We may be stating the obvious here, but you can literally zombify ANYTHING. All you will need is a bottle of fake blood (£2.50 on Girly Night Out) and then get creative! What do you want to be this year? Fireman, Cop, Cheerleader, School girl, Wally, Princess, Prom Queen.... Even the most beautiful fancy dress costumes can be made gorey with a splash of blood and fake wound!

After THAT VMA's performance, we just know we're going to see tons of Miley Cyrus costumes out there this Halloween. So Twerk it!

What you need to do: Put your hair up in tiny buns, wear our silver leotard and carry a teddy bear. Complete the look with red lippy and don't forget to stick out your tongue!
