Halloween costume ideas

[SomeBritishDude]

Me and a bunch of my student mates are heading out to a halloween themed club night on tuesday and everyone is dressing up. But I haven't even begun to think about what I'm going to go as.

So, I need something cheap (student budget) and easy (student mentality) that I can wear for a long period in a hot sweaty dark room under the influence of alcohol. I'd rather not pull a sheet over my head and go 'Woo' at people if I can help it. Movie character might also be fun, though I'm not picky.

Alternatively if you have a neat idea for a costume that doesn't fit my needs post it up anyway. It's nice to hear ideas and I may have a go if it's captures my imagination anyway, or someone else might use it.

Well, there's dressing up as the Crow, but that only works if you're hawt. Still, great potential for simplicity. One would at least need a black long-sleeve, black pants, black work boots, and black and white facepaint. Still, once again, the secret ingredient is hawtness.

I was going to do Nixon's head on benders body, then I realised I would have to be out with my Uni mates, then I realised after defering out a year I have no Uni mates so no-one would get the costume.

I was sad, because I thought it would be a really good idea.

Using a hoodie, jean's, some masking tape around your arms and legs and a bit of ketchup, you can become the "Hunter" from L4D.

I mean, that's what I gonna do on Halloween.

Dude, go as evil you. Simplest costume there is: Grow a goatee.

Free, and clever. Although, you might look like a douche, but it may be worth it.

*Note: This costume may only work with friends who know you don't usually have a goatee.

I'm going to a Halloween party as the almighty Liquor Fairy.

Got myself a Jameson T-shirt & plastic medallion from a free sample lady some years ago, maybe a fishnet shirt under that for kicks. Add some of those elastic strap-on fairy wings and a cheap plastic wand & I'm good to go. Oh, and a bag filled with booze. Of course.

I was thinking about replacing the plastic wand with a flask attached to the end of a dowel, maybe roll the whole mess in glue & glitter. An idea for you if you want to become your own liquor fairy, but I think probably too much work for me this year. Maybe next.

Edit: I also considered going as "evil me" by shaving OFF my goatee, but the GF made threats should I lose it, so not happening
