Here are some of our favorite meme Halloween costumes.

There are several Ben Affleck reaction images that sit right on the border between super relatable and outright depressing.

The only things more memorable than the original Lord of the Rings trilogy are the hilarious interviews from the cast and crew. Why not try dressing up with a friend or partner as some of your favorite awkward one-on-ones with the classic fantasy film franchise?

In the 2004 film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) takes a potion that alters his body drastically. At one point, his body changes to that of a woman's.

To that end, former star Kimberly J. Brown tugged on all of our nostalgia when she dressed up as her character from the movie. Who wouldn't want to dress up Marnie Piper after seeing that?
