Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

Sunday October 25, 2009
Halloween is just a couple of days away! If you still haven't come up with a costume yet, try one of these easy-peasy costumes that won't require you to shop much further than your own closet:
  • Wear a bathing suit, shorts and flip flops, put a towel around your neck and sunblock on your nose, and go as a lifeguard.
  • Wear your regular clothes, cover your face in grey makeup and spray your hair so it's all messed up, and go as a zombie version of yourself.
  • Make a toga out of a bed sheet and go as an ancient Roman.
  • If you've got a friend with totally different style than you, swap clothes and go as each other.
  • Wear all black, paint a black nose and whiskers on your face and go as a black cat. You can make a simple cat ear headband out of construction paper.
  • Wear your fanciest dress, make a sash out of a strip of white fabric, buy a cheap tiara and go as a beauty queen.
  • Wear torn jeans and a t-shirt, tie a bandana to the end of a stick and go as a hobo.
  • Wear a robe and fuzzy slippers, roll your hair in curlers and go as a housewife.
