The Mask
This is a really clever way to dress up! You can go as The Mask from the Jim Carrey movie The Mask.
Doctor or nurse
Doctors and nurses are classic Halloween costumes but this year it's even easier to dress up like this because we're already wearing those blue face masks. Plus, it can be a tribute to all the health-care heroes out there.
Iron Man
