Chloe Moretz as Carrie Photo: Rex
Pale, plaited youngster Wednesday Addams is obsessed with death and the macabre. Though her deadpan wit is optional Wednesday's morbid school girl style is easy to replicate. Pop a sharp white collar on a dark long-sleeved dress and keep everything else a complete black out.

Catwoman
Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry and Anne Hathaway have all moonlighted as sassy fictional superhero Catwoman in recent years, but it's Lee Meriwether's Sixties siren that captured our imagination. With a shiny second-skin suit, bandit style mask and cat ears, there's something wonderfully DIY and easy to copy about her feline façade.

Black Swan
Nina Sayers, aka Natalie Portman's psychologically unstable Swan Queen, has been high on Halloween costume lists since the 2010 release of Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan. Note to revellers attempting the look on All Hallow's Eve: fit in some serious squat sessions before donning that tutu.

Velma Dinkley
"My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!" Scooby-Doo's nerdy gang member, Velma, might always solve the mystery, but she's got zero fashion sense. Her tangy orange knits and thick-rimmed glasses are an easy Halloween win; just remember her favourite goofy expression: "jinkies!"
