Looking for a Halloween costume with a bookish twist? From gothic classics like Wuthering Heights to fan-favorite adaptations like The Love Hypothesis, there’s plenty of inspiration to pull from the pages of your favorite books. Whether you’re looking to recreate a character’s iconic look or put your own spin on a beloved story, these bookish Halloween costumes are a fun way to bring your favorite reads to life.

Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights took the world by storm at the beginning of the year, so it should come as no surprise that we’re kicking off this list with a look inspired by Cathy herself. The best part about this look is that you can mix and match these pieces to wear throughout the year.

The Love Hypothesis

Inspired by Olive’s iconic cover look from The Love Hypothesis, this costume is a fun but easy nod to the book and its new screen adaptation. A white lab coat, classic pink tee and jeans, and a few science-inspired accessories bring the look together.

People We Meet on Vacation

Poppy’s unforgettable New Orleans look in the People We Meet on Vacation adaptation was one of our favorites from the film, which is why we had to recreate it for this round-up. We’ve recreated her blue wig and sparkly top from the bar and nightclub dance scene, so you can pretend you’re walking down Bourbon Street.. All you need is your very own Alex decked out in a sparkly cowboy hat and matching glittering sunglasses and a light up lanyard.

A Court of Thorns and Roses

Take a trip to the Night Court with this look inspired by Feyre and the Starfall celebration. The celestial gown is perfect for recreating the magic of one of the series’ most iconic scenes, and we think it’s the perfect way to bring a little Prythian to your Halloween. PS, for those looking for a costume that’s a little closer to the outfit that Feyre wore at the Court of Nightmares, you can find that here.

The Hunger Games

Bring The Hunger Games to life with a costume inspired by one of the most well-known book characters in the world, Katniss Everdeen. Complete the look with her signature braid and this look will be instantly recognizable for fans of the series. This is another option that includes pieces that you most likely already have in your closet, making it one of the easiest last-minute options.

Off Campus

Was anyone else obsessed with Allie’s look from the Drunk Shakespeare scene in the Off Campus series or was it just us? If you fangirled as hard as we did when we first saw it and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since, this one is for you. We’ve found a dress that fits the look almost perfectly, but you also have the option to do a skirt and bustier like Mika did for the scene—we’ve found you both!

Pride and Prejudice

Netflix is bringing back yet another adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice this winter, and while we are impartial to the 2005 version, we can’t wait to see Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy back on our screens. If you’re a hopeless romantic at heart, this costume is for you. Step back in time with a regency dress, elbow-length gloves, and delicate pearl hair pins. All you’re responsible for is finding someone who will treat you to your very own hand flex.

Heated Rivalry

Because Heated Rivalry came out at the end of 2025, it was a missed opportunity for Halloween. That’s why we expect to see plenty of Shane and Ilya’s this spooky season. Not to mention the fact that it’s a super simple costume. All you need is their jerseys and a hockey stick.
