Now that Halloween is right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about your costume. Struggling to find ideas? Here are some TV characters to dress up as this Halloween.

Anyone From “Once Upon A Time”

Break out the princess costumes. This fairytale-centered show has endless opportunities for Halloween inspiration. Whether you choose Elsa, Hook or even Rumpelstiltskin, your outfit is bound to stand out. So be creative; a trip to any local Halloween store will yield accessories that could cater to any "OUAT" character’s look.

Olivia Benson from  “Law & Order: SVU”

This is a great twist on the classic police officer costume. If you’ve got any sort of pantsuit or leather jacket and a badge, you’re good to go. Not to mention you can head to a Halloween party straight from work.

Sam and Dean Winchester from “Supernatural”

Toss on a T-shirt, an unbuttoned flannel, some jeans and a pair of boots and you’re a hunter yourself. You could even toss some dirt on your face or fake blood on your shirt. Bonus points for the anti-possession tattoo.

Jessica Day from “New Girl”

A pair of nerd glasses, a flirty skirt and a collared top are all it takes to look like this quirky main character. Don’t be afraid to play with patterns and colors – the more outrageous it is, the more Jess would approve.

The Inmates from "Orange Is The New Black"

Arguably one of the best television shows in a long time, "OITNB" deserves many a tribute this year. So grab those orange jumpsuits (or a chef coat to honor Red), strip off your makeup and get ready to head off to Litchfield.

A Zombie from “The Walking Dead”

Sure, it may not be too original, but it wouldn’t be Halloween without a little blood and gore. Stick to the classics and dress up as a zombie. You could even get a little inspiration for your look from the ghouls at Halloween Horror Nights, which actually takes place on the set of “The Walking Dead”!

The Grantham Family from “Downton Abbey”

This look is a little more unique than the often overdone “Great Gatsby” theme. Curl your hair and grab those long gloves. A trip back to the ‘20s could be the perfect costume this Halloween.

Walter White from “Breaking Bad”

Not only is this a phenomenal show, but who wouldn’t want to dress up as Walter White? A bald cap, a mustache, some glasses – you don’t have to break the bank to pull off this unique and recognizable look.

Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer from “Pretty Little Liars”

This fashion forward foursome makes for some great costume inspiration. Whether you’re mimicking Emily’s casual style, Hanna’s new grunge look or Spencer’s schoolgirl fashion, this is the perfect excuse to look extra adorable this Halloween. Not to mention it’s a great idea for a group costume.

The Men of The Family from “Duck Dynasty”

More TV personalities than TV characters, but still very worth noting. Join the quack pack and go all out with your costume this year. A fake beard and some camouflage is all you need to channel this wacky family.
