Low-effort Halloween costume ideas?
Have a party out of town to go to next weekend... hope to have a simple costume that doesn't involve a mask or a lot of prep time. Zen is OK too.

For instance, I used to have a T-shirt with the SPAM logo on it. I just taped the little opener key to my forehead and voila, I was a can of Spam.

Considering being Walter from The Big Lebowski, but I don't have a vest, and it probably wouldn't work without someone in a Lebowski costume...

Help?

2. Pirates are low effort.
Ghosts are low effort.

Wizards are low effort.

Honestly, if you have a baggy white poet shirt and a black choir robe or cape, you can do a LOT with those. :P

4. Naturist is easy.
If you have a tuxedo then the Phantom of the Opera can be a low-cost option. You can buy a cheap white plastic mask and cut it to shape.

5. Wear glasses, mousse your hair into a curly flat top, and a wire in your tie
and go as Dilbert


Or put on a box and add a tail, draw whiskers on your face, and be a Cube Rat

8. I like the idea
of a Mall Walker. Wear those ugly track pants with the elastic around the ankles they have to make that annoying swishing noise, tuck your tshirt nice and tight, pedometer.. walk up behind people really quickly all day.

LOL I don't know why but I think that would be a funny one! LOL

9. I'm going to be the Downing Street Minutes.
I don't need any special costume, because no one remembers what they heck the DSM are, so no one can call me incorrect.

Boff, pow...
