Halloween is coming up. Is your costume ready? If not, check out some of these last minute Halloween costume ideas that are fast, easy and cheap:
A Tourist
This is an easy costume to put together quickly. Find a Hawaiian shirt or touristy T-shirt. Put on some shorts and flip flops as well as a floppy beach hat. Grab a beach bag with a rolled up beach towel and put tourist maps or guide books inside. Sling a pair of binoculars over your neck. Carry your camera and sunglasses, and you’re read to go. If you’re really ambitious, add white costume makeup on your nose to simulate sunscreen.
A Piece of Bubblegum Stuck to a Shoe
This idea comes from my teen years when a friend of mine dressed up as a piece of gum stuck to a shoe for Halloween one year. Dress in pink (or the gum flavor color of your choice) and tie a shoe to your head.
Dirty Laundry
Cut a hole in a laundry basket so it fits around your waist. Fill it with clothes (particularly old or stained clothes). Voila! You’re a basket of dirty laundry. You could also use a laundry bag instead of a basket.
A Body Cast
Dress in all white. Carry magic markers with you so people can sign “the cast.”
A Chocolate Chip Cookie
Dress in brown. Cut out black circles from construction paper and pin them all over your clothes.

Not bad. I like these pop culture costumes from The Rundown too…
Especially, Frankenstein McCain and Fonzie Obama.
Scott, Excellent reference to a classic Saturday Night Live skit. Thanks for the laugh!
As a last resort you can create your own Irwin Mainway, Johnny Space Commander mask and put a plastic bag over your head with a rubber band to keep it in place.
