costume call

instant halloween inspiration from netflix and hulu.

by liza darwin

Let's face it, coming up with a creative Halloween costume is hard (this is exactly why we're tempted to copy our favorite It girls' outfits from last year...). 

But here's another option, and it requires nothing more than a Hulu or Netflix account. Both sites are practically overflowing with inspiration--however, nobody wants to sort through thousands of movies for ideas.

So we've done the hard work for you and filtered through the rom-coms, the cult classics, and even the totally random flicks, for the ultimate Halloween costumes. And the best part is, all of the films are streaming online right this second for free.

The result: 20 movies, 20 different ideas, and seriously, there's something for everyoneGet a sneak peek of our picks below, and click through the gallery for more. Now how's that for instant gratification?!
