How I Met Your Mother is one sitcom that fans will always be binging on repeat, and it's probably the best out there when it comes to Halloween episodes. From the iconic slutty pumpkin to whatever weird thing Ted Mosby comes up with, there's plenty of awesome costumes to go around.
With this spooky holiday right around the corner, it's time to look back at the best costumes this show had to offer. Whether fans want to recreate these memorable looks, or they just love laughing and celebrating the holidays with these characters - there's some stellar costumes from this show.
Sonny & Cher
Marshall and Lily rightfully deserve to be on this list multiple times, and it's because their costumes are too hilarious and unique to ignore. They decided to go as Sonny and Cher, but to switch it up - Marshall went as Cher, and Lily as Sonny.
This was both totally funny and pretty darn cute, and they certainly stuck out at the Halloween party. This is certainly a couple's costume that fans should recreate.
Ted's 'Hanging Chad'
This might be one of the worst Halloween costumes on the list, but it's what Ted always wore - in hopes of meeting the slutty pumpkin once again. It's a pretty nerdy costume, and fans expect nothing less from Ted.
It probably wouldn't earn him 'best costume' at any party, but fans will always remember it as the costume that Ted Mosby wore over and over again - and fans have been eager to go as him for their own Halloween parties.
Tracy As The Voter
As quirky and ridiculous as Ted's 'hanging chad' costume is, he definitely met his soulmate when Tracy agreed to go as a voter for Halloween. These two had the nerdiest couple's costume of the night.
Still, they might have been the most adorable, and they didn't care what anyone else thought. Lovers of this show could definitely go as Tracy and Ted for Halloween.
Barney's 'Apollo Creed'
In this episode, Barney learns he's part Canadian, and Robin won't let him hear the end of it. She dares him to wear a Mountie costume to the party, and instead, Barney shows up in a full-fledged American outfit.
Completed with an American flag, he is all red, white, and blue, with a starry hat and, well, no shirt. He definitely was celebrating American Halloween.
The Whale
When Lily was pregnant, she went full swing with her Halloween costume. Her and Marshall dressed up as Ahab and the whale, and it was probably the cutest thing to happen.
Lily in her all-white spandex and baby bump is too memorable not to share, and it's definitely one of the best that these two have come up with.
Robin's Hockey Player
Robin only dresses up for one of the Halloween parties, otherwise, she's pretty relatable as being 'too busy' to find an actual costume. However, fans can celebrate the adorable time she dressed up as a Vancouver Canuck.
Of course, this led to a rivalry between Apollo Creed and the hockey player, but this only made it a pretty memorable costume - and was great for all the Canadian fans of this show.
The Breakfast Club (Kind Of)
In a throwback, when the gang is discussing how they can't do group costumes, fans are able to immediately laugh at all of them showing up as John Bender. Clearly, a miscommunication, and they were only one part of the club.
Still, this Halloween costume is kind of funny, and fans can totally be this gang trying to be the Breakfast Club - or, they could just do it right.
The Bull & Matador
Lily and Marshall are kind of the king and queen when it comes to couple's costumes, and this one is certainly no exception. Marshall is the bull, with Lily as his handsome matador.
It's quirky and cringy, but is also totally hilarious and adorable at the same time. Their creativity never ceases when it's time to celebrate this spooky holiday.
Barney's 'Maverick'
Barney is definitely known for making an appearance that is worthy of turning heads. When it comes to Halloween, he tries to be the coolest guy on the roof - and this one might probably earned him that.
Barney dressing up as Maverick from Top Gun is both hilarious and totally cool, and it's the perfect fit for the arrogant and bold Barney Stinson.
The Spices
Marshall and Lily strike again with their couple's costumes, but they do have a hilarious throwback to college, when Ted just wanted to be a part of their costume ideas. Where there's salt and pepper, there can also be cumin - according to Ted.
This is definitely worthy of some eye rolls and head shakes, but it's just plain Ted fashion. Honestly, the three of them made a pretty cute spice rack.
