13 Of This Year’s Best Music Video Looks As Halloween Costumes

There were so many amazing music videos that became a part of our world this year. However, not all of them can be repurposed for the sake of a Halloween costume.

We spent several weeks debating which looks we would want to personify on Halloween. For the record, this doesn't necessarily mean that all of us are committing to the costumes, but they are killer ideas. We narrowed our list down to 13 of the best music videos that dropped in 2016 that are perfect for this weekend's festivities.

Channel your inner pop star and have the best Halloween ever.
