3. Carrie:
No, I don't mean Carrie Underwood. More like the Stephen King-created loony. If you have a prom dress lying around that you're not particularly attached to - or one you grabbed at a consignment shop - just throw some red paint or ketchup on it and frizz up your hair a bit and poof! Instant psycho.
2. Spice Girls ('90s edition):
If you've got a group of friends with the appropriate hair colors or hair dye, this is easier than you'd think, and very appropriate with their upcoming comeback and all.
To be Posh Spice all you need is a little black tube dress, some black heels and the ability to never, ever smile.
For Baby Spice just wear a little pink dress (preferably spaghetti strap) and white or pink platforms. And, of course, you'll need to put your hair in pigtails.
To be Ginger Spice you just need a red dress (little, of course) and red or white heels or platforms.
For Sporty Spice you just need a sports bra, some track pants and sneakers, and to be Scary Spice all you need is a cropped tank top, preferably in some sort of animal print, some fitted flare pants, and some platforms. And don't forget the crazy hair.
1. Jesus:
This one's my personal favorite. I mean, who's not down with Jesus? For any of you guys with particularly long brown hair, all you need is a white bed sheet, wrapped up Toga-style and some old sandals and you too can be the Son of God. If you can swing it, a wreath around the head and some facial hair (real or fake) would really complete the look.
So, now that you have some ideas, go find a costume, that old "Monster Mash" tape and the Ouija board that's been shoved in the back of your closet, and have a Happy Halloween!
