Halloween is a time for kids and parents to let loose, dress up, and have fun. Why not do it in matching costumes for the whole family? Whether you're hosting a costume party or just going trick-or-treating in style, there's a theme that's just right for your family.

Some coordinating costumes are easy to find in sizes for the whole family (Star Wars, anyone?), but for others you may need to make some or all of the costumes. Raid your kids' dress-up bins, reach into the back of your closet, and fetch the musty boxes from your attic to find the best costume-worthy clothes for the whole family. Accessorize with hats and wigs from a party store as necessary to make fantastic, inexpensive family costumes.
