Dressing up for Halloween isn’t for everyone, but for those who partake in the tradition, it’s usually the best part of spooky season. A lot of rock and metal fans choose to dress up as their favorite musicians for the festivities, so it’s fun to see what the actual musicians dress up as themselves.
You may have already seen that Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox dressed up as Motley Crue‘s Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson over the weekend because it was all over social media. With that, we decided to round up some other costumes rockers have sported in the days leading up to Halloween.
Some of them kept it light and casual, while others went all out. A few musicians took group photos with their bands, others got decked out with their families and friends. Incubus keyboardist Michael Einziger and his family dressed up as the cast from a famous movie based on a Stephen King novel. Dragonforce‘s Herman Li went the extra mile and made a TikTok video to reveal his.
