came up to me and said it was the most original costume they'd ever encountered. And as big a fashion faux-pas as it sounds, I grew to love the blue eye make-up and I still wear on Saturday nights and surprisingly a lot of girls came up and asked me to show them what I used.
Barbie and the Rockers
I did this in high school! Can you imagine! A sweatshirt with puffy paint, hair crimped in a 1/2 ponytail with silver scrunchi and black leggings and pumps -
Big hair band/Glam Rocker
Big teased hair held up with Aqua Net (in the white can), eyeliner, satin blazer over tank top (or other layered shirts), torn, of course, fishnets wrapped on arm or around torso, spandex pants and some type of bitchin boots.
The Blind Leading the Blind
This is a perfect costume for a fun couple. Dress up however you like (we wore all black), and wear sunglasses. Get two canes and paint red tips on the ends. They can just be long sticks. If you want, you can put "cuts and bruises" on you both. The important thing is to walk around holding on to each other all night and you are now....the blind leading the blind. Watch out though! Some people are over sensitive these days...we had ONE person say we were insensitive, but it's Halloween!!!
Blues Brothers
Black Suits, white button down shirts, black ties, Black hats, black dress shoes and lets not forget the black wayfers. My husband and I went as them in 2000 for Halloween it was a hit!
Blues Brothers
Black suit, white button down shirt, black tie, black dress shoes, and black sun glasses.
Boof
The TeenWolf girl-next-door....a short, brown bob-do with "claw-rips" on the back of your turquoise, off-the-shoulder cableknit sweater. White keds, black stirrup pants, or black spandex pants tucked into 2 pairs of colorful socks (flourescent pink is nice), and your white scrunch-down boots.
Break Dancers
Bandanna, leather belts and wrist bands with spikes, head bands, leather pants.
Breakdancer
Zipper pants, thick gold chains with large symbols, and a giant piece of lineoleum attached by ropes so that you would be able to bust-a-move at any given moment.
The breakfast club
A great costume for 5 friends. I can't describe them all, but go to Blockbuster and ask for the movie, THE BREAKFAST CLUB. Watch it and put your outfits together. It's a fun hallloween costume.
Brian Johnson
Black beret type hat (not exactly a beret but has the same style with a visor on the front), tight black tank top (preferably if you have a beer belly), tight black jeans, any variation of black boot/shoes, talk really loud with a scream.
Bruce Springsteen
The Boss from the 80's! blue jeans you would work in, white t-shirt, black boots, red baseball cap in your back pocket, bandana around your head and you're set to go! you can even wear a collared shirt with the sleeves cut off instead of a white t-shirt, and you can add a jean jacket. its all still the boss!
California Raisin
The purple Raisin's who danced to the tune "Heard it Through The Grapevine." Wore White Sunglasses, Yellow ties and some had skateboards. Also had other props like radio's (the old portable ones) and microphones.
Care Bear
A big furry bear suit with a circle on the tummy encasing a carebear symbol such as a raincloud for grumpy or a crescent moon for sleepy bear.
Care Bear
Get a white sweat suit ( pants and a hooded sweatshirt ) dye them the correct color. Get white felt and cut out a big circle and attach for the tummy. Cut out of more felt the symbol that corresponds with the bear body color you chose and attach to middle of felt tummy. Cut out felt ears to match body color and attached to hood. Find red heart shaped patch or cut red heart from felt and attach to the side of one butt cheek. Paint tip of nose with paint to match body color in the shape of a heart. Funshine Bear and Lucky Bear are the easiest dyes to match colors for. We did these two in Chico for Halloween 2001, they were warm and better than rented ones cause they were in our sizes. Bonus!! remove felt, ears, and heart and you have a new set of custom colored sweats
Care Bear
Wear a shirt with a heart or a sun, a cloud....etc., anything that you have seen on a care bear's tummy. Wear ears, a tail, and maybe some paws. Very cute for little kids.
Carebear
A colored bear suit with one of the care bear picture on the stomach.
Carebear
Am I the only one who remembers the Care Bears and their "Care Stare" attack for defeating villains? This costume wouldn't be so hard. A simple place to start would be to rent a bear suit of sorts (hopefully a cartoon one where the bear is a pastel color) then create a paper circle (even a paper plate would do, attach it to the stomach and draw something like a sun or a heart on it. And voila! Care Bear!
Carebear
Put on a pastel color (light blue, light pink, yellow) pants, and sweatshirt (try for same shade) and if you can, socks. Out of white felt, cut out a circle to sew onto the stomach of the shirt. Then draw with felt markers a carebear design, depending on which one you are.
Carla from Cheers
Small afro, paper clip earrings, acid washed jeans, obnoxious patterned sweater or patterned cotton shirt with collar, and a small waitress apron. Maybe bring along some pens and a bad attitude!
Carmen Sandiego
Wear a long red trench coat, yellow turtle neck and skirt, red shoes, and top it all off with a red hat.
Child of the 80's
Black leggings with gold rhinestones lineing the sides, a high side pony tail with feathered bangs, black reeboks and white and black socks rolled down over eachother, a black tank top with a UK Flag tied into a knot in the front under a black leather jacket. Hot pink lip stick and blue eyeshadow with a beauty mole.
Cobra Kai (bad guy from The Karate Kid)
The Cobra Kai costume from the Karate Kid is just a black robe with the Cobra Kai logo on the back and 3-4 square patches on the side of the legs from the knees down.
Cookey Spooks
It was a costume I wore many times. Has a hat that resembles Madusa's hair and a cheap plastic costume. I was born in 1975 and remember the 80's well.My grandmother dressed me like a Cookey Spook for 4 years in a row!!
