Ok, I get it. It takes time and effort to get that great Halloween costume, and most of all you need to not get distracted. Easier said than done and mine is still in the living room (Though if you follow my twitter you’d know I do have progress made) not finished.

With less than a week to go before you need to have something together, here are some quick and easy Halloween costumes:

The Sock Monster
Wear your normal clothes, pin socks all over you. You’re the guy who steals the socks from the dryer. If you want to vamp it up a bit, throw on a generic monster mask.

Ceiling Fan
Have a sign that says “Go Ceilings!” You could also wear a jersey, use face paint, whatever.

Freudian Slip
Mostly for the fems, you wear a slip with Freud on it. You can also put sayings on it as well.

Quarterback
Make a cardboard cut out of a quarter, tape it to your back.

Cereal Killer
There’s two ways to do this. One: dress in black with a big knife (fake!) and tape cereal boxes to you. Or, if you have the cardboard dress AS a cereal box, with a knife.

Dr. House
Cardboard cutout of a house, and wear a stethoscope

Kangaroo
Tape a brown paper bag to your front.

CD Burner
I’m quite fond of this one. Tie a computer CD around your neck, and carry a lighter. If anyone asks who you are, hold the lighter up to the CD!

Cup Holder
Carry a cup.

Credit card Ad
Wear whatever, attach tags to everything saying how much they cost (ie Jeans: $60), then wear a sign that says “Not spending all my money and time on a costume: Priceless”

Pumpkin Pi(e)
Fitting with the geek theme. Cut out a pumpkin shape and write 3.1415926… on it and attach it to your shirt.

If all else fails, go in whatever and when someone asks what you are do the following:
- Look horribly offended, mutter something about hours of work wasted
- Say with a large grin “Isn’t it obvious?”
- “Yes.” That will confuse them the most.
