I've been writing about Halloween for years now. And I've seen some pretty cool Halloween stuff.

When I was a kid, my friends and I used to like to dress up as a group for Halloween. We'd pick a theme such as a favorite cartoon or movie, and then pick characters from it that we would all dress up as and go out trick-or-treating -- as a group.

These days, lots of adults have fun dressing up as group for Halloween, as well. And since many people participate in at least one Halloween party where it's required to dress up, finding group Halloween costumes is one way to make the evening even more exciting.

Here are some ideas for group Halloween costumes for adults and kids that you can buy... or make yourself!

Happy Halloween everyone!
