Halloween 2025 is still a little ways off, but my boyfriend and I are already in full planning mode for our couple’s costume! If you know us, you know we’re a pair of proud nerds. We love everything from vintage video games to horror movies, and we definitely appreciate a good dose of dark humor.

So, when it comes to Halloween, we don’t just want any old costumes; we want something that reflects our personalities, is comfortable, and ideally, is a little matchy-matchy without being cheesy. Our goal? Chic, nerdy, and perfectly “us.” This year, I’ve been on a mission, and I hit the jackpot with the perfect nerdy t-shirt options for both of us!

I found a brand called Nerdywave.com, and let me tell you, it’s quickly become my new obsession. They specialize in awesome apparel that caters to all things geeky, horror, and a bit on the darker side of humor. What I absolutely love about Nerdywave is their unique aesthetic – everything has this cool, washed, vintage feel that just speaks to my soul. Plus, they offer a fantastic range of sizes, and most of their designs are unisex, meaning it’s super easy to find matching or coordinating pieces for both me and my boyfriend. No more struggling to find couple sizes!

Our Halloween 2025 Wishlist from Nerdywave.com:

1. Pyramid Head Washed T-shirt

First up on our wishlist is the Pyramid Head Washed T-shirt. If you’re a fan of classic horror video games, you’ll instantly recognize this iconic character from Silent Hill. My boyfriend and I are huge horror buffs, and this shirt perfectly captures that eerie, atmospheric vibe we love. 

What’s great is that it’s a single character, but we can each wear one, signaling we’re a pair of Pyramid Heads! It falls into the category of dark humor shirts because, let’s be honest, Pyramid Head is terrifyingly cool. The washed effect gives it that perfectly lived-in, vintage feel that makes it look like we’ve been fans forever.

2. Yesferatu Funny Horror Retro Washed T-shirt

Next on our list is the Yesferatu Funny Horror Retro Washed T-shirt. This one is pure genius! It’s a hilarious mash-up of Nosferatu (another horror classic) with a playful twist. This shirt is right up our alley – it’s spooky, retro, and has that subtle, intelligent humor that we both appreciate. 

We could easily wear these as a coordinating duo, maybe with one of us sporting a more “vampire-esque” accessory. It’s an awesome example of vintage gaming shirts style meets classic horror cinema, and the washed finish just adds to its timeless appeal. This tee would be great for a casual Halloween party or just wearing around town in October.

3. Cereal Killer Washed Hoodie

For a cozier, slightly more subtle Halloween couple’s look, we’re eyeing the Cereal Killer Washed Hoodie. This pun is just too good to pass up! It’s clever, a little bit dark, and universally funny. Imagine us showing up to a Halloween gathering in matching (or coordinating colors) hoodies, each declaring “Cereal Killer.” 

It’s comfy, witty, and perfectly on-brand for us. While not strictly cthulhu shirts design, it definitely has that unsettling yet humorous vibe that Lovecraft fans often enjoy. Plus, a hoodie is always a practical choice for cooler October evenings when we’re out trick-or-treating (or, let’s be real, going to a friend’s house for snacks).

4. The Cat Lady Washed Long-Sleeve T-shirt & Death is Only the Beginning Washed Long-Sleeve T-shirt

Finally, for a slightly less direct but still perfectly coordinated look, we love these two long-sleeve options. I’m a self-proclaimed “cat lady,” so The Cat Lady Washed Long-Sleeve T-shirt is a must-have for me. It’s cute, a bit witchy, and totally my aesthetic. 

For my boyfriend, the “Death is Only the Beginning” Washed Long-Sleeve T-shirt pairs perfectly with my vibe. It’s a classic phrase often associated with mummies or ancient curses, fitting perfectly into the occult shirts category without being overly graphic. Together, these two create a spooky, witchy, and slightly ancient couple’s theme that’s just perfect for Halloween. The washed long-sleeve makes them super comfortable for a full night of festivities.

I’m so excited about these finds from Nerdywave.com! It’s going to be the perfect blend of spooky, funny, and uniquely “us” for Halloween 2025. Now to just decide which combo to go with first!
