Last Minute Halloween Costume!?

[Blaze]

So...Halloween is tomorrow, and I made the mistake of not getting a costume thinking I'd be stuck at work. Turns out I am now going out....Help friends! I don't know what do wear and don't have time to go out and pick a costume! Any ideas?

I seem to remember seeing a post about last-minute Halloween costumes on Buzzfeed last week, there may be some ideas there. Alternatively, you can make a passable ninja costume out of a couple of dark t-shirts (also required: dark trousers and shoes, obvs.) you should be able to find instructions for that by googling it. Failing that, a set of fangs should be easy enough to obtain. Throw in some artfully applied make-up and you've got yourself a vampire costume without having to go and get specific clothing.
Finally, you could just wear normal clothes and say you're a serial killer, a la Wednesday from the Addams Family movie.

You could always take a leaf out of Oz's book and wear a stick on ID tag labelled "God."

Or, get a superhero Tee shirt (your choice) and wear it under a partially unbuttoned shirt as the Superhero's secret identity.

I totally know how you feel. I didn't get a costume cause I have to work, but I was told yesterday that I can dress up at work. But I don't have anything either. I guess it depends on what you got at home. I like the name tag idea. You could be an 80's pop/rockstar if you wear bright colors and do your hair and makeup big and flashy. Nvm that's a terrible look, don't do that. lol

Making a zombie costume is pretty easy. Old, ripped clothes- some liberally applied make-up to make you paler/dead-like, and something that could pass for blood when dry that you can smear on clothes/exposed skin.

Either that- or get a mask from any costume shop and go as a serial killer/slasher type.

Good idea guys! I'm going shopping later on so I'll try to make up something easy and cheap. I might do the zombie thing, but a Canadian zombie...it just snowed 15cm today! That limits my costume choice even more! lol