Cruel Summer
Light stone washed overalls (maybe a black belt) with a tiny sleeveless white shirt inside. The bottom of the pantlegs rolled up to above ankle and white high top keds shoes. A blue bandana wrapped under hair and tied at top of head, the ends of teased hair falling out over eyes. Black sunglasses and red lipstick (big hoop earrings?) like in the video "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama
Cyndi Lauper
This is a fun one, I helped my friend on this one last halloween. Cyndi often wore a strapless top and a poofy, vintage skirt (with a petticoat if you can get one). Lots of bracelets. Lots of bright colored make-up. The hair is very important, bright orange or red (you can buy spray on hair color at any beauty store) tease it up and let it fall over to one side (spike up your bangs if you have'em). Check out her website for pics.
Cyndi Lauper
This one's pretty easy- Cyn had a mismatched style during the 80s, so you basically just throw together anything and it'll look great! Big, long, vintage skirts with crinolines, strapless dresses, high heels or two different high top shoes, and a bustier, or patterned top. She pretty much wore everything at once, so do layers if you have to. BIG, teased, crazy, tricoloured hair. You can pretty much do anything when it comes down to this; she's had it every colour of the rainbow. Red and yellow's a good combo to try (red hair, yellow bangs and a few streaks here and there). Big earrings, cheesy bangle bracelets. Eye makeup... like the hair, pretty much everything goes. A couple of vibrant colours, up to and even past the eyebrows... Brush it out towards the temple. Red or pink lipstick, or even gloss is a good thing to pair it with. Happy Halloween, and don't forget to "tawk" with a "Noo Yawk aksent"! ;)
The Dale Bozzio!
Allrighty - start out with a black mini skirt, add a silvery tube top (or try to make one of her 'plastic bras', if you're really daring), some nice knee-high black boots. Then, get out that pink and blue hairspray and streak your hair with it. Don't forget the bright eye makeup and mole :)
The Debbie "Bowler Hat" Gibson
For more of a Electric Youth era look, go with the "essential" black bowler hat, with blonde hair. Wear an oversized sports jacket with big shoulder pads, paired with either a skirt/or a pair of jeans, with holes in the knees and the bottoms rolled. Put with some socks, which come to the bottom of the jeans and some tennis shoes. YOU MUST HAVE THE BLACK BOWLER HAT TO MAKE THIS WORK!!!!
Doc Brown
White Einstein wig, white radiation suit, briefcase with radiation sticker to keep Plutonium in. Works best with the Marty McFly costume.
Dolly Parton
Great for a guy, shiny dress with stuffed bra for those HUGE Boobs. How Fun!
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Well just get a lab coat and a wig (also get a friend). One of you wear all of the face paint, and the other one act like a doctor.
Dynasty
Sammy Jo or Alexis from Dynasty. Wear poufy hair, tons of makeup, carry a big handbag, tons of jewerly and a low-cut polyester dress. AWESOME!
E.T.
Cut a large hole in a shoebox or other rectangular box (or even an old football), and cover trick-ortreater with a sheet. For heart light, use a small flashlight or a bike reflector.
Eddie
Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie! Who DIDN'T have a friend who was a Maiden freak in the 80's? Zombie mask (good luck finding the right one) and any of a number of different costume pieces work. You could go with the straight jacket and chains and look like you're off of the Piece of Mind album.
Eighties Chick
BIG hair, wide (preferably colored) headband, hoop earrings, crazy eighties makeup, take an old sweatshirt and cut it into a boatneck, belt of sweathshirt, miniskirt, colored tights, leg warmers, pumps.
Eighties Dancer (Female)
Put on the tights (I mean white footless ones dyed in any color you could imagine) , a leotard (camisole, tank, short, whatever, but it's the same thing with the tights) , ankle or leg warmers (same as above), and any flexible shoe (ether any kind of flexible jazz shoe or white ballet slippers dyed in any color you desire) .
Eighties Dancer (Male)
All you need is a tank shirt, white tights (dyed in dark or rich colors) , lower body warmers of any color, size, and type (I prefer flashy legwarmers), jazz or canvas shoes, and a sweatband.
Eurythmics
Remembering Annie Lennox wearing a Men's Suit with a Orange Wig from the 1982 Sweet Dream's (Are Made Of This) video and also a black gown and a yellow wig or a Elvis Hair style with the black suit from the 1983 Who's That Girl Video and also a women's white dress with a white hat from the 1983 Right By Your Side video and much more and remembering Dave Stewart wearing a suit from the 1982 Sweet Dream's (Are Made Of This) video or also a white suit with messed up hair with Sunglasses from the 1983 Who That's Girl video. Also diferent costumes what they ware from the 1989 King & Queen Of America video.
Farmer Ted/The Geek from 16 Candles
Collared light pink shirt with rolled up sleeves, tight jeans, white sneakers, head gear, and carry around a pair of white underwear with red polka-dots!!!! Genius!
Flock of Seagulls
You'll need a red shirt, black pants, silver belt and a synthesizer (or mini piano to carry around for ease). And, of course, the outfit would not be complete without the swept up on the sides hair-do, culminating to a point in the front. Voila, instant Flock of Seagulls, and your friends will run so far away!
Fraggle
Guys ever see that show Fraggle Rock? (the puppets were better than the cartoon) Anyways, just get a frizzy red wig and a red shirt, for added effect you should use makeup for orange skin and carry a little green stuffed animal and call it a dozer.
Gangster and Flapper
Great for a couple. Gangster - black or brown suit, hat and "TOY" gun. Flapper - roaring 20's dress, costume jewelry, and bright makeup.

