Disney movies are another excellent source of adversarial costume inspiration! Ursula the Sea Witch and Ariel from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” make a fun couples costume concept that’s a bit more unexpected than an Ariel and Prince Eric costume.

Movie pairings are always a great source of Halloween inspiration, especially if the movie is one like “Beetlejuice” that has more than a bit of spookiness built into the plot.
