You can be a zombie. Just put a little bit of make up and mess up your hair a little. Then maybe wear some dirty old clothes with some fake blood.

Put paper bag over head, cut out eye holes, write ”<insert local bad team> fan” on it.

Example: Paper bag that says “Lions Fan” on it.

If you have some clothes you don’t care about ruining, you could hot glue sticks to your shirt and pants.

Go into the christmas totes where you keep the garland and ornaments. Wrap yourself in gaudy loud christmas decorations. Put a star on your head and you are a christmas tree.

Pajamas. Free, and quicker than dressing as anything else in the morning.

White sheet = ghost. Quick, pretty much free, and not very imaginative.

I would totally suck as a costumer.

Not sure if you are male or female. Wrap a sheet in the shape of a toga or a goddess-like dress. You can use ribbon for a belt, put a circle of leaves in your hair and wear sandals. Of course, you’ll probably have to wear something underneath.

Go as a sestina. Wear all one color (black is good) and choose six words, then put them in sestina order grouped by stanza. Vary where the stanzas are on your body.

Safety pin two blue bath towels together at the top, poke your head through, put on some white gloves and BAM! You’re Towlie.

You could go as a twin with someone else…if you know someone with similar clothes as you.

Various signs you could wear with regular clothes:

—Unmasked Villain
—Time Traveler from the day before Halloween
—The Doctor’s newest Companion

If you have large headphones (like these) you could go as a Cyberman that didn’t complete it’s conversion process. (It is not really something that most people would get, but for those who do…priceless.)

Sports-inspired outfits are easy to put together if you have access to jerseys or uniforms.

Here are some more (sorry about the music) ideas.

Rainbow bright!
Find a bright colored outfit and gather different colored ribbons and tie them around your arms and lower legs.

80’s
Find that outfit you wore in the 80’s from your closet then put your hair up on the side.

Last year I was a “work in progress.” I wore all white and had people color on me with waterproof washable markers.

The year before that I was a Q-tip. I had to buy a white curly wig, but I wore all white and had white leg warmers.

I put this together with stuff I had lying around the house

Hobos are always good too. Use Vaseline and coffee grinds for a stubbly beard.

White t-shirt and sharpie. Write on the t-shirt “Go ceiling!” Optional foam finger and face paint.

Ceiling fan.
