Whether you're going to a Halloween party with your sweetheart or best friend, wearing complementary costumes makes the holiday twice as fun.

Ask a friend, family member or significant other to be your better half, and pick one of these funny costume ideas for duos.

Sick and Tired
-
This funny costume idea is a pun on the phrase "I am sick and tired." One half of the duo dresses as "Sick" and uses makeup to create an unhealthy look, such as using red makeup to create chicken pox or coloring his nose red to look like a cold. The other half dresses as "Tired" and uses makeup to put bags under his eyes and messes up his hair to look like he just woke up. Wear pajamas for both costumes, and pair it with a few props like a toy thermometer and tissues for "Sick" and bunny slippers and a coffee mug for "Tired."
Tetris Blocks
-
Video games are a popular source of inspiration for Halloween costumes, even when the game has no actual characters. Use cardboard boxes to create the geometric blocks from the game Tetris. Each block uses four cardboard boxes, all of which should be painted a bright color with a bold black outline around the edges of each square. Go as corresponding Tetris pieces so when you stand next to one another, you give off the illusion that the costumes are interlocked.

College Graduate and Debt
-
Dress up as two things that go together -- a college graduate and debt. One half of the duo dresses in a traditional gown and mortarboard and carries a rolled up piece of parchment as a diploma. The other half of the duo wears a suit affixed with fake money or wears a costume of a 100 dollar bill. To really drive home the point, buy a pair of plastic prisoner shackles so the college graduate cannot escape her debt.
Gender Swap
-
A duo in drag is always worth a few laughs. A male and female duo where the guy is dressed as a woman and vice versa is sure to be a hit costume. If the duo contains two people of the same gender, dress as a famous duo from the opposite gender. For example, two men dressed as Laverne and Shirley, Thelma and Louise or Lucy and Ethel or two women dressed as Laurel and Hardy, Cheech and Chong or Bert and Ernie.
