Halloween costume ideas for a cheap, lazy person?

Asked by nisse (1986points) October 16th, 2009

I need to come up with a good halloween costume. Preferrably somewhat cheap (no store links please, only household items or things you can get at a thrift store). I’d like it to be somewhat cool/funny, and for a guy aged 27 medium length and medium build.

I’ve already done Builder and Cowboy, and Ninja.

Well, I saw someone pass himself off as 5-card stud by sticking 5 winning cards in his bikini drawers.

That’s all he was wearing.

Cut leg holes in a sheet, stuff it with whatever, tie it around your neck and go as a bag of dirty laundry!

@rooeytoo, @prude
A bit too cheap i think, i dont want people thinking “hobo” on the party, ty for suggestions though.

@jeruba
Nice idea but probably freezing out so i’d prefer something more covering ;).

Wear a clear plastic bag filled with balloons: Jellybeans!

If you have a friend in the military, just borrow their costume and some sunglasses! You’d look great no matter what ;) or you can always borrow your sister’s dress and shoes and play barbie… haha

Put a bag over your head and call yourself a blind date.

You could wear a ski outfit, put evergreen leaves in all your pockets and go as Sonny Bono. Yeah, dated I know, but at least you’d be warm.

Wear a hunting jacket, camo pants, carry a fake shotgun, paint red dots all over your face, and go as Judge Sullivan. The man Dick Cheney shot in the face.

A sheet with eye holes cut in it and a pillow case with a rock in it; you can be Charlie Brown.

Go as yourself: a cheap, lazy person.

Ok then, put a tear in your shirt.

And some salsa and mustard stains on it.

A hip suit and fangs? You can be a Twilight vampire. Or a lawyer.

You could always do “Hobo Chic” from Mugatu’s new “Derelict” Campaign. Very cheap, and lazy.

Just do what all the girls do—dress as slutty as possible and put some cat ears on. Everybody’s ok when they do it…

Purple balloons taped to your body = grapes

Get a name tag sticker that says “Hello. My name is GOD.” or Gandhi, or Cher or someone else you don’t resemble.

when all else fails, go as micheal Jackson. white glove, buy a corny pleather jacket and some tight black pants from your local thrift store, and carry around a little boy doll… you’ll get laughs, and the whole package won’t cost more than 75 bucks or so.

@aboynamedboobs03
Jackson is not really my style.. Vampire, lawyer, army guy has been best so far..

Ty for all the suggestions though :)

Toss on a robe, go as the Dalai.That’s what I’d do ;-)

Wear only roller skates and go as a pull toy.

proXXi's avatar

Pull toy! yes! tie the lead to your test results.

Get a military camoflage uniform. Wear the pants. Have a girl you know wear the top.
Go to the party as Upper and Lower G.I.

prude's avatar
