According to your zodiac sign, obviously.

Halloween is just around the corner, but you still have no idea what to wear? Did you know that your zodiac sign could be the key to finding the perfect horror cult classic character for your Halloween costume? Here is the eerie world of horror and its most cult classic characters that will help to define your Halloween outfit.

Aries — Elvira (Elvira’s Movie Macabre)

Elvira's confident and seductive personality resonates with the fiery and bold nature of Aries. Much like Elvira, Aries are not afraid to take center stage, embrace their uniqueness, and challenge everyone around them with their always daring looks.

Taurus — The Headless Horseman (Sleepy Hollow)

The determination and tenacity of the Taurus is embodied in the relentless pursuit of the Headless Horseman. Both Taurus and Tim Burton's adaptation of The Headless Horseman are unyielding in what they want to accomplish and won't rest until they find answers and justice.

Gemini — Jack Skellington (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

Gemini's adaptability and dual personalities are similar to the character of Jack Skellington, who is in turmoil between Halloween and Christmas towns. Both are curious and expressive, always looking to make a positive change in their lives.

Cancer — Emily (Corpse Bride)

Cancerians are deeply emotional and nurturing, which makes them a great match for Emily from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. They both share an emotional depth and longing for love and are probably the only ones whose heart can still ache and break even after it stopped beating.

Leo — Pearl (X/Pearl)

Leo's love of the spotlight and desire to be seen and appreciated like a high-class movie star is mirrored in Pearl's character from the X franchise. Both thrive on attention, enjoy being the center of admiration, and can literally go crazy if someone takes away their shine. No matter what version of Pearl you choose, you’ll still be the life of the party.

Virgo — Michael Myers (Halloween)

Michael Myers' methodical pursuit of his victims resonates with Virgo's meticulous and analytical approach to life. Both pay close attention to detail and are extremely clever, always nailing the disappearing act. But you still need to work on the mess you leave behind, though.

Libra — Nadja (What We Do in the Shadows)

Nadja may not embody Libra's sense of balance, but her lively and charismatic personality resonates with Libra's love of socializing. Passionate but stubborn, Libras' desire to constantly connect and build relationships throws them into everything, whether it's throwing great parties or opening a nightclub. You should support everything they do, even if it means killing someone.

Scorpio — Wednesday Addams (Wednesday)

If rain clouds were people, they would all be born under the sign of Scorpio, with a deep and intense nature. And no one represents the sign better than a gothic and emotionally reserved Wednesday Addams. Deadpan humor, the thought that you are much smarter than everyone else, and outsider traits — Scorpios were meant to be a part of the Addams family.

Sagittarius — Winifred Sanderson (Hocus Pocus)

Sagittarians value their independence, and Winifred's leadership within the Sanderson trio and her strong-willed nature make her a character to be admired by Sagittarians. Sagittarians are also very bold and determined characters with a great sense of humor, and Winifred's quirky and theatrical antics fit this trait perfectly.

Capricorn — Ghostface (Scream )

Capricorns are often seen as responsible, driven, and ambitious, much like the mask-wearing, voice-modulating Ghostface who controls the entire town of Woodsboro. While Capricorns may not necessarily agree with Ghostface's murderous actions, they can definitely see themselves in the character's dedication to achieving their goals, even if they are morally questionable.

Aquarius — Jennifer Check (Jennifer’s Body)

If we had to have a one-sentence description of Aquarius individuals, it would be "the school's stars turned succubus." Known for their truth-telling, rebellious persona that isn't afraid to get a little dirty in order to challenge societal norms, even if that means to get rid of every man on the planet, the best match of an Aquarius is a hundred percent Jennifer Check.

Pisces — Sally (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

For Pisces, Sally, a rag doll from a fantastical world, is a perfect Halloween character because she is perfectly in tune with their dreamy and artistic nature. Pisces also tend to be compassionate and empathetic, just like Sally, who cares deeply for Jack Skellington, even if he doesn't notice her at first.
