Title: Quick costume ideas
Post by: billybob476 on October 30, 2008, 09:36:24 AM
Ok folks, despite my general dislike of Halloween, I have been asked to attend some type of Halloween "partying". I require a down and dirty costume that will cost little to no money and I can whip together quickly.

Ideas?

Here are some very easy things to do that shouldn't cost you any money...

Ghost.. just a sheet with some holes.

50's Guy ... blue jeans and white t-shirt, slick back hair, cigarettes rolled up in sleeve

Bum ... shabby clothes, dirty

Nerd/Geek... glasses (with tape in the middle), button down shirt with half hanging out of pants.

Punk Rocker... tease hair, make up, torn clothes.

modern day vampire: Normal clothing and a pair of fangs
Off duty fireman: Normal clothing
Lawyer: Normal clothing
Undercover cop: Normal clothing
Off duty doctor: You should get the point by now

A stereotypical nerd (short pants, taped glasses, hair parted in the middle).
Firefly Brown coat (that's what I'm doing this year...easy peasy)

Go as yourself and use some puffy paint to write  "this is my costume" on a t-shirt.   :)

Great suggestiona all, we'll see what I go with. It's unfortunate I don't like Halloween more.
