Halloween Couple Costumes and Halloween Quiz
Here are some funny Halloween couple costumes and a short Halloween History Quiz.
First, find a piece of paper, preferably blank, to write down the correct answer, a or b, for each question.
1. Why are orange and black Halloween colors?
a. Because red, white and blue were already taken.
b. Because orange is associated with the fall harvest and black is associated with darkness and death.
2. Halloween is celebrated on:
a. November 1
b. October 31
3. Halloween has its origins in:
a. That famous song celebrating the creation of the first hot dog: “Hail, O Weenie.”
b. the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (pronounced ‘sah-win’). This festival celebrated the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause sickness or damage crops.
4. Traditional activities for today's Halloweeners include:
a. Tailgating parties and scavenger hunts
b. Trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting ‘haunted houses’ and carving jack-o-lanterns.
I know what you're thinking. At first glance, these great Adam and Eve Halloween costumes look like they are very revealing, but do not worry. Each costume is a flesh-tone jumpsuit with strategic leaf coverage. Also included are "leaf" headgear. One size fits most adults. Shipping weight is 4 pounds. Add a rubber snake ($1 at the dollar store) for the finishing touch!
 | Amazon Price: $29.99 |
5. The custom of celebrating Halloween began with:
a. Costume companies on the internet who recognized a niche when they saw one.
b. Irish and Scottish townsfolk who would dress in costumes and visit neighbors to solicit food for a feast in the town on All Hallow’s Eve, the evening before Hallowmas.
6. When did this holiday first begin?
a. When the internet became available to the masses.
b. During the Middle Ages.
Now you can show the world or at the very least the folks at the Halloween costume party how much you love M and M candy with this M and M candy costume. Included is one adult female standard yellow tank dress, one adult male red poncho costume. Guys: be sure to wear slacks or shorts underneath. Gloves also included. Shipping weight: 5 pounds.
This item has sold out. But here is how you can make your own M and M costume. Purchase a rectangular piece of cloth (red, green, blue or yellow) large enough to make a poncho - cut a circular hole in the middle to slip the cloth over your head. Wear long sleeve black high neck tee shirt and black tights or pants with black sneakers. Cut out M and M logo from white cloth and sew to front of poncho. Eureka! Your own home-sewn costume.
7. Why do we dress in costumes to celebrate Halloween?
a. To support the internet costume companies.
b. Because the ancient Celts (Irish) thought that spirits and ghosts roamed the countryside on Halloween night and began wearing masks and costumes to avoid being recognized as humans.
8. What were the original jack-o-lanterns made from in the Middle Ages?
a. They were carved from pumpkins.
b. In Ireland, people placed candles in hollowed out turnips or beets to keep away evil spirits, demons and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.
Now show everyone you are not only a couple but complimentary condiments, too. Adult one size fits most all. 100% polyester tunics. Wear your own long sleeve shirts underneath and under clothing. Hats are included.
 | Amazon Price: $30.06 |
Make Your Own Costumes

9. What is the most popular Halloween candy for trick or treaters?
a. Saltwater taffy
b. Snickers
10. What do Halloween candy sales in the U.S. average annually?
a. Several thousand dollars
b, About two billion dollars.
I had to add these two adult Halloween costumes for men just because they are so funny. The male French Maid standard size costume fits men with chest sizes up to 42-44. It features a black dress with white lace trim. Accessories are a white headpiece and matching apron. Bring your own feather duster.
The male Ballerina costume fits most adults. It includes the beautiful pink tutu. Shipping weight is 4 pounds. Add your own white tights and clunky shoes like Army boots for the finishing touch.
 | Amazon Price: $23.61 |
 | Amazon Price: $9.99 List Price: $38.99 |
 | Amazon Price: $23.19 List Price: $58.99 |
 | Amazon Price: $40.00 |
For the ladies who want to wear matching costumes, the Adult French Maid costume inclues saucy dress, apron, hat, feather duster, fishnet stockings, and garter. For an added touch, wear your velvet choker and white gloves. Shipping weight 1 pound.
The Adult Ballerina costume includes a ballerina dress made of 100% polyester, tiara, stockings and choker. It is available in Medium (Bust 36-38", Waist 27-30") and Large (Bust 38-40" and Waist 31-34").
