Your last minute Halloween costume sorted

Recently, a friend and I went to find what costumes you can make at Party City just from their props alone. Because let’s be honest, no one wants to spend 55 dollars on a subpar cowgirl costume that we will only wear once. We’re all college students no matter how loaded you are that money can be better spent on alcohol.

Let’s start with one of the most frigthening costumes imaginable: a Brony.

If you are not familiar with the term “Brony” – good. Scroll past this section and keep your mind pure.

A Brony is basically a man who gets a hard on for the revamped “My Little Pony” series. Which is indeed truly disturbing.

What’s more scary a ghost saying “boo” or a grown ass man rubbing one out to the thought of an animated rainbow unicorn?

The way to create this cheap yet festive costume is by finding “My Little Pony” merchandise and bro-ing it out. Like a simple My Little Pony t-shirt and hat.

But to add the proper creepy vibe, throw snapback on it. The snap back says, “I’m a bro but I still love me some Rainbow Dash”.

Put all of it together and you have the perfect Brony outfit.

This other costume is a cheap simple one that can do the trick. Basically, you get a bunch of fake lei’s put them all over and maybe throw in a fun flower hat and viola you are “Getting lei’d”.

It can seem a little lame but imagine talking to your friend and they are like what are you and you’re reply is “I’m getting lei’d”.

That’s a high-fiveable joke. It’s also a convenient “costume” to wear if you have other plans that night which involve going somewhere that requires an actual outfit.

Another idea for an easy costume to make is “Hawaiian Punch”.

This is a very simple to make if you don’t really want to make a costume. Pick up a straw hat, if you are feeling ambitious you can add an aloha shirt. Whenever you strike a pose always throw a punch.
If someone keeps asking you what you are dressed up as punch them until the get the joke. That may or may not end up well, but it would definitely be sticking to the character.

The final costume idea that we created was Queen Bee. It’s very simple to make, all you need is a black & yellow tutu with wings and a crown. Very simple and all together it probably costs around 25 dollars.

If you wanted you could upgrade the costume simply having the attitude of Beyonce then you could be the Queen Bey.

If you bring a prop microphone and dance like your life depended it on it then you could definitely embody all that is needed to be the Queen Bey for the night.

No matter what, if you search around any clothing store enough, finding a costume should not be too hard. It’s all about finding little props pieces that you like and building an idea around it.

Don’t waste your money on slutty Elmo, waste your money on booze instead.

Since after all, main idea of Halloween is not about the price of your costume. It’s about having fun and getting turnt.
