Tired of your Fred and Wilma costumes? Your Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow cosplays feeling too tired?

The perfect couples costumes — ones that are timely but not overused — can be hard to come by. But thankfully, the past year of shows, movies and viral pop-culture moments have gifted us all with more than enough iconic duos to pull inspiration from this Halloween. From Taylor and Travis to RFK Jr. and his brain worm, here are the best couples costumes to shop this Halloween:

Taylor and Travis

You didn’t think you could get through this list without the queen of pop herself, did you? No matter what era you’re in, Halloween is time to be fearless–just like Taylor and her real-life love story.

Get the partners-in-crime look with handcuffs and a red milkmaid dress.

Oasis

Don’t say “Trick or Treat,” say “C’mon you know.” If you weren’t able to snag a ticket to the Oasis tour, which the recently reunited brothers will embark on next year, the next best thing (sorta?) is to celebrate the beloved rock band for Halloween.

RFK Jr. and His Brain Worm

Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz

Till death do you part—or maybe not even then, if you ask Beetlejuice’s Barbara and Adam. Shop their eye-catching (and face-stretching) costumes for a classic throwback.

Glinda and Elphaba

“Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” That’s what you and your partner can sing to each other all night while having a wickedly good time dressing as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

Elisabeth Sparkle and Her Younger Self

You don’t need a non-FDA-approved injectable to become a younger version of Elisabeth Sparkle this Halloween. This couples costume, inspired by the Demi Moore-led body horror film, is probably best for mom-daughter duos.

Deadpool & Wolverine

There’s never been a more apt time to dress up as the Marvel superheroes, played by Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in this summer’s R-rated sequel.

Barbie and Ken

Barbie was the go-to costume last year but if you have a newfound partner to couple up with this Oct. 31, then you don’t want to miss your chance to dress up as a retro, rollerskating Barbie and Ken from Greta Gerwig’s bubblegum-hued blockbuster.

The Targaryens from ‘House of the Dragon’

Amazon’s “Game of Thrones” prequel series is still the talk of the town a year later. Even more intriguing is the wide array of costumes you can glean from the large cast of characters.

Rick and Morty…and Pickle Rick

A good ‘ole Rick and Morty costume feels long overdue. Don an electrified wig and go as the reckless and alcoholic scientist Rick, or wear a wide-eyed mask to go as his constantly bewildered grandson Morty. Or, simply put on an inflatable pickle costume to go as Rick’s alter ego, Pickle Rick.
