Last minute costume ideas.
4Don't have a costume yet? Don't despair! You can do most of these with stuff you have at home: http://www.sadanduseless.com/2014/10/cheap-halloween/ . I'm partial to 'Identity theft' and 'The Sims".

(Least effort costume) I wasn't going to dress up for the office Halloween party last year, but then decided to that day. I was wearing all black, so I ran over to Radio Shack and grabbed a flashing red LED and a 3v coin battery. Had the LED affixed to the top of my shirt, I was "The Internet".
Loved what Wednesday Adams did one year (the end of the first movie I think) she went as a serial Killer ("they look just like the rest of us)
@Foxborn - That's good! A little like my unabomber costume.
@KDemo Nice, sometimes it's best to keep it simple and in your face LOL
I love this error 404 one!!
@kadagan Me too. And the other - If life hands you melons, you're probably dyslexic.
A friend used a bridesmaid dress and some makeup to be a prom zombie as a last minute costume.
My laziest was a group costume. Our team didn't want to dress up but the VP was encouraging everyone. So we made a walmart run for ID badge holders and printed Initech badges for the team.
@pistol Ha! No TPS reports?
Charlie Sheen - baggie filled with mysterious white powder in front pocket and sunglasses indoors. Add vile of tiger blood for fun.
I went as a roll of bubble wrap a few years back. Ran to target the night of the party, bought a few large rolls, wrapped them around myself. It wound up being the best costume ever!
@all_hail_me I don't think I'd be able to handle all of the people who would pop my costume and/or touch me in the process.
@Thumperchick That was a huge "problem" for me throughout the night.
Grabbed a flannel shirt put on aviators put makeup on my face to give me a 5 o'clock shadow. Went as a truck driver. (odd thing is our company is is distribution, but I was in a rush because we were not going to go to the event until last minute). No one recognized me I work in the offices normally.
I thought The Sims and Ginger Bread Man were pretty dang good.
@Al_Coholic - I'm thinking The Sims is just a headband, and a hobby shop would have 2 Styrofoam cones. Just add wire and glue. I don't usually dress up, but maybe next year.
@KDemo Yeah, the last ten years or so I've gone as "guy who's too lazy to even think of a costume idea, let alone actually dress up as something and leave the house for once".
I donned a jester hat not unlike
And my juggling clubs and a Meh shirt and went as a "Jester of Indifference"
@tightwad Did you turn into an Obscene Jester after a few drinks?
@nadroj It was a church Trunk or Treat party for the kids...so not this time...
