Halloween on a Budget

Halloween, Volume 1: Late October

By Kimy Canido

Low in cash? Need a costume for Halloween? Here are some Halloween costumes that are very simple and won’t leave you broke in the end.

A Ghost (it’s a classic!)
You’ll need:
➢ A big long white fabric (maybe a bed sheet or a table cloth)
➢ Scissors
➢ A marker

1.) Put the cloth over you or a helper and use the marker to trace out where your eyes are.
2.) Take of the cloth and start cutting out holes for your eyes.
3.) Place it onto the wearer and don’t forget to say “BOO” every once in a while.

An Egg
You’ll need:
➢ A big long white fabric (just like the Ghost costume)
➢ Scissors
➢ A marker
➢ Cheap Halloween make-up kits

1.) Just like the Ghost, put the cloth over you or a helper and use the marker to trace out the whole face.
2.) Take of the cloth and start cutting out the big hole for the face.
3.) Place it onto the wearer and start putting yellow Halloween make-up all over the wearer’s face. Yum!

A Nerd
You’ll need:
➢ A outgrown button up shirt
➢ Outgrown pants
➢ Glasses
➢ A piece of tape
➢ Gel
➢ A big heavy book

1.) Put on the outgrown shirt and pants.
2.) Put the piece of tape on the middle rim of the glasses. Then place them on. (If you have glasses that you can’t see in, it’s highly recommended you shouldn’t wear them. And you can also poke out the lenses.)
3.) Slick back your hair with lots of gel.
4.) And just carry around the book.
5.) And also… this is not a way to insult people, so be discreet about other people’s feelings.

A Tourist
You’ll need:
➢ A button up shirt that has a floral or Hawaiian pattern.
➢ Shorts
➢ A camera
➢ A map

1.) Put on the button up shirt and the shorts.
2.) Hold the camera in your hands at all times and pretend to take pictures, and every now and then ask people for directions on the map. Be very annoying, as much as possible.

A Goth
You’ll need:
➢ All black clothes
➢ Black make-up (Black lip stick, if you want to push further)
➢ Black nail polish
➢ A cross necklace
➢ Temporary Black hair color spray (also another addition if you want to push further)

1.) Put on all the black clothes.
2.) Put Black make-up on your eyes, and lips.
3.) Paint nails black
4.) Put on the cross necklace.
5.) And finally spray all hair black.
6.) This is just a costume, not a way to make fun of other people. Please only use these ideas for the love of Halloween costumes.

A Model
You’ll need:
➢ Pretty, fancy clothes. (maybe a pretty dress, or a really nice out fit.)
➢ Full make-up job

1.) Of course put on all the clothes, make sure it’s a good outfit or dress.
2.) Put on a full make-up job.
3.) Throughout the whole day smile, wave, pose, and of course, talk about how you just got plastic surgery lately.
