3 ways to look spooky good on a budget
Creativity can go a very long way. You do not have to spend so much money just to dress up awesome. Here are 5 costume ideas you can try:
- Zombie
From the night of the living dead to warm bodies, zombies are one spooky creature everyone comes to love. The element of horror and oddness from this “almost dead creature” is actually very cheap to recreate.
Old worn-out clothes on the back of your closet is a perfect material for a reusable costume. In fact, the dirtier looking and holes count on the shirt, the better you are as a zombie! Combine it with killer lifeless make up, you are ready to hunt candy for your brain.
2. Among us crew
Who has not heard of the among of us game? The team-based mystery game has taken the internet by storm. A lot of people play and love it. Turns out, you can be among us crew or impostor by reusing your old stuff in your house.
All you need are a turtleneck as a top, pants made from dyeable material, old sneakers or rain boots, temporary hair dye, face painting, and an old plain cloth mask.
First, you have to pick the color you want. Then, in case your top, bottom, mask, hair, and shoes are in different colors, you need to dye them all in your preferred color. Next, paint your whole face using your chosen color. Put them on, add any accessories you want and you are ready to guess who the impostor or better yet, be the impostor!
3. Classic ghost in a sheet
Let’s be honest, when it comes to drawing a ghost, nothing is easier than a simple white floating ghost. In fact, it’s also way easier to recreate the look!
Owning several white sheets is very common and people hardly notice its potential as a costume. All you have to do is cut a few holes on the sheet so you have a vision, wear a black legging, and a shoe. Bam! You’re a floating ghost in the dark!
Feeling uncool? Try to be creative by adding a stain of blood on the sheet, decorative little bulbs, or put on Chelsea smile makeup and add a hole on your mouth area for a ghastly touch. This costume is very versatile, feel free to add any element you want!
There you go! 3 different ways your old clothes can be reused as a cheap Halloween costume! Now you are ready to spook the night away with yourself or your friends and family. Happy Halloween.