11. The fear of Halloween is called:
a. Halloweenophobia
b. Samhainophobia
Did you write down your answers to the Halloween Quiz? Are you bouncing up and down with anticipation to learn your score?
As you certainly guessed by now, the correct answers for each question are “b”. If you answered “a” for any question, you are Halloween-knowledge-challenged.
Or . . . like the author, you forgot to take your meds today. :) Happy Halloween!
Footnote: When Europeans arrived in the New World they found pumpkins plentiful and being used in cooking by Native Americans. They soon substituted pumpkins for the small Jack-o-Lantern turnips and beets.

Rated Very Funny! I love the Adam and Eve costume..hmmmm not a bad choice for this year. Thanks. oh I got a perfect score :)
micomp - Understandable. That one was tricky. No curve - just pass or fail!
Thanks for the "funny" rating, Hillary. You're spot on with your comment, too, we'll all be down to our underwear soon with rising taxes, increasing bureaucracy and the threat of inflation.
Not surprised at your perfect score either, Ms. Perfection!
:) Thanks for the visit.
I, of course, got a perfect score! (grin) Halloween is my very favorite holiday. When else can you dress up and get FREE CANDY!
My costumes have included:
Female Vampire (with O+ bags o' blood from my private stash)
Biker Broad
Tattooed Lady (Temp Tats)
Lady Godiva
Grim Reaper
Joan Jett
When you suggested the matching snake for the Adam and Eve costume, at first I thought you were referencing something extra for Adam's costume. Okay, I got it now.
Halloween is a fun time of year for me, and I always enjoy seeing what kids wear when they go trick-or-treating. I haven't been quite as ready to personally don a costume for a party since I gained some weight, but I have been known to wear an odd costume on occasion.
I always choke on quizzes, so nicomp need not worry--I personally brought down the curve.
Mike
I dont think I got any of the trivia questions right...
That last cartoon was funny. I laughed my head off. Now I got no head.
First hub I've ever pressed a rate button on "funny" thanks drbj.
We do not do the haloween-thing in Africa, but we watch the rest doing it. Lately, some has caught the bug and do it with the rest of the world, just for the fun of it.
Being a hubber now, I suppose the fellow hubbers will definitely keep me on track, like you just did!
I picked 'a' all the way through! What on earth is wrong with me?
Oh yes I once read Halloween is second in sales per year to Christmas, and Imagine there are no gifts to buy at Halloween, people def love Halloween and I'm one of them. The girls and I go all out for halloween it's such a fun holiday. Great couples costumes and Halloween Quiz... I'm an A student but as I said I'm a big Halloween fan. Peace :)
YAY!!! I got an A on the pop quiz!! Haven't been to school in a while either! What a cool Hub! I bet you had some fun putting it together. P.S. What are you wearing this year?
...so Halloween is soon to be upon us ... well if you look like me Halloween is 365 days a year - lol lol - and speaking of holidays when I visit your hallowed hub space it always feels like a holiday!!!!!
Hi, Lela - You really know how to have fun on Halloween. Yep, free candy is a great attraction. Are you going trick or treating? And what costume are you wearing this year?
I'm smiling as I'm imagining the Lady Godiva costume. Did you ride a horse? Did the horse wear a costume, too?
Mike - you rascal, you. Fair warning, I know my asp from a snake in the ground.
The great thing about costumes - buy one of a suitable size and it can cover a myriad of assets. (I think I may be stuck in an X-rated twilight zone.)
Not to worry about the quiz - no penalty is involved. As always, I appreciate your visits and your fun comments.
Hi, Chris. Right or wrong, no matter as long as you enjoyed taking the quiz. Are you dressing up as the Terminator, the Hulk or the Rock for Halloween?
Wow, hello, you are too funny. Laughed your head off? No problem. Now you can go to a costume party as the Headless Horsewoman.
Thank you for the "funny" rate, psychicdog. You and your comments are always appreciated.
So are you dressing up for Halloween?
It's interesting, equealla, that many folks living in other countries besides the U.S. have caught the Halloween bug, so to speak, and if they don't go so far as to trick or treat, everyone seems to love dressing up for a costume party.
