It’s Halloween, and once again you have no idea what to wear. Whether it’s the annual office costume contest, a friend’s party, or you're just spending a quiet night in with the cat, you’re going to need a scary costume! That’s where we come in. Check out these five costumes anyone can pull together from things on hand.
Murder Hornet
All you need for this scary costume is a yellow sweater, some black slacks, and a big rubber novelty knife. Don’t have a rubber knife? Make one out of cardboard and aluminum foil. You could carry a real knife, but it might put a damper on things if you accidentally stabbed someone.
Ghost
Hear us out! In the olden days, everybody used to walk around with sheets covering their bodies, Halloween or not. But when was the last time you saw someone donning this spooky getup? It’s been a hot sec, right? Now’s the time to bring it back! Just don’t use the good sheets.
Ronald McDonald
Clowns are always scary. But they’re also a little played out. That’s the beauty of Ronald! Not only can you cash in on any lingering coulrophobia (clown fear) but you can also take advantage of people’s fear of processed, high-fat foods.
Taxidermy Head
This one is totally random! Here’s one for making yourself look like a deer-person (which is kind of creepy in and of itself). But you could also just be a human taxidermy head and that could be even creepier. All you need is a piece of cardboard and some scissors!
