Save on Halloween Costume Ideas for Couples, Families and More This October with Our Latest Argos Promo Code!
It’s a strange thing to think that we’re now in the final part of 2020. The C-word is looming, with many shops already starting to fill their shelves with gift sets, goodies and treats, but we can’t bear ourselves to say it just yet. A rule we have among the My Favourite Voucher Codes team is to at least get Halloween out of the way first! So, today we’re going to be looking at some of the latest spooktacular deals to be had with the help of an Argos promo code!
Halloween undoubtedly is going to be a different affair this year. Admittedly, the year 2020 as a whole has been somewhat of a horror movie! Of course the question that’s on everyone’s lips as we enter October is whether or not Halloween will actually go ahead this year. It’s certainly a tricky one, given that there’s quite a few local lockdowns in place across the UK, and of course the current rule of six immediately rules out any parties. At the time of writing, trick or treating hasn’t been officially cancelled in the UK, but many are questioning whether it should be. On the other hand, some are arguing that the concept of wearing costumes and masks fits right in with the rules, and that for some family members, doorstep visits from loved ones might be a nice surprise. With the rules constantly changing, no one can say what’s going to happen over the next couple of weeks. With that in mind, we’re thinking that the best way to celebrate Halloween this year is by doing so at home. We can still get the house decorated, and we can still dress up and enjoy the event - after all, we could all do with some fun! So, whether you’re decorating the house and getting the kids dressed up for some pumpkin carving, or a student spending the evening with your flatmates enjoying a few Halloween drinks, we’re going to show you how you can enjoy plenty of frightfully good savings! As always, if you’d like to browse our full selection of Argos voucher codes - not just for Halloween - you can check them out here!
So, what sort of deals will you find in the Argos Halloween shop this October? Well, pretty much everything you need to make it a fun-filled event. The fancy dress shop is packed with Halloween costumes for the whole family, all at fantastic prices, and you’ll find plenty of ways to turn your home into a spooky haunted house with the impressive selection of Halloween decorations.
Dress to Impress and Save on Halloween Costumes with an Argos Voucher Code
While the possibility of a fright-filled Halloween extravaganza is firmly off the cards this year, that doesn’t mean you can’t dress up and enjoy the event. We’ve rounded up a selection of our favourite costume ideas you’ll find at Argos, with options for kids, families, groups and more. Best of all? The prices start from just £4!
Kids Halloween Costumes
This particular occasion is definitely one for the kids. Let's also not forget that for many little ones it will have been a tough year for them not being able to see their friends, so it’s even more reason to let them enjoy it. There’s a great collection of Halloween costumes for kids at Argos, with outfits for even the littlest of wearers too!
Spooktacular Costume Ideas
Traditionally, Halloween is all about the spooky costumes - the more ghoulish, the better! There’s plenty of great choices for kids who are wanting to embrace their inner terror, such as this Werewolf Costume, which comes complete with a detailed mask and coordinating top and trousers. At just £13 too, you’ll be howling with delight at the price! For those with little fashionistas in the making, this Red & Black Vampiress Costume is sure to be one they’ll love - the full length dress is loaded with glitter for plenty of sparkle and the bat eye mask is the perfect accessory to complete the outfit. Why not add some fangs too and really finish the look? Another popular choice for kids’ Halloween costumes has to be the classic wicked witch, and this Glitter Witch Costume is ideal for those who love a bit of sparkle! It's wickedly colourful and the embellished bat details add some extra spooky charm too. Plus, it’s a steal at only £11!
Superheroes & Princesses
There’s no denying that when it comes to fancy dress costumes for kids, at the top of the list will sit Marvel Superheroes and Disney Princesses. Back in the day, iconic and beloved character costumes would be rather pricey, often being out of the budget for a lot of parents, but thankfully, these days they’re much more affordable. Plus, with the help of an Argos discount code, there’s options for even the tightest of budgets. The Argos fancy dress shop is packed with all of your kids’ favourite DC and Marvel Superheroes, such as this Spider-Man Far From Home Costume, inspired by the latest movie. The padded abs and chest combined with a light up spider symbol will instantly get them feeling ready to save the world! Speaking of saving the world, wannabe superheroes will love this DC Comics Superman Costume too, which has muscle style padding and a 3D logo, complete with the iconic detachable red cape. Both of these super cool costumes are super affordable too - they’re both just £14!
If instead of a superhero, you have a little princess in the making, there’s a fantastic selection of Halloween costumes for girls. With gorgeous Disney outfits inspired by their favourite characters such as Rapunzel, Ariel, Princess Jasmine and Cinderella, there’s plenty to choose from!. We especially love this gorgeous Disney Frozen 2 Elsa Costume, which we know little girls everywhere will go crazy for! The sparkly blue dress is inspired by Elsa’s outfit in the latest Frozen film, and comes with a detachable cape as well as an Alice band featuring Elsa’s signature braid. Another of our favourites has to be this beautiful Disney Princess Belle Yellow Dress, inspired by Belle’s signature ball gown in Beauty and the Beast. The glittering tulle skirt and embroidered bodice is sure to get your little princess feeling like royalty this Halloween, and at just £16, you don’t have to be royalty to afford it either!
