Punny Tricks and Treats This Halloween!

Happy Halloween, puzzlers and PuzzleNationers!

One of the best things about Halloween is guessing what people’s costumes are. Clever costumes can be great fun, and I’m a huge fan of costumes that only cost a few bucks to put together, because they really let your creativity shine through. (They’d all make terrific #SpookySolvingSelfies!)

Punny costumes lend themselves to the low-budget costume genre brilliantly. So it’s only appropriate that we celebrate Halloween in the puzzliest way possible by looking at some punny costumes!

This time around, though, we’ve got a bit of a twist for you, as each costume is a punny combination of pop culture icons! Can you figure out these punny mashup costumes?

Let’s try one:

Get it? It’s Homer and Marge!

I’ve compiled ten punny mashup costumes for you to figure out. Let’s see how many you can get!
