Don't Be Yourself

Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

You know what was truly a fright last Halloween? Seeing a sexy Sarah Palin on every block.

This year, opt for something a little more original and a little less hockey MILF (but perhaps equally as creepy). And no, Balloon Boy isn’t what we’re getting at.

In today’s video, we show you five easy DIY costumes that you can make in less than ten minutes: a cereal killer, little white lies, swine flu (sorry, couldn’t resist), a chick in a box, and — get this — a Kraft single (you know we’d never pass up a chance to be cheesy).

The best part: You won’t need to stand in line at a Halloween superstore (which can be a scary sight on its own) for any of the above.

You’re a maverick in disguise.


For more detailed descriptions on how to make each costume, check out our photo gallery.

Two more ideas! Last week I went to a party as the weather. I taped a few cotton balls to a black sweater and took a spray bottle of water. When people asked me what I was, I said "Partly cloudy, w/ a chance of rain" and I sprayed them! Tomorrow night, I will be wearing a big capital letter B, made from yellow posterboard, hanging around my neck like a giant neclace. I put some fake blood on it and I will carry a fake butcher knife because I am a "Killer Bee"!
