Rick Grimes
Another stubbly gunslinger that makes a great Halloween costume is Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead – the ultimate zombie fighting sheriff. All you need is his trusted sheriff’s hat and badge, just watch out for walkers!
Annie Oakley
This little missy is the most classic female icon of the Wild West. So, dressing as Annie Oakley for Halloween always hits the bullseye. Plus, her style is actually quite trendy today, so you can wear it even after Halloween!
