Inspired by Christian Bale’s character as the psychotic murderer, Patrick Bateman, in American Psycho certainly would have killed it in earning good praises for Halloween. Splash as much fake blood on your face and body, an axe in hand, wearing a suit and tie, and a headphones hanging around. You have yourself a serial killer look on the loose.

3. Ariana Grande
Add a little sweetener to your look with pop star and vocalist, Ariana Grande’s look. If you notice her fashion, one thing that defined her is her half ponytail hairstyle that set her aparts. You can recreate this look too with a short dress with long boots. Of course, bonus points if you get microphone as extra props to your look.

He just wrote the word book across his face, and thus you have a lame and hilarious way of interpreting you’re literally Facebook for Halloween. Or dressing up as Mark Zuckerberg wouldn’t hurt either.
