Each year, people plan for Halloween in advance so they can perfectly execute the ensemble they plan to rock that night. The outfits that get the most recognition and always go viral seem to be popular TV and movie characters. Since Halloween falls on a Thursday this year, many of the platform’s users showed off their costumes over the weekend. Check out some below that got great responses.
‘Sister, Sister’
The 1990s hit show starred twin sisters Tia and Tamera Mowry who played the roles of long-lost siblings who were separated and adopted by two different people. After they accidentally ran into each other one day at the mall, their adoptive single parents decided to live together so the girls could have a chance to develop a bond. For years, Tia and Tamera have inspired Halloween costumes.

‘That’s So Raven’
In the first season of the Disney Channel sitcom, Raven dressed up as the persona of a fictional international pop star, Liz Anya, to persuade a pretentious restaurant owner to rehire her father as a chef. What many believed to be a phony celebrity turned out to be real when Liz Anya reappeared during the season one finale episode of Raven’s Home. However, this time, it wasn’t Raven impersonating her; it was the actual star she had mimicked a decade earlier.
