Whether it’s Halloween, Purim, a fan convention, or just a costume party, dressing up is all about having fun and stepping into a new role that’s nothing like IRL. And what’s more thrilling than stepping into the shoes of a villain? After all, villains may be wicked, but they’re undeniably the most entertaining characters in any story. From pirates to witches, scoundrels to vampires, these dastardly figures give us a chance to embrace our mischievous side—all in good fun, of course.

To inspire you to take a walk on the dark side, we’ve curated a list of our favorite villain costumes from movies, fairytales, books, and Disney classics. And just for fun, we even included an unlikely villain: a milk carton! Because for the lactose-intolerant, dairy can be the ultimate nemesis. Whether you’re channeling an evil queen, a fearsome pirate, or getting creative with our villainous milk carton (haha!), we’ve detailed the ingredients to each outfit.

So get ready to look your best while embracing your inner villain—without actually being evil! These villain costumes for Halloween are perfect for anyone who loves to stir up a little chaos in the most fun, fashionable way.
