57 Clever Pun Costumes to Show Off Your Funny Side This Halloween
They're easy as pumpkin "pi" to pull together.
Oh, my gourd—Halloween is almost here! And that means it’s time to seriously start thinking about your Halloween costume. For the most laughs and “ahh, I get its” this year, consider a Halloween pun costume. Whether you're searching for pun costumes for couples or best friend Halloween costumes, it’s not "witchful" thinking that there's at least one play on words on our list that'll have you and everyone else cackling out loud.
Here, we've rounded up costume ideas based on funny Halloween puns for all crafting skill levels, ranging from pumpkin pi to dad joke Halloween costumes like ceiling fan ("Go ceiling!") to a sure-to-wow-’em knight in The Shining armor (this one requires some advanced crafting skill and a hefty dose of patience). Clever food pun costumes like holy guacamole and French toast are a hoot. And the easiest of all punny Halloween costumes for adults and kids alike—a couple of clicks on Amazon for last minute funny Halloween costumes is as simple as it gets.
If dressing up in a full costume for Halloween isn’t your thing, order a pun costumes t-shirt on Amazon, where you'll find “a fork in the road” (literally an illustration of a fork on a highway!), “identity thief” (Hello I Am stickers with different names on each covering a shirt), or a shirt that reads “Wanna hear some skeleton jokes? They’re very humerus.” And we think that Halloween pun costumes are pretty humerus, too!
Taco Belle Punny Halloween Costume
A taco hat plus Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast equals one punny Halloween costume from Instagrammer Tania Lamb (@lolalambchops).
You can buy or DIY this funny ceiling fan costume idea. We love the megaphone detail on this sweatshirt!
Ring of Fire Punny Halloween Costume
We love this Johnny Cash-themed couples Halloween costume! Cut lots of strips of red, orange, and yellow tulle about 1 foot each, and tie around a hula hoop (we double-knotted). Alternate colors until the hoop is full. Trim longer pieces if necessary. Slip on over a red dress. For the Johnny Cash costume, simply wear a black suit, black shirt, black shoes, and add a guitar and sunglasses.
Not the fish and chips you dream about eating, right? But you can order up this costume in a flash on Amazon.

Chick Magnet Shirt Punny Halloween Costume
This shirt is plenty cute on its own, but we suggest adding some yellow feathers to elevate it.
Shooting Star & Red Whine Punny Halloween Costumes
Instead of a matching couple's Halloween costume, go as a pair of equally clever puns. Instagrammer Jenn Smith reports that her squirt gun was shooting tequila shots. Her boyfriend's head-to-toe burgundy outfit, with Bota Box wine labels tucked into the shirt pocket and hat, was a spot-on interpretation of a bottle of red. To turn wine into whine, partygoers wrote complaints on labels and stuck them to him throughout the night.
