Unique & Original Halloween Costume Ideas
Frank Einstein
Get a Frankenstein mask and attach an Albert Einstein wig, spray the wig with green haircolor, wear a lab coat with pocket protector, pens, etc.
Substitute Teacher
Dress conservatively like a teacher (hair up in a bun, skirt and sweater, glasses on a chain around your neck). Then, stick a paper airplane in the back of your hair, put a note that says "Kick Me" on your back, cover your hands and face with chalk, and put chalk eraser prints on your clothes. Attach staples and paperclips to your clothes, with broken pencils sticking out here and there.
Grim Rapper
Wear a grim reaper costume, but accessorize with baggy pants, gold teeth, thick gold chains and a radio on your shoulder.
Cat with Litter Box
Dress like a cat (black clothes, cat ears and tail). Carry a new cat litter box, filled with the following mixture: rolled oats and granola cereal mixed together, Tootsie Rolls (softened with water), and dabs of chocolate icing. Offer to your friends. Gross... but delicious!
Catcher in the Rye
Find a set of (baseball) catcher's gear and wear it. Then take a clear garbage bag, and draw or glue labels on it to duplicate a bread bag from a loaf of rye bread. Cut holes for your legs, arms and face, and put it on over the catching equipment. Twist tie the bag on top.
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon
Get an appropriate costume, such as Bullwinkle or Snoopy. Attach long strings all around and then attach tiny plastic clowns at the end of each string. Then walk in slow motion humped over with the clowns just dragging the floor.
Partly Cloudy With A Chance of Showers
Wear blue surgical scrubs, glue cotton in a patchy pattern all over the shirt and carry a squirt gun.
Static Cling
Wear any kind of mismatched clothes, pin one pant leg up, pin dryer sheets on you as well as socks, small towels, etc., and then use hair gel to make your hair look like it has static.
iPod Commercial
Dress in ALL black, and use black make-up to cover exposed skin. Carry around an iPod and dance wildly.
Dog the Bounty Hunter
Wear black jeans, a bullet-proof vest without a shirt, a leather band around your biceps, tool belt with a can of mace, and, of course, a long blond mullet. Carry around a "Wanted" poster with your fugitive's picture and information. Flash the "hang loose" sign a lot, and call everyone "Brah."
Nick Nolte Mug Shot
Wear a Hawaiian shirt. Put tons of gel and baby oil in your hair and blow dry it upside down making it look as crazy as possible. Hang a small sign around your neck that says "Nolte, Nick" with a case number.
Operation Game Man
Wear pale pink or flesh-colored clothing, with a red clown nose and fake wig. Use felt to create game pieces (butterflies in the stomach, broken heart, wrenched ankle, etc.). Attach the pieces to the appropriate location on your body with velcro. Optional: Carry a large pair of tweezers so people can try their luck at removing your parts, and carry a hidden hand buzzer.
Cereal Killer
Take a bunch of empty miniature cereal boxes, stick plastic knives in the sides, paint with red paint or nail polish to simulate blood. Pin the boxes all over yourself.
Electrocution Victim
Take store-bought latex that can be heated, melted, and applied to the face. Prior to application, put black and red streaks on face. Then, apply the warm liquid latex to face. After the latex sets, apply more black and red on top of the latex. Cut into the latex to form scars, and fill these areas in with fake blood and touches of yellow liquid makeup. Take some old clothes and set fire to them in strategic places (kids get help from your parents with this!!). Rub some of the ash over the clothes and on your skin. Mess your hair up, and set with gel to appear that you have been electrocuted. Walk around with outlet the end on your fingers.
Alien Host
Attach an alien doll to your midsection. Cut a hole in the middle of your clothes so it looks like the alien is bursting through your stomach. Splatter fake blood around the hole.
Kissing Booth
Construct a booth using two boxes, with the opening of the top box facing forward. Add straps so the boxes sit on your shoulders. Spray paint the boxes white and then use red paint to write "Kisses $1" and "Kissing Booth" on them. (You might even make some money!)
Can-Can Dancer
Wear an old, long, frilly skirt. Attach empty cans underneath so that when you lift it up to dance everyone will see your can-cans!
Bubble Bath
Wear pink, blue or white clothes, with small pink, blue or white balloons attached. Wear a matching bath cap, also with balloons. Carry a back scrubber, a rubber ducky, and for an added touch hang some soap on a rope as your belt. Optional: take a toy tub, cut out the bottom and form straps to hang from your shoulders.
Alice in Wonderland
Wear a light-blue dress with puffy sleeves. Find a cardboard box big enough to fit over the middle of your body. Cut holes for head and arms and paint it to look like a house, with your head sticking out of the chimney and your arms sticking out of windows.
Phantom of the Grand Ole Opry
Wear black clothes, a black cape, and a Phantom of the Opera mask. Then add a cowboy hat, boots, and a toy gun and holster.
