Last minute halloween costumes, If college students can procrastinate on important tasks such as writing a midterm paper or completing a class project, then figuring out a Halloween costume should be no problem.
Here are some last-minute, do-it-yourself costume ideas.
APPARENTLY KID
If you don’t know who the “Apparently Kid” is, then you apparently need to watch the video to understand just how adorable he is. To pull off this costume, wear an oversized striped polo shirt with dark-colored shorts or pants. Don’t forget to frequently interject the word “apparently” into your sentences. Bonus points if you carry around a microphone and mention how you have apparently never been on live television before.
CEREAL KILLER
What’s more frightening than being a slayer of a popular breakfast food? For this costume, you’ll need to make a single prop by stabbing either a butter knife or toy dagger through a box of cereal. For a more dramatic effect, you can splash fake blood onto the box and yourself. Special apparel isn’t required because a cereal killer often looks like a normal person — which is why they’re so disturbing.
A PIZZA DELIVERY PERSON
This costume guarantees you instant popularity — that is, until all the pizza runs out. Just hold a pizza box (preferably with a pizza in it) and throw on a red polo shirt and cap as well as jeans or slacks. When you arrive to a party, remember to stay in character by ringing the doorbell before entering. Also, make sure to bring extra packets of Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
50 SHADES OF GREY
No, you don’t need whips and chains for this costume. Hit up Home Depot and take several of the free paint color samples featuring different shades of grey. Tape the samples to yourself with duct tape and you’ve become a play on words. Alternatively, if you have a farmer’s tan or absurdly uneven tan lines, you can use masking tape to attach multiple tones of brown paint color samples to yourself for a “50 shades of tan” costume.
THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR
This is the perfect throwback Halloween costume for gluttons. Dress yourself from neck to toe in green colored garments and sport a red beanie or hat. Munch on all the food you can lay your hands on and never stop chewing. You must live up to that insect’s ravenous reputation.
THE MUFFIN MAN
Do you know the man with the scrumptious bread products? You know, the one who dwells on Drury Lane? Nursery rhyme aside, this costume doesn’t call for special garments, but you can don an apron or chef’s hat if you want. A box of muffins is a must, though.
ONE DIRECTION
You bear little to no resemblance to Harry Styles? No problem! The essential materials for this costume are a print-out of a “one way” sign and tape. Simply wear any clothing you desire and stick the sign onto yourself. If anyone gives you sass about your “road sign” costume, casually roll your eyes and quote some One Direction lyrics to clue them in.
