By Amanda Krause from Business Insider
The most popular Halloween costumes change every year, but Disney-character getups are always on the list.
This year is no different. Both Edna Mode and the Avengers characters have already been listed as some of the most common costumes of 2018, and makeup artists on Instagram have proven that Disney princess looks will remain as popular as ever.
But for dedicated Disney fans, classic character costumes can be a bit tired. For those looking for more unique options, we’ve rounded up 21 underrated Disney costumes to try on Halloween.
