19 iconic fictional friendship costumes that you and your bestie can recreate this Halloween

Two words: squad. goals.

True friendship is getting in someone's personal space, looking them in the eye, and asking them to dress up as the red M&M this year instead of you.

Halloween is just around the corner and finding the perfect costume for you and your partner-in-crime can be tricky.

Yes, you may go with the obvious choices - creepy clowns, the cast from Game of Thrones, or even a band of superheroes.

But the scariest night of the year is all about stepping out of the box and trying something new.

Here is a list of iconic TV and movie friends that you and your bff(s) can embody this Halloween.
