While not exactly breaking news, Halloween is going to look really different this year. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, trick or treating with family or tearing up the dance floor at a Hallow's Eve bash isn't exactly in the cards. So while you may be prepping for your Zoom Halloween parties—we have a bunch of great costume ideas right here—your favorite celebrities have already begun dressing to impress. And it's no secret that in Hollywood, unique Halloween costumes are guaranteed. When you look at ensembles from years past, you can't imagine how celebs will outdo costumes from last year—but they almost always do. I mean, just look at Heidi Klum: Twenty years of her legendary costume parties, and she somehow always outdoes herself. So before you go pressing play on that horror flick to set the mood for the spooky holiday, check out these terrifying cool celeb Halloween costumes. From Tiger King to supervillains, this year's costumes have been creative and elaborate.
