13 best Halloween costumes bands have worn together
Some of your favorite musicians have posted proof of pretty sick Halloween costumes over the years, but those don’t compare to when they’re on tour or hanging out together and able to put together a group getup. From Minions to Ninja Turtles, here are some of the best Halloween costumes bands have worn together.
State Champs as Minions
The Despicable Me series’ Minions are one of the many fads to hit the pop culture circuit in recent years. Whether you love or hate the gibberish-speaking characters, there’s no denying State Champs pulled off this group effort.
Thirty Seconds To Mars as horror movie villains

Pierce The Veil as Ninja Turtles
Pierce The Veil really rocked their take on everyone’s favorite pizza-loving reptiles during 2012’s Collide With The Sky Tour.
You Me At Six as pirates
You Me At Six really got into their costume—all the way down to the pirate speak.
Neck Deep as Slipneck
Neck Deep took their costume to new levels, teasing fans in the days leading up to the reveal of their Slipknot-inspired alter egos, Slipneck. They invested in masks from Hot Topic and bought boiler suits for the band and crew, resulting in quite a memorable outcome.
The Wonder Years as wild animals
The Wonder Years went all out with their animal costumes and referred to themselves as the Wild Years.
Fall Out Boy as Mario and Friends
Fall Out Boy dressed up as Panic! At The Disco back in 2007, which was pretty great, but it still doesn’t top their take on Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Yoshi.
The Maine as zombies
Simple yet effective, the Maine sported these zombie getups while out co-headlining with Anberlin in 2013 in support of their fittingly titled Forever Halloween.
Motion City Soundtrack as Michael Jackson and the Thrillers

You can never go wrong with the King of Pop, as Motion City Soundtrack showed with this “Thriller” inspired costume.
Mayday Parade as wizards
With assistance from the Maine on their co-headlining tour back in 2012, the two bands dressed as wizards and played “wizard staff,” where the point is to consume enough beer to make a staff out of the cans.
Taking Back Sunday as the Avengers

Taking Back Sunday struck their best superhero pose in these badass Avengers costumes.
Bring Me The Horizon as bat-human hybrids
BMTH put effort into their costumes each year, from a group of superheroes to the Village People, but nothing looked quite as cool as their spooky makeup-heavy bat-human hybrid from last year. The band even worked the costume into the intro of their set, giving the backstory of their “deformities” as being caused by radiation.
New Years Day as Spawn Temple
New Years Day are no strangers to a love of Halloween, so it’s no surprise they went all in with this black metal alter ego, Spawn Temple. They even planned it down to pseudonyms, such as Ash Costello’s Mistress Ashteroth.
