Halloween is on a Thursday this year, which means those parties you’ll be hitting will arrive almost a full week earlier than the spooktacular holiday. With the festivities beginning as early as Friday, October 25, your annual chance at costumed debauchery is frighteningly close, and you have even less time to procrastinate on getting your outfit together than usual.

Luckily, we nerds here at Kotaku love a good costume (including non-spooky cosplay costumes). If you need some last-minute inspiration, take a look at a few of the Halloween costumes we’ve covered this year.

Pokémon with guns (aka Palworld) is a massive hit and a lot of kids and teenagers are enjoying the open-world survival crafting game. It’s likely to be a popular source of inspiration for this year’s Halloween costumes and so, as expected, some companies are already producing unofficial merch that might end up on someone knocking on your door for candy later this fall. — Zack Zwiezen
