- This article is about the costumes that the Homestar Runner characters wear in Halloween toons. For Strong Bad's annual commentary on fans' costumes, see Fan Costumes.
In Halloween toons, the main characters dress in unique Halloween costumes, usually of pop-culture icons and celebrities, to celebrate the holiday. These costumes are generally "vintage", in that they frequently are based on figures who were most popular from the 1970s through the '90s. This obscurity regularly causes confusion among the characters. It is uncertain if this is done deliberately to give the cartoons a more "timeless" feel or a simple stylistic choice.
Minor characters have also appeared wearing Halloween costumes. The main cast has been seen wearing different, simpler costumes in Big Toon cold opens or in other Halloween toons. In the silhouetted teaser lineups, Strong Bad is always seen wearing an elaborate and recognizable sci-fi or horror costume different from what he wears in the actual toon. Rejected costume ideas have been shared in the Sketchbook and various Easter eggs.

[edit] Character trends
Some characters repeatedly wear costumes that follow a theme:
- For the first few years of costumes, Homestar Runner tended to dress up as "some kind of figurehead", like a band's frontman, as observed in an interview.
- Coach Z always dresses up as a hip hop icon (occasionally cross-dressing). When dressed as a character generally not considered related to hip hop, he provides an explanation of how they are related to hip hop culture.
- The Cheat often dresses up as a cartoon character.
- The Poopsmith typically dresses up as a science fiction character.
- The King of Town often dresses up as a food mascot or character otherwise relating to or made up of food. Occasionally, he will imply that he eats what he is dressed up as even if it is not typically considered edible.
- Marzipan occasionally dresses up as a musician (often cross-dressing to do so).
Other characters tend to dress up as something that suits their body type, such as Strong Mad portraying formidable people or square-shaped icons.
