31 Easy, Last-Minute Halloween Costumes
The months seem to go by faster and faster until, before you know it, it’s October 30, and you’re scrambling to put together a last-minute Halloween costume of your own creation. Your attempt at an easy Halloween costume (perhaps something inspired by your favorite Halloweentown character, pulled from the options already in your closet) may leave something to be desired, though.
You knew Halloween was coming—you’ve likely been trading Halloween quotes and Halloween puns for weeks now, between binge-watching Halloween movies on Netflix. Sure, you might have planned to go as a pineapple, an astronaut, or even just a witch, but as the days passed, you just never got around to getting to the costume store to buy that ensemble. It happens to the best of us. Fortunately, waiting until the last minute to research Halloween costume ideas doesn’t mean you’ll be relegated to being the photographer all evening long while everyone else shows off their smart costumes.
