Cheap Halloween Comstume Ideas
« on: October 18, 2005, 09:39:48 AM »
Ok, so I need one of these and Fell's post about his costume last year got me thinking. Anyone got any good and cheap ideas for a costume that people might be able to understand the reference? (I know I could dress up as a poet, but many people probably wouldn't know it.)

Wear a name tag with "Evil Twin of ..." written on it and wear a fake goatee.

42, you're the last person that I would have expected to suggest an "evil twin" costume. Would you want me dressing up as you? And just because I'm a lawyer doesn't per se make me the evil twin!

Anyways, a cheap costume idea is
being a gardner or construction worker (or Bob the Builder). Just wear a some overalls and grab an appropriate hand tool.

Bob (or Wendy) the Builder takes a little more coordination, but they are easy characters to replicate. Plus, every preschooler will start signing that annoying "Bob the Builder" theme song as soon as they see you.

Only evil twins deny they're evil.

But I already have a beard. And I've taken to shaving my head as well.

Then you are already your own evil twin. And that's a really cheap costume.  ;)

I still recommend being frozen food. Get a snow hat and some gloves and Cling Wrap or cellophane and wrap yourself up, and you're done.

My best friend's dad teaches high school science.  I had him way back in yesteryear.  Every year he'd wear a trashbag decorated with different cutouts of colored paper to make some organism...paramecium, amoeba, or even a mitochondrion.  Very cool stuff.
