It's time to start brainstorming some ideas for the perfect Halloween costume, and we're here to make sure your costume is both scary and Instagram-worthy. For the past few years, Halloween-goers young and old have used The Purge franchise as inspiration for their costumes, and it's time to re-create some of The Purge looks, and make 'em better (and scarier) than ever.
The Purge films and television series revolve around one day a year where in a 12-hour period, all crime (including murder and wearing white after Labour Day) is legal in a dystopian America. The horror franchise is a huge success both critically and financially and is an easy, affordable, and creative subject for a Halloween costume. Get some creepy costume inspiration ahead!
