Brian de Palma's 1983 psychological thriller is another incredible Michelle Pfeiffer performance, and her character Elvira Hancock is the iconic blonde bombshell you'll want to dress up as.

Name a film with a more all-star cast than Witches of Eastwick. We'll wait. All three of the female protagonists, played by Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer, offer up big heads of curly locks and the dreamiest patterned robes you've ever seen. Spooky but so chic.

One of the most copied movie characters as far as Halloween costumes go has got to be Mia Wallace from Quentin Tarantino's infamous drama. But for such good reason. Uma Thurman in that white button-down with her black bob is instantly recognizable.

Even if you're not a proclaimed sci-fi fan, you can appreciate the sleek looks from The Matrix.

If you're committed to keeping your Halloween costume as trend-forward as possible, this look is for you.

Who wouldn't want to be Winona Ryder if one could? But seriously, her no-cares-given teenage naïvete is almost more iconic than her achingly '80s wardrobe in the film. Pulling off her look is all about strong-shouldered blazers and pastel scrunchies with a hefty serving of angst.
