Netflix’s Wednesday had us falling back in love with the ghoulish Addams family. Dressing up like the Addams for Halloween will definitely be a hit, so here’s how you can execute each character to a tee:

Morticia’s costume comes with her signature maxi black dress and long-haired wig, while Gomez’s costume includes his black and white striped suit, along with a slicked back wig and suave moustache — essentials of Gomez’s dapper yet mysterious look.
Achieving Wednesday Addams’ look goes beyond putting together a little black dress and pigtails.

Simply put on a bald cap and a fake moustache to convert your parent into America’s revered comedian and TV personality. Unlike other family Halloween costumes, this easy yet hilarious costume idea is great for bonding over interactive games whilst in amusing fits.
10. Dune
Dune, a science-fiction novel turned Oscar-winning film, brought to life a new galaxy and kingdom that introduced revolutionary cinematic costumes never seen before. As one of 2024’s biggest cinematic hits, of course, we had to include Dune into our list of family Halloween costumes — so that the spice flows.
Parents, channel your inner Fremen with the Paul Atreides Costume and the Chani Costume. Options for younger ones include the Dune Wasteland Style Dress, to go along with the dystopian-desert theme.
