With Halloween just around the corner, many are beginning their intense search for the perfect Halloween costume. You’re in luck! Here are some fun yet deadpan costume ideas that will have everyone talking.*
*No guarantees on what everyone will be saying, but rest assured they will talking about you.
1. The Sexy Ghost
A twist on an old favorite. Throw on the white sheet, draw a ghost face on it, and slip some sexy lingerie over it. Bam! You’re now the life of the party. This costume is unisex friendly and 98 percent vegan.
2. The Three-Hole Sheet of Paper
This costume is so easy to put together you’re probably already wearing ¾ of it right now. First, put on a white shirt. Then cut out three circles from black construction paper, and tape them an even space apart from each other in a vertical line on your left side.
(Putting the circles on the left side is critical for this costume to be factually accurate.)
3. GT Wi-Fi
A local crowd pleaser. All this costume requires is a white shirt with the words “Unable to join the network” written in sharpie on the front. That’s it. Be prepared for some intense halfhearted chuckles.
4. Identity Thief
This one requires a small amount of effort. If you don’t happen to have a pack of name tags in your possession, you will have to buy them and then think of as many average American names as possible to write on them. Once you’ve got all your name tags filled out, simply stick them all over yourself and Voila! Mediocrity at its finest.
5. Life
This is a fun costume to put your own unique spin on!
Carry around a bag of lemons and make sure you have a shirt or other article of clothing that says “Life” on it. The rest is up to you. How philosophical.
6. Facebook
As seen on TV! This costume made an appearance on "The Office", with Jim Halpert at the annual costume party—so you know it’s a goodie. Write the word "book" on your face. So millennial. So cutting edge.
7. The Breadwinner
After purchasing a plastic medal and a loaf of bread, this costume should put you in the hole about $4.32 exactly if you do it right. Not to mention your costume doubles as a snack. What more could you ask for?
8. The Iron Chef
This punny costume requires a plain apron with the Atomic Symbol for Iron (it’s Fe, as I’m sure you are all aware). You can even bring a spatula with you for extra kicks. That’s up to you to decide if it’s a cooking utensil kind of party.
