Clue Characters Group Halloween Costume

This year for Halloween, The Harris Sisters are paying homage to one of our favorite board games growing up: Clue. The characters from this game present the perfect opportunity for a group Halloween costume. With six different characters from the board game, we each decided to dress up as two characters to represent the full set. But if you have a larger group, you can divvy up the characters among yourselves.

Can you spot who's who in our sneaky group?

Clue Character Group Halloween Costumes

First off, we have Harris Sister Deanna as Colonel Mustard in the Lounge with the rope. This costume was easy to create with pieces from your closet or Goodwill. It includes a yellow top and pants, a military-style jacket, and tall boots. Top it off with a costume pith helmet and you're all set!

"While rope might not be most people's first choice for defense, with my military and tactical training, I know at least 12 different ways to turn this everyday item into a highly effective weapon."

Next up we have Harris Sister Misty as Mr. Green in the Hall with the lead pipe. The main pieces of this costume are a green vest, cape, and a cravat or an ascot (scarf). Pair those pieces with a pair of black pants and a white button down shirt and you have the main pieces of your costume.

"If need be, I can conceal this pipe in my cape . . . "

Of course, Harris Sister Donna is Professor Plum in the Library with the knife. The main parts of this costume were a 1940's style purple dress and matching purple heels. 

"Choosing a book, or choosing a weapon? Hmmmm . . . . decisions, decisions . . . "

Then there's Harris Sister Deanna as Miss Scarlett in the Ballroom with the candlestick. Of course, no Miss Scarlett costume would be complete without a red evening gown, red gloves, and fascinator. Top off the look with a red wig, and your character is complete. 

"Don't you think the gold candlestick matches my outfit perfectly? Shhh . . . I'll never tell!"

And there's Harris Sister Donna as Mrs. White in the Kitchen with the wrench. Mrs. White's costume is a black vintage style dress with a white maid's apron over top. Complete the look with a black wig and a maid's hairband. 

"Seems like someone already made off with the knife, so this wrench will do nicely!"

And finally, Harris Sister Misty was Mrs. Peacock in the Conservatory with the revolver. Transform yourself into Mrs. Peacock with a bright blue 1940's style dress, a jeweled belt, black gloves, a peacock scarf, and costume jewelry.

"A gal's gotta protect herself."

Clue Themed Halloween Party Decor and Props

If you're throwing a Halloween party and asking guests to dress as the Clue board game characters, make sure to have props for guests to take photos with. Some good options for photo props include vintage Clue board game pieces, "weapons" from the game, martini glasses filled with dice, or life-sized dice. Harris Sister Misty had her husband construct two large cubes from plywood and then painted them white. We then added black felt dots to make them look like a giant pair of dice.

Happy Halloween from The Harris Sisters!
