Top 10 Last Minute Halloween Costumes

Don't let Halloween sneak up on you! If you want a unique costume but are stuck for ideas, Penta is here to help. We came up with our 10 favorite fast, simple, and inexpensive Halloween costume ideas…

1. Twister board

This easy to do costume involves buying the game twister and making a dress out of the game board. You can Velcro it together at the back and pin it so it stays tight. All night you can ask people to spin the wheel that comes with the board and see if they can play the game on you. You can be as creative as you want with your outfit; accessorize with your shoes, earrings, and bag. It’s a cute and inexpensive way to have a few laughs.

2. Chick Magnet

The easiest way to do this is to wear an all black shirt and buy peeps or rubber chicks and glue them to the shirt. Simple as that- you’re a chick magnet!

3. Amy Winehouse

Anyone can do this costume, it’s quite effortless actually. All you need is a lot of hairspray and eyeliner. Just wear your hair in a beehive, some old raggedy clothing, and millions of fake tattoos; you don’t even need to wear shoes. Everyone will surely recognize you as Amy Winehouse.

4. American Tourist

Probably one of the easiest costumes to pull together, just think of your most embarrassing relative on that last family vacation and dress up as them! Wear a Hawaiian shirt, shorts, socks and sandals, maybe even a straw hat and don’t forget your fanny pack, the camera around your neck and a map. If you want to be a little more creative use makeup and give yourself a bad sunburn.

5. Ugly Betty

Take out all the bright clothing in your closet and piece it together to make an Ugly Betty costume. Use eyeliner to fill in your brows and get a cheap pair of glasses to add to the look. This is the one night you can try to look ugly and get away with it.

6. Static

Going as static can be tough because everyone might cling to you! Wear a solid color and safety pin socks, underwear, dryer sheets, and anything else you can think of to you. It is also a good idea to wear your hair messed up.

7. Cereal Killer

If you have the supplies this is a really quick costume to put together. All you need is little cereal boxes pinned or taped to you, cut slits down the middle and glue plastic knives on top, you can drip red paint down from the slits. Make it your own by adding an empty milk carton somewhere or use a bowl as a hat.

8. Kissing Booth

Write “Kisses only $1” on your shirt and use a cardboard box and cut out a “booth” for your head. You might actually make some money on Halloween with this costume!

9. Ketchup & Mustard

If you and your friend want to do something together that’s easy and inexpensive, this is it! One of you dress in all red and write ketchup on your shirt, one of you dress in all yellow and write mustard on your shirt. This is very simple and costs almost nothing.

10. Partly cloudy with a chance of rain

Get a cheap pair of doctor’s scrubs and glue cotton balls all over them. Bring a squirt gun out with you and there you have it! So simple yet so original!
