Lots of ideas are online, ABC News has a great resource (linked below) but let's look at what some of the celebrities have revealed they will be dressing their kids and themselves up in for Trick or Treat.
Some celebrity suggestions for kids from the little girl of the fabulous Katie Holmes.
Suri Cruise, 3, is so ready to trick or treat after a trip to the Halloween Store in Boston. The adorable toddler is already trying on outfits for Halloween, dressing up as a princess in photographs that surfaced. Suri, who was out with her mother, even managed to change from the princess outfit, complete with heels, into a more casual matchy-match outfit.
Suri, who is recently enrolled in a pre-school, should find a Boston Halloween crisp, thrilling and spooky.
Holmes recently said of Suri: "She just loves sparkly things and she loves bright colours. She has an idea of what she wants to wear every day, and so do I, so we go with it!"

For the Nicole Richie family:
Nicole Richie has revealed what her family will be doing for Hallowe'en this year. The 28-year-old gave birth to son Sparrow six weeks ago and she also has a 21-month-old daughter, Harlow, with boyfriend Joel Madden, 30.
Talking about the plans, she said to EXTRA: "I'm going to be the White Rabbit. I wanted Harlow to be something from Alice in Wonderland, but she really wants to be Tinkerbell." However, Richie said Sparrow will be easier to dress as he's so little. She said: "I will wrap him up in toilet paper and make him a little mummy. He doesn't care." However, Madden won't be able to join his family for the fun as he'll be in Australia.

For adults, Lauren Connrad is skipping sexy and going as a clown:
Hills star Lauren Conrad has revealed her costume idea for Halloween this year and said she wants to go as a 'pretty girl clown'. The 23-year-old fashion designer said she will put a girly spin on the classic clown costume this October 31.
She said to MTV News: "We were just talking about this today, and I decided that I want to be a clown this year. "Like, a pretty clown with a tutu and bright tights and suspenders. A girl clown." Lauren said she's hoping that this year's costume will be better than some of her previous ones. She added: "I always leave it to the last minute. I remember one year, it was Halloween, and I didn't have a costume. I took a sheet, like TV shows [and] cut the holes [to] be a ghost. It was the worst costume ever."