Costumes for Tiny Terrors
When it comes to the littlest of little ones, there’s no reason why they can’t be involved in all the fun either! There’s a great selection of baby Halloween costumes at Argos, and believe us, there’s some adorable outfits to choose from! We especially love this Halloween Pumpkin Bodysuit Headband and Tights!
For the Grown Ups
Not forgetting the big kids, the selection of Argos Halloween costumes has plenty for the adults too. Whether you’re a student and planning to enjoy a spooky night in with your flatmates, or a parent wanting to join in the fun, there’s so many options to get you inspired.
Halloween Costume Ideas for Couples
If you’re wanting to coordinate with your significant other this year, there’s some great options when it comes to couples’ costumes. There’s Batman and Batgirl with these Rubie’s costume sets, both at £30 each. The Batgirl costume comes with a minidress, detachable cape, mask, belt, gloves and boot tops, while the Batman costume features the traditional bodysuit along with mask and detachable cape. All you’ll need is the Batmobile and you’ll be ready to go! Or, why not go as Harley Quinn and The Joker? The DC Comics Joker Costume has everything you need to transform into Gotham City’s most menacing villain, complete with purple suit and mask, while the DC Comics Harley Quinn Costume features her signature two colour jacket and tee. If you’re feeling extra creative, why not have a go at the below make-up tutorial and really bring the look to life?
Spooky Group Halloween Costume Ideas
Group costumes can be a great way to bring everyone together and also, a good idea if you’re not sure what to dress up as in the first place! Additionally, they can also be a fantastic option for families. There’s lots of choice when it comes to family costume ideas - we’ve already mentioned Marvel and DC Superheroes, but there’s plenty more where that came from! Become a whole family of vampires with adult variations of costumes, such as the Black & Red Vampiress Dress for women, which pairs perfectly with this Kids Vampire Costume and Vampiress Dress we mentioned earlier. Alternatively, grab your Proton pack and ready to bust some ghosts with the Peter Venkman Ghostbusters Boiler Suit! Inspired by the iconic suit featured in the classic 80s movie, this adult costume is also available in a kids’ version too, even coming complete with an inflatable Proton pack! With our help, you’ll also be able to find yourself an Argos discount too, getting you and your little sci-fi fan kitted out quicker than you can say “who you gonna call?”
Last Minute Halloween Costumes
While the idea of a Halloween night out might be off the cards for students and friendship groups this year, there’s no reason why you can’t dress up and scale back the fun with a few close friends. Why not dress up and have a horror-movie night, or spend the evening playing Halloween-themed drinking games? There’s no need to even go all in with a full costume either, a few accessories can be all you need! Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of an eerie Halloween horror mask - something as simple as this Skull & Hood Mask is a simple and cheap way to join in the fun. Similarly, you can easily create a simple costume using accessory sets, such as this Devil Dress Up Kit - pair it with a red or even a black outfit and you’ve got an instant devilish look! For those who like to get creative with their makeup, a popular trend over the years has been the Day of the Dead - with colourful sugar skulls and plenty of floral patterns. Combine this Lilac Wig with Black Floral Headband along with one of the many sugar-skull makeup looks and you’ll be able to create an effective Halloween look without breaking the bank! Don’t be put off by the intricate designs either - with a bit of practice you’ll be able to flawlessly create this look in no time. Just check out this tutorial!

So, that’s your costumes all set, but what about your house itself? Well, you’re in luck there too, as the Argos Halloween shop has plenty of ghoulishly good decorations to give your home a spooky makeover inside and out.
Indoor Decorations
Halloween decorations can be a great way to bring the festivities indoors, especially if you don’t have a lot of outdoor space. One of our favourite products has to be this Light Up Halloween Book Decoration, which takes the form of a spooky spell book with glitter houses and a mystical backdrop. This lightweight decoration will make the perfect centrepiece on a table filled with treats, and the LED lights finish this mystical accessory perfectly with their warm, autumnal glow. At just £15, it’s a stylish and fun decoration that can be brought out year after year too! Similarly, this Halloween Black Light Up Tree is also a great option if you’re wanting to add a few stylish decorations into your home this year. The purple LED lights will bring a witchy glow to any room, and if you want to take things further, you can even decorate it with a few fake spider-webs to give it a spooky finish! Of course, Halloween decor isn’t complete without a few novelty bits either - such as this Large Skeleton which is perfect for giving any unsuspecting housemates a fright!
Outdoor Decorations
If you really want to embrace the Halloween spirit this year, there’s plenty to help you create the illusion of a haunted house with Argos’ selection of outdoor decorations. This quirky Cemetery Kit will make a frightfully good addition to your front garden, and you can even pair it with this stylish Gold and Black Door Wreath, perfect for those going for a “Day of the Dead” theme. Alternatively, this 4ft Inflatable Pumpkin will bring plenty of colour and Halloween cheer to any garden! Easily inflated and deflated too, it can be quickly tidied away when the fun’s all over. While we’re on the subject of inflatable decorations, for those who want to pull out all the stops, this Inflatable Happy Halloween Tree is the perfect way to do it! Standing at over 2m tall, this spooky tree features a ghoulish ghost, some pumpkins and a watchful owl to create a truly standout piece that passers-by will love.
