As Halloween approaches, many couples look forward to a fun time, and want to celebrate it together with costumes that compliment each other. Matching costumes can make you the hit of the party. Here are 10 killer costume ideas for him and her.

  1. Hans Solo and Princess Leah: If you're a fan of Star Wars, you can always dress up as two of the most famous characters from the series: Hans Solo and Princess Leah. Hans Solo can wear his famous vest and Princess Leah can dress in the beautiful long gown from the beginning scenes or if you want to be a little more risque the more scantily clad get-up she was wearing in Jabba the Hut's lair. Plus, the complete collection just came out on Blu-Ray.

  2. The Zombie Pair: Vampires are out, Zombies are in. So grab some grey face paint, blacken those eyes, and add a few fake wounds. With some tattered clothing, you can be the perfect zombie match. Just remember to grunt and groan as you search for fresh brains.

  3. Cop and robber: This classic costume is great for couples. One gets to be the police officer in a dark blue uniform with a fake police badge (of course), while the other dresses in black and white stripes like a jail bird. Compliment the outfit with a pair of fake handcuffs. After the party, those handcuffs can become a prop in the bedroom.

  4. Romeo and Juliet: For the romantics out there, what could be more romantic then dressing up as Romeo and Juliet. You should be familiar with the style of clothing for that particular period. Although there's no definitive outfit for this costume, dressing up in clothing from that time period should give it away.

  5. Devil and Angel: Here's your chance to show both your better half and mix it with a little bit of naughty. The guy carry a pitchfork and deck himself out in red, while the girl can wear all white. Don't forget the silver halo and the red horns! Or if the girl is really into it she can be the seductively naughty devil, tempting the man.

  6. Bonnie and Clyde: Wouldn't it be fun to dress up as two of the most famous criminals of all time? Older 1920s or 1930s style garb is appropriate for this costume. Paired with a fake black powder handgun or (even better) a Tommy gun will make you look like you two just got back from robbing the savings and loan! Maybe a pair of money would complete the look.

  7. Wonder Woman and Superman: Everyone loves superheros? When it comes to comic book icons, this dynamic duo makes a super combination. It's always fun to see your wife or girlfriend dressed up in blue tights and red capes isn't it? And she'll probably equally enjoy seeing you.

  8. God and Goddess: Come to the party in true Greek fashion with togas for the guys and beautiful flowing white gowns for the ladies. Dress it up with a cute gold belt, and the men can carry a dagger or sword. You'll look smashing and you will be in the favor of the Gods, which guarantees you will have a great time.

  9. Fred and Wilma Flintstone: For those who want to relive their childhood consider dressing up as the easily recognizable cartoon couple, Fred and Wilma Flintstone. For the guy it's Fred's signature orange getup with a blue scarf. He should carry a club for that extra look. Plus, Wilma looks beautiful in her white dress, red hair, and pearls.

  10. Doctor and Nurse: This is a versatile pair. Dress up as a doctor and nurse can be cute, sexy, or scary. It just depends how you where your costume. Plus, this is an affordable costume, considering, you can easily find a used pair of scrubs to wear or borrow someone's if you know a doctor or nurse. Dress it up with a stethoscope, and don your nurse's hat or doctor's overcoat with the traditional red medical cross.

These costume idea's come from the owner of Columbia's Scariest Haunt. Wes Upchurch and his company Arcane Industrial are dedicated to providing more scares and more value.