Thanks for the visit; delighted I could provide you with some Halloween commentary.
lorlie6 - You selected all the "a" answers. Oh, my, you do need my counseling expertise. There is nothing wrong with you that six of my sessions @ $300 each cannot cure. When would it be convenient for you to begin? :)
I'm a fan of Halloween, too, katie, and it's always more fun when your children get excited about the holiday, too.
Thanks for your visit; delighted you enjoyed the quiz, too. Already knew you were a superior "student," but had you pegged for an A+.
Hi, susie, I knew you were also an A student. Thanks for the "cool hub" comment.
Since you asked about my costume, I have been invited to a Halloween party at the office of one of my biggest clients but will also be presenting a workshop there so my costume has to be subdued and not too gaudy.
So I will wear a business suit - blouse, skirt and jacket - with a small card on the lapel that says: "Ask me about my costume!"
When someone asks, I will daintily lift my skirt just a few inches to display small individual cards pinned to the bottom of my slip that read: "Ego, Id, Superego, Oedipus complex" and "Psychoanalysis." Then explain: "I am dressed as a Freudian slip."
Colin - you honor me with your visits and your laudatory comments. "Hallowed hub space ... feels like a holiday?" Epi - you are too much. Don't stop, I love it!
At $300 an hour, my dear, let's just say I'm beyond repair.
Cute ideas for couples Halloween costumes. I like Adam and Eve!
LOL - Freudian slip!! How funny... I wish I could remember all that I learned about Freud, darn me for loaning our my book!! It was borrowed forever! That was from my days in college when I took Psychology. One of my fav. classes for sure!
Funny and I love it, Thanks for making me smile this afternoon, I need it. take care drbj and thanks for your blogsite, Maita
Freudian Slip! How cool. I love it. Well, I'm way past the days when I could pull off Lady Godiva, but yes, I was riding the horse too. No costume for the horse, we went "bare back".
This year in honor of my new favorite TV show, I will be Gemma from Sons of Anarchy, or as close as I can get to a biker chick.
I'm ordering the maid costume for Bob - or maybe I should go with the Adam and Eve - except there is that snake around his neck! Bleck!
I'm not a huge fan of Halloween and I don't even know why! But I have to say you gave me a giggle - I'm thinking now maybe the Drag Queen for Bob - he's just so darned funny he could pull it off. Not sure yet what I should be though....truly - I could just don my accordion and some makeup and be that fat lady that used to be on Drew Carey's show....hmmm - must think on it some more.
Totally clever as ever and love the costumes!
Not to worry, lorlie. I also offer a discount on multiple visits. Only $299 per visit.
Hi, 2besure. Yes, Adam & Eve seem to be the most popular couples costume so far. They do have a lot of personality!
No problem with the lost Psych book, susie. Ask me any question. I have a special rate for multiple questions: $299 per hour. Heh, heh!
Maita - I made you smile today? That makes me feel good, too. So happy to have you visit. Here's a joke just for you so you keep smiling:
Q. How do you make a hotdog stand?
A. Take away its chair.
Thank you, Lela, happy you love my costume. I'm sorry I missed the Lady Godiva "bareback" on the horse. Maybe you will write a new hub and post your Gemma costume. Do you have a motorcycle? Tho I suppose you could use a horse if you have to.
Audrea - I would love to see Bob in either of those costumes with his manly appearance and a woebegone look on his face.
As for your costume, after that hub on "killing" fish, you might want to consider a dominatrix outfit with a fishing pole as a whip. Just kidding, you know.
I'm really visualizing you as Snow White or Cinderella because your heart is so pure and you have found your Prince Charming! Have to make it up to Bob, you know.
Thank you for the "clever as ever" comment - you know I will use it.
Nice information. It is new to us. I googled and learned about it.
Thanks for the information
My pleasure, jacobkuttyta, to provide the information - especially when it is new to someone. Thank you for stopping by and you're most welcome.
Loved all the Halloween facts, must have taking you ages researching them but it all made for a great hub, loved it but I loves Halloween !
Unfortunately, i hope this hub doesnt get to much airplay - those male French maid outfits almost made me lose my lunch..no, seriously, the quiz aspect really made this fun, clever combination.
