Halloween is near, and if you still have not thought of costumes for the upcoming scare-fest, you might be wacking your brains for ideas that can not be beat. Unfortunately, many of us are really busy. As much as we would like to focus on Halloween costume hunting, there's such a thing as real life, and we all have to attend to work, chores, and errands. So when your kids come knocking at your bedroom door begging to get a Halloween costume on the morning of October 31st, you know you're in for it.
Fortunately, you do not have to worry too much, as there are literally hundreds of Halloween costume ideas that you can DIY for yourself or your kids on a short notice. What's great is that you do not even have to break the bank doing it. Here are a few ideas.
1 - The Athlete
Surely you have someone in your family who has played ball. You do not have to be the star quarterback or the pointguard. You just have to look the part. If your kids are into sports, then why not suggest that they go out trick or treating as a team-complete in their athletic uniforms. This also goes for cheerleading attires.
2 - The Ghost
You've seen it in the cartoons, so why not try it in real life. Get an old white sheet and cut out eye holes. You're a ghost! The getup is not complete without moans and groans, so practice your moaning and groaning before midnight. You can add chains for that tormented soul effect.
3 - Ninja
Get a ski mask and wear an all-black attire. If you have a toy sword (or maybe even a decorative sword), then wear it on your belt. Now what makes you a ninja is not only your attire. Try to move stealthily around all day. Move against walls and do not get done in plain sight of people. When you cross the lawn, do not walk. Tumble!
4 - Mad Scientist
Wear an old white lab coat and eyeglasses. For effect, mess up your hair and set it with mousse or gel. Bring test tubes andakers wherever you go. Think of Dr. Emmet Brown from Back to the Future. Now that's a crazy costume idea.
5 - The Backwards Person
Wear your clothes all backwards. Wear your shirt and pants backwards, complete with belt and necktie. You can even wear sunglasses or eyeglasses at the back of your head for effect.
6 - The Corpse
Wear your best formal attire. Make it so formal it would seem you've come straight out of the coffin. Now apply very pale makeup and wear very dark lipstick. Apply thick, black eye shadow. To complete the effect, act the part. Walk slowly-as if you have not used your joints for decades.
If you have not got the time, do not sweat it. You can rummage around your closet and maybe you'll find something that will look scary or novel enough to be your Halloween costume. If you can find an outfit from the 80's, now that's something to scream about:
7 - The 80's Guy or Gal
Sure, the 80's are making a comeback. But the 2010's 80's are different from the real thing. Maybe you still have some leftovers from the past few decades sitting at the bottom of your closet. Wear skinny jeans and a white T-shirt with rolled-up sleeves. Wear high-cut sneakers. Get yourself a thick headband and try to wear your hair as if you had a bullet. If you have long hair, you can curl it like crazy. Bring along a big boombox on your shoulder to complete the effect. Now, that's scary!
