Halloween costumes for the broke and/or lazy.

[pppppppppppppppppp]

Hey guys, while I normally never dress up for Halloween, I just got invited to a Halloween party and apparently, it's absolutely necessary that I show up in a costume.

While I really wanna go to it (for reasons I won't bore you with), I really can't be arsed to go to the store or make something just for one night. What would be a funny, easy costume I could put together with normal clothes and stuff around the house?

Feel free to share costumes you're wearing this year or previous years, especially if they're super easy to do.

Here's something that only requires some pizza.

Spoiler: amazingly cool costume

"Would you like cheese filled crust with that, ma'am?

Go as an STI-they are invisible to the naked eye, mostly symptomless, and may be very itchy or even deadly.

If you wish to further add to the effect, get a red marker, draw circles on your mouth and taa daa, you are a physical representation of herpes.

One from the Adams family: go as a psychopath and you do not need a costume because they look just like everyone else.

Paint the word "ceiling" on your face, carry a big sign with "ceiling" written on it and randomly shout "ceiling! Woooo hooo!", "Nothing beats ceiling!", "Gooooooo CEILING!" at people.

Or wear a mask on the back of your head and say you are a palindrome.

 

[Antitonic]

Just tell people you're a serial killer. Because "you can't tell them apart from regular people. Mostly."

Also, the classic bed sheet-ghost.

 

[Nickompoop]

Write "Book" on your face.

BAM, Facebook costume. Wear all light blue if you want to add to the effect.

 

[Luke5515]

Go as a hipster.
Find some think rim glasses, or 3d glasses and punch out the lenses, get some tight pants, some plaid, and maybe a PBR can.
Might need a little bit of going to the store for that, but it's not too bad.

 

[Steve the Pocket]

Do what I did for a sci-fi party: Put a bathrobe on over your clothes and carry a towel. Boom, instant Arthur Dent costume.

EDIT: Oh, or if you want to do the classic bedsheet ghost thing, cut a bajillion holes in it instead of just the two and presto, you're Charlie Brown!

 

[Athol]

Just tell people you're a serial killer. Because "you can't tell them apart from regular people. Mostly."

That, or take an old cereal box, jam a staek knife in it and go as a 'cereal' killer.

1 large paper bag on your head. (eye holes optional)
2 smaller paper bags on your feet.
2 more paper bags on your hands.

Done!

 

[Best of the 3]

Face paint is always a good idea. It's cheap and easy. If not, blue body paint and white clothes, and hey presto, you're a smurf.

But with facepaint I went as a Pokéball. Took about 3 hours to do but well worth it. And if anyone goes as a pokémon, you'll go great togther.

If not, paper bag?

 

[Rad Party God]

You could dress as a soldier and pretend to be this guy.

 

[SideSlyGuy]

Its cheap, but it does require a little work. I found a box perfect for my head and I'm painting it like a Creeper from Minecraft.

 

[maxmanrules]

A sheet draped over yourself makes a ghost.

Also, get some glycerine and some distilled water. You mix them together and heat it and it makes excellent fog. More ghostliness. (not nitroglycerine, that will kill you)

 

[Cr33dl0rd]

Toilet paper mummy.

 

[BakaSmurf]

Take a cardboard box, punch a hole in the bottom, slide box over head so you are wearing it like a shell, write across front in bold letters:

Spoiler: GUNDAM

You are welcome.

 

[The Gatherer]

Brace your minds for the easiest and cheapest 'costume' ever, courtesy of the great blackadder. Stick a pencil up each nostril and voila, your now a pencil case. Beat that suckas!!
