>  By Ben Nelson

Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning the sexiest skin-baring costumes inspired by TV and film. Mr. Man has put together a collection of sultry Halloween ideas for those looking to turn heads and embrace their inner celebrity this spooky season. Here are some iconic looks from TV and film where less is definitely more, with plenty of inspiration from classic Halloween themes like vampires, pirates and construction workers. Let’s take a peek at how some of Hollywood’s hottest male stars have made these costumes unforgettable.

Vampire: Sam Reid in Interview with the Vampire
When you think Halloween, vampires are a no-brainer. Sam Reid’s portrayal of Lestat in AMC’s Interview with the Vampire brings a seductive twist to this age-old costume idea. Based on Anne Rice’s iconic gothic novel, the series dives into the steamy and complex relationship between vampires Louis and Lestat. In the debut episode, Reid’s intense scene with co-star Jacob Anderson heats up with a passionate kiss that ends in a blood-soaked embrace. For this costume, think sleek black clothing, dramatic collars, pale makeup and of course, just enough skin to channel the raw allure of a vampire who’s both irresistible and dangerous.

Construction Worker: K.J. Apa in Riverdale
Few characters have made construction workers look as sexy as K.J. Apa’s portrayal of Archie Andrews in the CW’s hit show Riverdale. With his rugged looks, shirtless scenes and penchant for carrying tools, Archie Andrews has made the construction worker costume a smoldering favorite. Apa’s grittier version of the iconic Archie comic book character brings this classic costume idea to life with a sexy twist. Grab a hard hat, a tool belt and some low-rise jeans, but leave the shirt behind to channel the steamy construction worker energy from Riverdale. It’s a look that’s both casual and unforgettable.

Pirate: Steve Howey in Shameless
Steve Howey’s portrayal of Kevin in Shameless not only stole hearts but also made pirate costumes sexy again. With his kinky yet lovable character, Howey brought swagger to the pirate look in one memorable costume scene. Pirates have long been a Halloween staple, but with Howey’s irresistible charm, the look takes on a whole new level of sexiness. Think open, flowing shirts, leather accessories and a rugged attitude to sail through the Halloween party as the studliest pirate in the room.

Cop: Lachlan Buchanan in Dynasty
For those who like authority figures, Australian actor Lachlan Buchanan’s portrayal of a cop in the CW’s reboot of Dynasty delivers some serious eye candy. Buchanan, who plays a stripper in a memorable scene where he dresses as a cop and works the pole, has inspired a bold take on the classic police officer costume. All you need is a police hat, a badge and perhaps some handcuffs to make this iconic look sizzle. The more you strip down, the better!

Pilot: Glen Powell in Hit Man
Glen Powell has become a Hollywood heartthrob thanks to his roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You, but it’s his role in Hit Man where he dons a pilot’s hat that gives us a great Halloween costume idea. Whether you’re channeling Powell’s tough-guy persona or adding a playful twist, this is an easy yet sexy costume. A pilot’s uniform—unbuttoned just right—along with the signature hat makes for a sleek and commanding look that’s sure to soar above the competition at any Halloween party.

Firefighter: Jay Hayden and Boris Kodjoe in Station 19
For those who dream of being rescued by a firefighter, look no further than Jay Hayden and Boris Kodjoe’s roles in Station 19. These two actors turned up the heat on the ABC series, making firefighter costumes a go-to for anyone with a fetish for firemen. This look is all about showing off some muscle, so grab those suspenders, a helmet and maybe even a hose (Use your imagination) to complete this smoking hot costume. You’ll have everyone’s alarms going off in no time!

This Halloween, take a cue from your favorite TV and film stars, and remember—sometimes the scariest thing you can wear is too much clothing! Opt for these skin-baring, sultry costumes to make your mark this spooky season.
