4 Simple Halloween Costume Ideas

With the spookiest time of year soon upon us but seemingly so little time to prepare what you need is a costume you can put together in minutes. Here’s 4 of the scariest to choose from, if you dare…

Ghastly Ghost

Everyone loves a ghost costume, and not just because all you really need is an old bed sheet. Cut a couple of eye holes, put some black face paint around your eyes, and then get ready to scare people.

Granted, it might not be all that practical if you’re going to a party. But if you want to jump out at people then it’s a great last minute option. Plus no one can see what you’re doing underneath the sheet so you could hide your phone and play all sorts of ghastly sounds…

Murderous Mummy

The great thing about a mummy costume is that it doesn’t have to be anything resembling neat and tidy. Get plenty of linen strips or bandages and just start wrapping yourself from head to toe. A few safety pins are all you’ll need to stop yourself tripping over the slack as you slowly advance on your scared neighbours!

Deadly Dracula

Get yourself a black cape, throw on some dark trousers and a white shirt and what are you? Just one set of fangs and a bottle of fake blood away from being one of Halloween’s most iconic characters. Ideal if you want to go for a tried and tested approach to scaring people senseless.

The Zombie

Zombie costumes are super easy because all you need is some face paint, scissors, and a pair of old clothes you don’t mind sacrificing. Use the scissors to add plenty of rips to your clothes and then use the face paint to wash out your otherwise glowing tan. Now walk slowly down the road like an extra in The Walking Dead and you’ve got it sorted!
