Halloween is Here: Check out the year’s best Game of Thrones costumes

It’s October 31, Halloween, when ghosts and ghouls and drunk people come out to celebrate the world of the living brushing up against the world of the dead.

It’s also the time for people to break out their fantastic Game of Thrones-themed costumes, which they did in spades over the weekend. Let’s check out some highlights.

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen both had pivotal roles in the latest season of the show, and plenty of people honored them with costumes. Let’s start our journey with the Hall of Jon Snows:

These guys decided to go as the whole Stark family…

…while this one let the spirit of the night take him away:

"Shit Quality, but apparently I rode a mechanical bull sometime in the night from freefolk"

And we can’t forget Jon’s pal Sam:

"[NO SPOILERS] A friend sent me a picture of a doppelgänger she ran into last weekend… from gameofthrones"

You’d best believe there’s also a Hall of Daenerys…es:

"[NO SPOILERS] Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons. Halloween 2017 from gameofthrones"

"[NO SPOILERS] Won "sexiest female costume" at the bar last night, despite wearing the most amount of clothing! Thanks, Khaleesi!! from gameofthrones"

"I was told this subreddit would like my halloween costume this year. My horse and I as Daenerys and Drogon from freefolk"

She dressed up a horse as Drogon. SHE DRESSED UP A HORSE AS DROGON.

Ahem. Also Business Khaleesi:

And emerging-out-of-the-flames Khaleesi:

And of course, plenty of couples were inspired by the pairing between the Mother of Dragons and the King in the North.

Trick or treating, partying…there’s no way these costumes weren’t hits.

As long as we’re on the subject of costumes for kids, get a load of Tiny Tyrion Lannister:

Also normal-sized Tyrion Lannister:

And who could forget Tiny Hodor?

And Tiny season 5-era Daenerys?

And the cutest tiny couple:

There’s also this father and son, who went to Stan Lee’s Los Angeles Comic Con as the Hound and the Pup:

The little guy even won the kid’s cosplay contest. And yes, I know this isn’t technically about Halloween but I don’t care because it’s incredible.

Finally, one dad fashioned a specialized costume for his wheelchair-bound son, per the Atlanta Journal Constitution. This year, he’ll get to cruise around as the Night King on the back of Zombie Viserion:

He’s not the only Knight King on offer. All hail the dark lord of all evil, below:

And in this one, it looks like the Night King has made common cause with the Children of the Forest. Tremble, ye mortals.

"[No Spoilers] White Walkers and Children Of The Forrest came to an understanding on Halloween👻 from gameofthrones"

Actually, it looks like the Night King is making new friends all over the place:

We think those two kids are gonna make it.

Even superstar Jason Derulo got in on the run, dressing up as the Night King to perform at Maxim Magazine’s Halloween party:

Other celebrities got in on the fun, like Khloe Kardashian:

There’a also Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, who went as Daenerys Targaryen and Jaime Lannister respectively:

And where there’s Jaime, there’s Cersei:

Cersei solo, and looking very severe:

"[No Spoilers] My wife’s homemade Cersei costume really puts the others to shame this time from gameofthrones"

She may be thinking of Olenna Tyrell, frustrated she couldn’t whip her through the streets like she’d fantasized in her frequent and spectacularly unhealthy daydreams.

Unfortunately for her, the Queen of Thorns went out on top:

Or she could be thinking of a specter from her past, returned more horrifying than ever:

"[No Spoilers] SHAME! 🔔 SHAME! 🔔 SHAME! 🔔 from gameofthrones"

Elsewhere, we have a few interpretations of the dearly departed Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish:

"[No Spoilers] spent the night making side-eyes at random people from gameofthrones"

It’s one thing to say “Chaos is a ladder.” It’s another thing to be it:

"[No spoilers] Chaos is a ladder. from gameofthrones"

Puns are great, and visual puns are greater still.

Varys showed up, too — this gentlemen shaved his head for the occasion:

@KawandaMaulet put together an excellent Missandei outfit:

We saw a few Jon Snow-Daenerys Targaryen couples costume above. But Brienne and Tormund was also a popular choice:

"[NO SPOILERS] For Halloween my boyfriend and I were Brienne of Tarth and Tormund Giantsbane! from gameofthrones"

As was a blast from Tormund’s past:

"No fooking kneeler costumes here. from freefolk"

Brienne could be seen striking out solo, too:

"My homemade Brienne of Tarth costume: Foam, plasti-dip, placemats, googly eyes, thrift store belts, and paint. from freefolk"

Even all these seasons later, people are still dressing up as Khal Drogo:

"[No Spoilers] homemade Khal Drogo costume. from gameofthrones"

That guy made an impact, man.

Meanwhile, Melisandre took in a ballgame:

Stannis got in on the fun, too — against his will, no doubt.

People dressed up as Arya and Sansa Stark, too, seen below with one of their brothers:

And below, Arya pops up in less expected company:

"[No Spoilers] Arya, Tormund, Brienne of Tarth, and Melisandre from gameofthrones"

And since she can assume the faces of whoever, why not hit two birds with one stone?

@Lady_Stark11 had several choices for her Sansa outfit.

I’m a fan of the season 6-style Lady-of-Winterfell look myself.

Below, Sansa informs Daenerys of who exactly Jon is, and what that means for their private meeting on that boat.

The Daenerys outfit in the photo above was inspired by this, incidentally, if you want one of your own:

Everybody came to this party:

Notice George R.R. Martin in the chair on the left. Even Shireen was there:

Finally, I present: Dogs. As. PEOPLE!

"[NO SPOILERS] The Dragon Queen and her children from gameofthrones"

"[No Spoilers] May I present Khal Dogo from gameofthrones"

"The only remaining houses that matter from freefolk"

Happy Halloween.
