Halloween is in a while but I want to figure out what I’m going to be soon. Each year my school has a annual Halloween dance.Last year I was a Celtics player- it was cheap and something easy to put together.Ideally I’d like to be able to make a cheap and easy costume again because I’m only wearing it once.
P.s: I’m 15 & a white sheet with holes for eye’s isn’t going to cut it this year ; )

My brother was a bag of leaves one year.
dark garbage bag + dark sunglasses = blind date
A homicidal maniac, they look like everyone else.

Works if you’re gay…
or a Care Bear
Rubik’s cube. Get a large square box (cube) and cut out and tape different color construction paper squares.
Might be hard to dance with girls if you’re dressed as something bulky. Although I like the Rubik’s cube idea because it reminds me of my Cheerios box costume when I was 10!
What is your goal at this dance? Do you want to be unique? Make a certain impression? Or do you just need any acceptable, cheap idea in order to go to the dance? Will you be dancing, or is it ok for the costume to inhibit movement? Those are some things to think about that might help you decide what to dress up as.
Vampires are hot right now, and, let’s face it, vampires are, well….hot. Dress in black, get a cheap cape and some plastic fangs. Slick your hair back. You’ll have an excuse to nibble on a girl’s neck. Is that bad to suggest to a 15 year old?
Borrow a suit from you dad, have your best friend also borrow a suit from his dad, throw on some sunglasses, and go as the Blues Brothers.
Dress like Kanye and have your date dress like Taylor Swift. Spend the night interrupting her constantly and announcing that another girl’s costume is better than hers. Maybe make sure she’s ok with that first.
@ubersiren I saw something similar last year, a group of people were dressed up like tetris pieces. All different colors, made out of cardboard boxes. It was very cool.
Butcher knife through a box of cereal (just carry it around) Cereal Killer
walk through your local second hand shop. go from there, put things together. add a wig. its easy.
Kermit the Frog. If you go as a couple, you can go as Kermit/Miss Piggy
Wear a woman’s slip with the word “Freud” written on it in big letters—Freudian Slip
If you’re a guy the trench coat with a spedo under it, shirt and tie (cut short) and cut the legs off at the knee and tape the legs on only). When people ask what you are open your coat and yell Flasher
Find a giant t-shirt and paint a costume person on it similar to these.
I like the whole thrift store idea, but it’s Halloween, who cares what you go as. One year, I got a wedding dress from the thrift store, and I made myself look like I was a Military Vampire Zombie Bride from Hell. That’s what I called it. So I had fun. It is the one night of the year that you can be something you’re not. Take full advantage of that.

Or spring for the 15 bucks and buy one of ‘em.
Get a flat stone and tape it to the front of your shirt with clear Duct tape. Then print out a picture of some kids taking a standardized test, or Someone climbing a cliff, and attach it to the back of the shirt: Between a rock and a hard place.
My little brother is going as this guy. The ninjy cape I found was 7 bucks, a kid’s vampire cape.
Ain’t much call for a one legged ninja out there.
I went as a pimp last year. I got a scream-type robe and split it down the middle and cut off the raggedy bits and glued some zebra fabric onto it as cuffs and a collar and all. Add a hat (that can be a mobster next year or whatever) and a stick (mine was black plastic with tin foil on it) and whatever you think someone wears under that (since I’m a girl, corset, skirt, hooker boots) and you’re set.
I’m helping my sister get her costume ready. We decided that she was going to be a dog this year, so we have the shirt and pants, $8 Goodwill and some craft paint to make the spots. We’ll be working on that this weekend.
I second @MissAusten. Make sure your costume won’t get in the way of any shot you have at macking on the girls. I advise against any costume that will keep the ladies beyond your physical grasp. For instance, best not dress up as a mercury atom or she’ll never get past your outer valence, and there will be no chemistry.
