Best Halloween costumes 2023: York edition
We’re the best dressed in the country – fact
York is known for being the most haunted city in the UK – I mean, the queue for the Shambles ghost shop could tell you that much. This means that York students just have to be the best dressed for Halloween. It’s a law. And if I’m gonna be honest, you didn’t disappoint this year. This is what happens when students get a whole weekend to dress up in the scariest city in the country…
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Starting off with the scariest of them all… Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. 10/10. Love the outfits, hair, makeup and most importantly, the ears.
Ratatouille
Remy and Alfredo Linguini. We all know and love them, and this costume does not disappoint. Amazing!
Salt and Pepper
It’s the tinfoil hats for me. 11/10. How do you even come up with this?
Sophia Grace and Rosie
This is too good. Can you imagine being in the club in a pink tutu and tiara?
Mario Kart characters
Mario and Luigi is always a great costume, never mind when the rest of the group join in! 10/10 for these girls, and an extra point for the matching trainers.
Boris Johnson?
Boris Johnson at the Labour society’s Halloween social (obviously).
Rowan from Bake Off
York Uni’s own Rowan sadly left the Bake Off tent last week (Halloween costume incoming). This guy has done such a good job with his costume that you’d literally think it was Rowan himself…
