Hiya!
You were invited to a costume party a while back but you plain forgot. You just remembered but, guess what? It’s the night before Halloween, precisely when the party is happening! You can go to the store and buy a costume and call it a day. Why do that when you just might have the necessary items to cobble together a decent costume with some of the odds and eds lying around your home!
So, in the spirit of trying to conjure something up for Halloween, here are 5 last minute costumes you might be able to put together!
James Sunderland or Maria from Silent Hill 2 Remake
So, Silent Hill 2 Remake is a big hit so it just seems like this is a perfect time to draw some costume inspiration from the game. While you can try to make something super intricate like Pyramid Head if you have some arts and crafts skills. I do have to remind you, however, that you hardly have any time. So, why not go out as either James Sunderland or Maria?
Obviously, if you’re a guy, you’d go out as James Sunderland and, if you have an oversized green jacket and a flashlight, you’re pretty much good to go! Bonus points if you carry around a lead pipe! If you’re a girl, you do have to do a little more work to go out as Maria. Still, the outfit is pretty simple. You would need some kind of red jacket and a black miniskirt if you’re going by the Remake. Oh, don’t forget the leather boots!
If you don’t, well, you might try your luck with the OG Maria costume. You would need a red long sleeved sweater and her weird pink leopard print miniskirt. If you were a wild gal who grew up in the ’90s, you might have that rolled up in your closet somewhere! Of course, the boots are still essential. Bonus points if you’re a married couple and you go out as both James Sunderland and Maria!
We’ve been putting list regarding last minute costume ideas for Halloween for a while now. So, I guess we feel like colossal idiots as we never thought of putting Agent 007 here!
This is probably one of the easiest costumes to put together because most adult males should have one proper suit in their closet, right? If you don’t, well, go get one because you never know when you’re going to need to look dapper. Even if you don’t, you still most probably know someone who owns a good suit. So, just for Halloween, borrow it from them!
Still, just having a suit won’t automatically make onlookers think you’re James Bond. So, you gotta complete the look by accessorizing with stuff like maybe a martini glass or maybe a toy pistol (make sure it looks like a toy pistol) to give you that secret agent vibe.
Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar from Wayne’s World
Just in case the entire James Bond thing doesn’t work because you don’t even have a friend who owns a decent suit, never fear! Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar from Wayne’s World is here!
Getting the proper look from Wayne and Garth should be pretty easy if you are indeed the type of guy who doesn’t own a suit! For Wayne, you’ll just need a black t-shirt, ripped jeans and a black baseball cap. I’m also assuming you haven’t had a haircut for a while, you non-suit owning neanderthal. So, yeah. Just dye your hair black and you can even use the same hair coloring on the baseball cap it it’s not black!
For Garth, find your vintage plaid shirt, a shirt with your favorite band’s logo on it and, once again, ripped jeans. To complete the look, you do need some really thick framed glasses, which shouldn’t be too hard to find. You do have a nerdy friend, don’t you?
Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable from Kim Possible
When the sitch is you don’t have a costume for Halloween.
So far, most of the costume ideas have been for guys. To balance it out a little, I just had to find an easy DIY costume for the ladies… and their boyfriend? Anyway, dressing up as Kim Possible is pretty easy as long as you don’t mind showing your belly button. All you’d need it a tight fitting black turtleneck sweater that shows off your midriff, black gloves, baggy green cargo pants and an overside belt. This is perfect if you’re a redhead as well.
For Ron Stoppable, you’d need pretty much the same stuff: black turtleneck sweater, black gloves, baggy green cargo pants and an oversized belt. Thankfully, you can cover up your beer belly as you don’t need to show your midriff for Ron. You can go the extra mile by getting a sock puppet to simulate Rufus and stuffing it into one of the pockets of your cargo pants.
I still had to add one more costume for the ladies out there and I do feel pretty stupid for never suggesting going out as Mistly from Pokemon. That’s because this was one of my last-minute costumes I put together when I was a kid!
Putting together a Misty costume couldn’t be any simpler as a child can do it… and I did so many years ago! All you’d need is a yellow sleeveless shirt, red suspenders and short jean shorts. You also have to tie your hair to one side of your head as well.
To really hammer the look home, you do need to accessorize a bit, which shouldn’t be a problem if you were into Pokemon. If you were, you’d probably have a stuffed Pikachu or other Pokemon doll somewhere in your closet. If you don’t, find yourself a volleyball and paint one side red and color a black stripe in the middle. Voila! You just made yourself a Pokeball!
BONUS: A homicidal maniac
If you can scrouge up a costume, then just dress up like a normal person. After all, as Wednesday Addams plainly put it, they do dress up like regular people.
Sure, you’ll probably get tired of explaining your costume to those silly normal people. That fine, though. You’ll get them later when they least expect it.
Byee!