Me, too, Art, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Didn't mind at all taking the time to research. Can't help but think anyone who wears body tattoos is already in costume for the holiday.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thank you, sunforged. I was worried for a minute there. Wouldn't want to be the cause of serious regurgitation. I had fun devising the quiz and appreciate that you enjoyed it.
This is my families favorite holiday. it's "Calan Gaeaf" in Welsh. We have a big party every Halloween and the crowd seems to get bigger evry year. One of our old Welsh traditions that we do; I have fire pit in the center of our yard and a place in the house with a pen and paper handy. Guests go there and write down all the negative things in their life, then, the person dressed as death goes around with a cauldron, gathers all the folded pieces of paper and throws them into the fire. It's a very popular part of our Halloween celebration.
Thank you very much for this Hub it's so well written and presented. You do excellent work.
What a thoroughly enjoyable hub with a bit of history and several laughs. Very clear drbj!
Hi, ianto. "Happy Calan Gaeaf" to you. Your Welsh tradition about having "Mr. Death" burn all the negative notes is a great idea. I can see it catching on here in the U.S. Especially if Halloween party-goers in our country remember that the fire for burning the slips of paper is in a pit outside and not inside.
Thank you for visiting and your very kind comments.
This was so enjoyable to read! I love your quiz-hubs. This one was fun and educational too ~ everything did not begin on the internet!! Thanks for a great hub:)
Hello, Pamela - how nice to have you visit. I'm delighted you enjoyed the history and the laughs. The history part was easy. The laughs in today's rather negative world, is the hard part.
Hi, tracykarl - happy you enjoyed this hub and the quiz. Putting fun and education together has always been my desire; just not always appropriate when you are conducting a seminar on Human Sexuality.
Although, on second thought, maybe it is.
Hilarious! I am from a place which doesn't celebrate Halloween but it does look like a whole lot of fun!!!!
I saw your Halloween Couple Costumes and Halloween Quiz on the feed today, the intro picture of that darn squirrel hooked me again. I'm still on the fench about my halloween costumes this year, I'll be back. :)
Hello, divacratus, thanks for stopping by. You live somewhere where Halloween isn't celebrated? Pore baby. Tell you what. Have a costume party, invite your friends, put on masks, and run around the neighborhood with a large bag "trick or treating." If you don't get arrested, you will have a jolly good time. Promise.
And thanks for the "hilarious."
You are so creative, katie, I know you will come up with something clever. If the Adam and Eve costumes are not your cup of tea though they ARE funny, how about pinning a large photo of Obama to your front and say you are a dart board. Just make sure you don't have any darts available.
Love, love, love Halloween and this is one fabulous hub! Hilarious and entertaining, not to mention informative. Big thumbs up!
I knew I made no mistake in finding you. Thank you step, if I may be so informal. Comments like "fabulous, hilarious, entertaining, informative and thumbs up" are most def my cup of tea. Visit me any time.
Cute hub! Voted up!
Hi, holle, nice to have you visit. Thank you for commenting and voting "up." Have you been away? Missed you.
Leave it to the one and only drbj to come up with something as clever as this couples halloween hub. And I thank you for giving me the biggest laugh .. hehe I am still cracking up ! I can always count on you for the best fun :)
Any time you need a laugh, Shari, just call and I'll come running. Well, maybe not running but jogging. Well, maybe not jogging, but walking very fast.
Thanks for the visit and the lovely comments. I enjoy your clever hubs, too.
Well I have to say drbj - what a clever, well presented and down right interesting hub dish you served up with this one.
I'm impressed to say the least - and feel the need to start pumpkin carving to say the most. Unfortunately (or not, depending upon your perspective) I'm a Halloween misery.
I leave candy outside the door, in the hope the door-knockers refrain from knocking. Usually involves candy-free-for-alls but at least I get to see some action. Moms don't like their little ones getting all greedy ;)
Fokke University sounds a hoot by the way. Sign me up. And shhhhhh. The new persona is best left as is ... anon.
A well served hub, rated up, awesomed and enjoyed!
Hi, BD - how exhilarating to meet you. With all those marvelous, lovable hub-describing adjectives, you may just be my newest BFF.
Be careful with that pumpkin carving, although it is so much easier to carve a Halloween pumpkin than a Halloween turnip!