He-Man
Get some fur scraps and strap it around like a diaper. A sword strapped to your back. Go all out and paint your dog w/ tiger stripes and walk around w/ it all night.
Heathers
Kind of like 80's chick but with at least two friends. One wears red, one yellow, one blue, etc. The colored part of the outfit should all be the same, such as everyone wears black leggings and a sweatshirt, but their socks and hair scrunchie should be the assigned color. In other words the outfits are identical except for being different colors.

A tank top and sweatshirt shoulders off. Mini skirt with black fishnets, pumps,and leggings.And jean Jacket.

First, shave your head. Then buy a hockey mask like his. As for the costume; either wear an olive green coat with grey pants and black boots or wear a dark blue torn jump suit. Then carry a fake knife, machete, axe, or cleaver with fake blood on it. Then you'll look like the killer from Friday The 13th series.
Jeannie Bueller (from Ferris Buellers Day Off)
Peach or light yellow light-weight jacket, sleeves rolled up to mid-arm. Tight, plain black pants that stop at mid-shin. Big rolled white socks.

Lady Lovely Locks
Here's an idea. get a a pink dress that looks like a quilt if you know what i mean, and make sure the dress reaches your ankles. then, get a kind of gypsy looking shirt (like the kind that jennifer lopez wore in her video clip that's all latino and stuff) and make sure it's wide with nice designs! then get like a blue apron and cut it up to the waist and sew, if you can't so, then it's fine. now for the hair, if you already have long slitely curly hair than that's perfect. let your hair down and get different hairspray colours ( e.g. pink, purple, red, blue...) and take a like a hanful of hair from different areas and colour them, making your hair look kinda multicoloured, BUT NOT TOO MULTICOLOURED! lady lovely locks originally has blonde hair... then get some flat-ish pink shows and you're set! COME ON PIXIE TAILS!
Link, from The Legend of Zelda
Link's appearance has changed over the years, but I used to dress up as Link for Halloween back in the 80s. To get the classic Link look, I wore brown sweat pants and a brown sweatshirt, brown boots, a XXL green tank top (over the sweat shirt) a belt, and a green stocking cap. I also carried around a plastic shield and sword, and bow and arrows. You could even use a bottle of Code Red to simulate Link's ultra useful Red Potion, but be sure to take off the label. There's no Mountain Dew in Hyrule.
Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything)
The keys to this costume are the beige trench coat and boom box. Then, to be most accurate, you'll need a Clash T-shirt, black work-out pants, and high-tops. But any white T-shirt will do; and I suppose blue jeans could substitute for the work-out pants. An added touch would be to have in the boom box a tape copy of Peter Gabriel's "So" cued up to "In Your Eyes".

Add a lot of rouge to your cheeks to make them pink, and make sure your 'mane' has a 'forelock'. Paint the symbol in puff paint on the side of your body-suit.

Quantum Leap
Ok, so this was on during the 90s, but still, it started in 1989, so why not a costume? This would be great for two guys who plan on trick or treating together. For an added bonus, have a third person tag along to be the "mirror image" of Sam. Sam: Watch any episode and dress like Sam did in that episode. For example, "Play it again Seymour"--black suit, black dress shoes, red tie, white hankie in the breast pocket, hair slicked in typical Sam Beckett-style. For Al: Anything tacky would work, such as shiny shirts and weird-colored pants. Fedoras and flashy sports jackets with bad shoes would also work. Have someone tag along dressed like Sam to act as a mirror image. If Sam is dresed like a woman, a girl should accompany the others. Make sure that "AL" has a handlink. You could even have somebody in a white suit play Gooshie, if you please. Oh boy!
