Costumes based on popular puns and even your own unique jokes are perfect for a little extra laughter on a spooky night. You don’t have to become a seamstress to pull it off, though. Just get creative!

You already dance in real life, so why not include your greatest passion in your Halloween persona? Recycle some cardboard to make a key, put on your favorite tutu, and you’re ready to head out as a wind-up ballerina.
