There are a lot of staples in the pop-punk community, but a huge one is Halloween. There isn’t a single pop-punk stan who doesn’t have a deeply rooted love for this holiday. And obviously, we’re no exception to that rule! We also love to find ways to tie the music we love to the events we love. That’s exactly why we’ve put together a list of Halloween costumes inspired by some of our favorite pop-punk bands and songs.
Donnie Darko x ‘Tune You Out’ – Knuckle Puck
This one is a classic and staple within the pop-punk community, the zip-up, full-body skeleton suit. Knuckle Puck knew what they were doing when they played that Donnie Darko audio clip in ‘Tune You Out.’ We may or may not have used this costume a handful of times ourselves…

A Worm x ‘Counting Worms’ – Knocked Loose
Is there really much more we need to say here? We think it’s amazing that Knocked Loose wrote such a beautiful song about getting better. But weirdly enough, it’s a feeling we can’t remember…

Milk x Hot Mulligan
This one also speaks for itself, but who wouldn’t want to dress up just like Tades for Halloween? Hit up your local costume shop for a milk carton costume. Or grab a white t-shirt and a Sharpie and make your own milk carton fit for the occasion. Either way, make sure you equip it with some sunglasses!

Matching Ghost Costumes x Bearings
We love the token Bearings ghosts that are a staple of their brand now. So much so, that we’re linking up with our bestie to reenact these ghosties ourselves in their honor! Dig out those old white sheets you never used, cut some holes for eyes, and enjoy your night!

Angel x Origami Angel
Okay sue us, this one is simple and straightforward. But also hear us out: this isn’t just your everyday angel. No, this is an Origami Angel. We’re talking pastel colors, wings made out of paper…heck, it’s time to break out the paper mache. Maybe carry around a tiny origami angel to help people piece it together, or turn one into a necklace.

Nella Vita Girl x Nella Vita – Grayscale
We’ve never been casual about how much we love Nella Vita over here at The Honey POP! We love it so much that we’d even dress up as the leading lady herself for Halloween. Grab a fake fur coat from a thrift store, a blue bra/bralette, some fishnets, and your favorite gray skirt. Oh and don’t forget those eyeliner tears! They’re kind of a crucial part of the costume if we’re being honest.
