What Your Halloween Party Crush’s Costume Says About Them

Every year, my Halloween costume is completely dependent on my mood. The year I was feeling silly, I was Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.. The year I was feeling nostalgic, I was a Sanderson Sister from Hocus Pocus. And the year I was feeling especially spooky, I was Katherine Pierce from The Vampire Diaries. Each costume communicated something a little different about me at the time. Am I quirky? Yes. A little scandalous? Always.

According to Dr. Mindy DeSeta, PhD, a sexologist and sexual educator for Hily Dating App, someone’s costume can not only reveal fun and interesting details about them, but it can also reveal whether they’re relationship material or not—and, get this: how they are in bed. And since Halloween is considered “cuffing season kickoff,” and millions of singles are planning to attend a Halloween party this year, it’s in every single person’s best interest to know what certain costumes communicate about potential partners.

With that in mind, I tapped DeSeta for full explanations of popular Halloween costumes so you know exactly what to expect from each Travis Kelce, Glinda, and more that you’re bound to meet.

Stack from Sinners

According to DeSeta, someone who dresses up as Stack from Sinners, played by Michael B. Jordan, can only be described as intense. They might be at the party, but they are not interested in small talk whatsoever. They will likely “want to get deep with you, and dive into philosophical conversation,” says DeSeta, so if you’re not looking for anything serious or you’re interested in someone with a more light-hearted nature, keep it brief. But if things get especially fiery between the two of you, expect a sensual, passionate partner.

Carmy from The Bear

Let’s make one thing clear: This guy did not plan ahead for the Halloween party. Carmy from The Bear is a costume that got thrown together last minute—likely because he was still obsessing over work-related projects up until the second he had to leave. According to DeSeta, “This guy is intense, focused, and maybe a little stressed,” so it may take him a bit to warm up. But fear not, “once he’s locked in, he is all yours,” assures DeSeta.

Glinda from Wicked

When you meet Glinda, you’ll immediately notice her ability to make anyone feel good. She’s optimistic, deeply loyal, and protective, making for a trustworthy partner. In the bedroom, she enjoys giving pleasure as much as receiving it, often mixing sweetness with a surprising, yet sexy confidence. If you’re into a little bit of theatrics (read: role play), you’ll have a lot of fun together.

A vampire

If you want passion, mystery, and power dynamics, look for the vampire in the room. They are confident and flirty from the jump, but the more you get to know them, the more you’ll notice that they crave a deep emotional connection, too. As a partner, they are playful yet protective. And in bed? They are thrilling and devoted to pleasing you. Expect them to tap into their “seductive dark side,” says DeSeta.

Travis Kelce

This guy is confident, charismatic, and knows how to work a room. “Expect enthusiasm and someone who’s not afraid to be a little loud,” explains DeSeta. His competitive nature, combined with his golden retriever energy, means that he is attentive and eager to please, both of which are great qualities inside and outside the bedroom. “Don’t be surprised if things get a little playful and fun,” adds DeSeta, especially since he likely has a great sense of humor.

Rumi from KPop Demon Hunters

A Rumi costume from KPop Demon Hunters suggests someone who is bold, confident, and unafraid to embrace their unique identity. Their strong, mysterious persona makes them the kind of person you want to get to know, and once you do, you’ll be attracted to their passion and loyalty. If things get intimate, intensity and adventure will be at the forefront. Expect them to bring a little bit of creativity and a lot of attentiveness to your desires.

Rick from The White Lotus

“This costume comes with some serious red flags,” warns DeSeta. His effortlessly confident, smoldering vibe is undeniably attractive, but don’t get distracted by his unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt and tousled hair. “On the surface, he creates an intoxicating fantasy about what might happen behind closed doors,” says DeSeta. But in reality, he is a distant partner, unable to emotionally connect during intimate moments, whether they lie inside or outside of the bedroom.

A witch

Every Halloween party has a few witches. It’s an easy costume, but don’t be so quick to assume she’s boring. According to DeSeta, someone who is dressed as a witch is likely “an independent woman who has learned how to harness her power.” Read: She knows what she wants, and she knows how to get it. With a craving for soulful, magnetic connections, she brings passion and desire to a partnership—and the bedroom. But she also values her alone time. So don’t be surprised if you have a hard time balancing your date night schedule with the solo dates she already scheduled for herself.

Superman

This costume is all about the “dual identity” fantasy, so don’t chalk their costume (or them) up as generic. There is way more to them than what meets the eye. There are parts of their personality that they may not show you the first (or fourth) time you meet them, but once you really get to know each other, you’ll be swept off your feet. What’s even better? You can expect them to know exactly what you need, when you need it. (Read: The sex is GOOD.)

Sarbina Carpenter

If you meet a confident, flirty, and sexy blonde, she’s probably dressed as Sabrina Carpenter. Fully in her “it-girl” era, her sweetness and wit will immediately draw you in. But you’d better know how to match her energy, because she thrives on chemistry and respect as a partner. Behind closed doors, she’s the type to tease and take the lead.

A pirate

There is something about a Pirate that feels a little daring. Anyone in this costume is likely the playful type, so expect them to start flirting and teasing right away. Their free-spirited, fun-loving nature might mean they don’t necessarily want to be locked down, but if you’re cool with something more casual, you can almost guarantee that they will keep things exciting under the sheets.

Gomez Addams

If you meet Gomez Addams at the party, he is likely the type to be devoted, passionate, and unapologetically romantic. According to DeSeta, this is the kind of costume that appeals to men who “reject the ‘stoic male’ stereotype.” You won’t have to work hard to understand how he feels about you, or anything for that matter (did someone say emotionally available?), and he communicates well—especially in bed. This costume choice shows you that “he prioritizes his partner’s pleasure and emotional connection,” according to DeSeta.

Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty

Youthful, a little naive, and a total hopeless romantic, you’re likely to come across a few Belly Conklin costumes this year. She is drawn to deep chemistry and wants a love story that makes her feel like she’s in a movie. As a partner, she brings warmth, comfort, and true passion—inside and outside of the bedroom. But watch out, she might be in love with someone else.

A skeleton

Darkly humorous, self-aware, and slightly edgy, a skeleton is always a little seductive. They might be a little intense, but don’t worry, they don’t take themselves too seriously. Being with them will feel exciting, especially because they aren’t afraid to try new things or tell it like it is. Once you get to know them beyond their slightly unpredictable exterior, you’ll find someone who will be loyal until the very end.
