Unique Halloween Costumes

One of the best parts about Halloween is the chance to dress up in any Halloween costume, no matter how weird. It's the one night you can be whoever (or whatever) you'd like to be. However, no number of pumpkin spice lattes, caramel apples, and piles of candy can fix most people's biggest fear: wearing the same costume as someone else. You get that weird knot in your stomach because what if someone else got the same costume as you? They couldn't...they wouldn't, but they just might. Don't worry, though—we're here to help. We've compiled a list of unique Halloween costumes so you can pick one that your fellow partygoers most likely haven't picked up.

Sinister Disney Villains Cocktail and Mocktail Recipes to Quench the Wickedness in You [Printables]

Disney Villains Cocktail & Mocktail Recipes

Disney villains...what would our princesses and protaganists be without them? After all, Aladdin and Jasmine wouldn't be able to save the day if not for the dark and mischevious Jafar. All that villainy takes a lot of energy and we know there has to be a way for our favorite villains to relax after a hard day's work. Maybe they all go home and binge-watch their favorite crime shows or maybe they just head straight for their bed. We like to think they gather at a pub and share stories of their failed conquests over refreshing drinks and hearty appetizers. Ursula is always cackling at the corner of the bar with a Sea Witch's Brew in hand and Hades tends to end his night passed out in a booth with a table-full of Blue Lagoons. We contacted the bar owner to find out the recipes for you and your friends so you can get a taste of what being a villain is like. Keep reading to find your favorite below!