I'm back to doling out Snickers again for the trick or treaters. Last year I gave them apples but when I dropped them into their shopping-bag-sized sacks, they complained I broke their cookies.
By all means, visit "Fokk University" and sign up - an alias is allowed.
Thanks for stopping by - hope to see more of you.
This was such an entertaining hub! I actually learned a thing or two about Halloween. I personally liked the M&M's costume. Great read!
Thank you, izettl. Delighted you enjoyed your visit. So did I. Thank you for your kind words. Originally, the M&M couples costume was available from Amazon but they must have sold them all so I'll look for another to replace it.
Very fun hub! Thank you! It brings on the Halloween spirit! And i must say, I just LOVE that Superman squirrel picture!!
Ah, erthfrend, so happy to meet you. You have proven yourself to be a person of superior intellect and joie de vivre. I've been waiting for someone to admire that Superman squirrel which I think is very, very funny.
Thank you for your visit and your knowledgeable comments.
I wish they'd get the blue M&M costume- actually I'd rather eat them. lol!
Ah, izettl - you are indeed a woman of discretion. The blue ones taste the best! The candy, that is, not the costume. I have been searching for another source for that costume.
In the meantime, why not just buy a suitable length of bright blue material, fold it in half, cut a hole in the top for your head, and voila, a poncho. You can add the M&M logo in white or black to the front. No charge.
i don't get it. how dose this thing work
allison - it works the same way as your other things?????
This was a really cool hub. I love all of the costumes and cannot decide on which to choose. The trivia was informative as well. I look forward to reading more of your hubs. LP
Hi, lisadpreston, nice to meet you. Delighted you enjoyed my "really cool hub." What a pleasant comment. Thank you. I look forward to seeing more of you on my other hubs, too.
dr, I do love Halloween and it would be great fun to dress up as a couple. Last year I was Frida Kahlo, but this year I want my husband and I to be the Blues Brothers. We'll have to watch youtube and rehearse that dance. (100% on the quiz)
100% correct, Dolores? I would expect no less from you. If you take a photo of you and hubby as the Blues Bros., would love to see it. Here's wishing you a great time at Halloween - it's a genuinely fun holiday.
Thanks for the visit and comments - much appreciated.
What a funny & very unique hub! I like your quiz, it can be great idea to have fun with friends using this questions :)
Thank you, mioluna, for stopping by. "Funny and unique" are two of my favorite adjectives. How did you know?
By all means, give this Halloween Quiz to your friends and reward the most knowledgeable with a Snickers. It would work for me!
Thank you so much drbj for brightening up the Holloween for me; the darkness of the contest that's going on right now is getting to me, so I needed a lighter and funnier prospective. Loved the history of it as well.
Petra - you make a good point. Halloween can be a fun time with costumes, parties and hilarity. And it can be just the opposite as well with darkness, despair and depression. The former is much better.
Thank you for your kind comment. Did you have costume parties in Romania? To celebrate Vlad's birthday perhaps?
Funny, funny and cute also. Thank you for sharing this with us. What you can't think of.....
I enjoy the pictures of all the costumes. The ballerina and maid were a bit shocking, really. I am for once, not a failure at one of your quizzes! :)
I want to dress up for Halloween for school, with a costume that corresponds with the other teacher in my core. I'm thinking about dressing up as an old grouchy lady, and asking her to dress up as a young nice woman. We have a running joke that I am the nice young one and she is the old mean one (she is not that old!). The kids never know what to say when I get called by the wrong name and my response is, "I'm not old and mean, so stop calling me that!" LOL!
Hello, dear Linda. Thanks for appreciating my humor (?). I have not yet begun to 'fright'. Sorry about that but I try never to miss an opportunity.
Thanks for stopping by and the "funny, funny, cute." So are you!
Congrats on scoring so well in the quiz. If you think the ballerina and the maid costumes for men are shocking, can you even begin to imagine the shock and amazement their spouses or partners will exhibit upon seeing them in costume for the first time? Would love to be a fly on those walls.
Clever idea, AC, with dressing as the "old, mean" teacher. Only problem, if this is a costume you will be wearing in school, you may influence the young, impressionable minds of your students with the old mean view and never change their perceptions of you. Be careful what you 'dress' for.

I missed the saltwater taffy question. :(
Are you grading on a curve?
