LAST-MINUTE COSTUME IDEAS FOR HALLOWEEN

By CARA HUNT Tribune Features Writer cbrennen@tribunemedia.net

It’s ghost and goblin time this weekend.

But what if you get a last-minute invite to a Halloween party and don’t have time to snag a costume?

Tribune Weekend is here with some quick and easy ideas to help your trick or treating be the spooky season bomb. True, they are a bit silly, but hey, the point is to have fun.

1. Anything Squid Game

It’s the Korean Netflix series that has taken the world by storm and is sure to be a big Halloween favourite. The good thing is that it’s super easy to participate in a Squid Game-themed Halloween. All you really need is a track suit, preferably in white and green, and add a big sticker with a number on it. Bonus marks for ketchup blood. Or be one of the guards with a pink hoodie and black face mask. Use masking tape on the mask to determine if you are a circle, square or triangular.

2. Election Road Fever

This is a super easy as well, all you need is a grey shirt and a pair of pants, add some red and yellow construction paper with the words, ‘It’s a New Day’ or ‘It’s About Your Future’. Attach all of one colour front and back, and bingo, you are now the road dotted with election signs.

3. Operation Game

It’s fairly simple to duplicate this childhood favourite. All you need is a flesh-coloured shirt and maybe some pants. Them grab white construction paper and cut out the various operation shapes and stick them on yourself. Bonus points if you have time to snag a red nose buzzer.

4. The Error Costume

Want to make only the minimal amount of effort while still ticking off the “technically, I have a costume box”?

Consider going as an error message. All you need is a white shirt and a black marker. Write “Error 404 - Costume Not Found” on it and you have a cheeky way to avoid all the Halloween fuss.

Looking for a super quick couple’s costume? Branch out on the T- shirt idea by grabbing one white and one green one. Write the word “Envy” on the white shirt and then when you stand with your green shirt-wearing partner you are ‘Green with Envy’! (get it?)

6. Say You’re Sorry

Another super easy costume may be found right in your closet. Look for a formal gown or suit and add a sash with the word “Apology” on it. Now you’ve said “I’m sorry”, all dressed up… you’re a formal apology!
