TikTok has a funny way of bubbling up the best Halloween trends [1] right on time. Who knew a six-year-old video of Omarion dancing would become the latest dance challenge online? Well, certainly not the former B2K singer, who even had to jump on his own wave [2] after fans and the internet brought it back to life in a resurfaced clip. In case you missed it, a hilarious snippet [3] of the R&B star's peculiar dance moves from his 2015 Verizon's "Now Playing" music tour performance [4] has taken over TikTok. And as Halloween [5] quickly approaches, the challenge just gave a lot of people the perfect idea for a costume. Everyone from TikTokers to celebrities like Kirk Franklin [6] are taking full advantage of this challenge that's sweeping social media — even some infamous Halloween [7] characters are taking part in the viral trend. Check out some of our favorite costumes inspired by the TikTok challenge ahead.
Omarion Halloween Costume
- What to wear: Omarion's standout outfit is a fairly easy costume to replicate. To copy his look, just throw on a long red jacket, a matching red shirt (with white graphics if you can), a pair of distressed denim jeans, and some tan Timberland boots.
Michael Myers Halloween Costume
- What to wear: If you're familiar with the old Halloween movie franchise [8], then you know Michael Myers always wears a simple white mask and dark-blue jumpsuit. For this TikTok challenge, you'll need just that and his signature knife to pull off Omarion's viral dance.
Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees Halloween Costumes
- What to wear: This TikToker went above and beyond the assignment to imitate some of the most infamous scary Halloween [9] characters. For Michael Myers's look, you'll just need to add a long red jacket to the aforementioned list of items. For Freddy Krueger, grab a green-and-red-striped sweater, dark-colored pants, a pair of either brown or black boots, his claw glove, and a brown fedora hat. And last but not least, to be Jason Voorhees, all you need are a black shirt, black jeans, black shoes, a black leather jacket, a mask, and a knife.
