Last minute Halloween costume ideas
Halloween is fast approaching. But with midterms and the global pandemic you may have heard about, a costume might be the last thing on your mind. Here are some last-minute Halloween costumes you can make from items already in your closet.
The Morton Salt Lady
What you need: a yellow dress and a black umbrella
You’re already salty. Take it to the next level with this costume.
Jim from “The Office”
What you need: a white button-down shirt and three black dots
Do you want to look like every other man in Utah on Halloween? Be Jim from “The Office.” You’ll have girls all over you this spooky season telling you how many times they’ve watched “The Office.”
Kim Possible
What you need: black shirt, green pants and black gloves
Red hair is not required, but it is encouraged.
A Ceiling Fan
What you need: a white shirt and a sharpie
You’ll have people asking you all night, “What are you supposed to be?” Then watch the light drain from their eyes when you explain the joke.
Gingerbread Man/Woman
What you need: a lot of bread and naturally red hair
Red hair is required for this one. Otherwise, you’re just a bread man, which makes no sense.
Jake From State Farm
What you need: red shirt and khaki pants
What are you wearing, Jake from State Farm?
Cereal Killer
What you need: a box of cereal and a knife
Halloween is the one night of the year where you can carry around a knife and people won’t question it, so take advantage of that with this punny costume.
Cat Fight
What you need: cat ears, boxing gloves and whiskers
Nobody will understand your costume, but that’s okay. You know, and you know that it’s hilarious.
