In this guide to funny Halloween costume ideas, you’ll learn how to make a easy and funny outfit at the last minute, one that’s a bit more elaborate, and even one for a babe in arms, so read on!

Pillow Fight!
Some funny Halloween costume ideas are perfect for throwing something together at the last minute. The pillow fight is ideal if you need a costume in just a few minutes and don’t have time to go shopping. All you need is your favorite pair of pajamas, an old, worn-out feather pillow, a pillowcase, some safety pins, clear packing tape, and a bit of makeup. You will need to completely destroy the pillow, but this funny Halloween costume idea is well worth the sacrifice. Throw on your pajamas, then rip open the top of the pillow. Grab a bunch of feathers, and attach them to your pajamas with the tape. Once you’re pretty well covered in feathers, pin the battered pillow to your shirt. Now, get out your makeup kit and draw on a nasty black eye. Congratulations, you’re a pillow fight! This is one of the best funny Halloween costume ideas for a group to do— if you can get your whole family in on the act, you’ll make quite a splash as a huge pillow fight! To complete the effect, carry a pillowcase as your purse, and have the kids carry pillowcases as their trick or treat bags.

Takeaways
  • A pillow fight is a great and funny last minute costume, and works great for a group!
  • For a more elaborate funny costume that can go over the top or understated, try a cinema floor!
  • For a baby or an adventurous larger person, throw on a bunch of tin foil, and call 'em a spud!

Nice ideas. They sound very economical to make, and I'm sure they'd be a hoot.
