Silly, Cheap and Easy Halloween Costumes

Six Halloween Costumes that are Easy and Fun

Halloween is a time for imagination and fun. It is not only the night of the 31^st of October, when our children go "Trick or Treat" around the neighborhood, or when we open our door to the little scary solicitors who admire the decorative display we have in our front yards. Halloween is also about the fun of the preparation, the elaboration of the most fun, scarier or original costumes. We can opt to buy the most fashionable costume of the year, normally the characters of the last box office hit movies, or we can take our time and think about a homemade Halloween costume. With a little imagination, we can make a very cheap silly costume, for one person or for a group. These silly costumes are very funny, and they only require imagination and very little money. They are perfect if we have to attend to a last minute Halloween costume party.

Yahoo Emoticons group costume: for this fun group costume we only need cardboard, paint, tape and three or four poster sheets. We cut the cardboard in circles of about 20'' of diameter. We paint them in yellow, and we draw the emoticons faces with different expressions. We cut the poster sheets in long rectangles, and we tape their both extremes in the back of the faces, so we can slide our arms inside them. We can make this group costume even easier if we use yellow cardboard or poster for the whole faces, instead of paint them.

The girl of "The Exorcist": For this scary costume that never gets old, we only need a sleeping gown, a wig if our natural hair is short, green food color and make up. We have to wear the gown backwards and splash the green food color on its front. We should apply in our face white make up, paint dark circles under the eyes, use brown eye liner to paint over our lips and drop some of the green food color over our chin. The wig must look uncombed and all over our face.
