Just got invited to a party? Were you planning on staying in and watching scary movies by yourself and now your friends are dragging you along? Well, don’t you worry, these costumes are cost effective and easy to put together. Anything listed that you don’t have in your closet? This is a great time to support our environment and go thrifting! Have fun and be safe out there!

If you have a white button down and dress pants/a black skirt, then you’re just about good to go! All you need is the Superman shirt to layer underneath (easily found online at Amazon or in person at Target for $15 and under) and a pair of glasses. This is perfect with the recent movie and to serve office siren with a Halloween twist. Bonus points if you can find someone to be the Lois to your Clark.

Everyone’s favorite British bear! The colors to go for are navy blue, brown, and of course, the signature red hat to tie it all together. This is a great option because of how adaptable it is for each person’s preferences. The style of clothes doesn’t matter as much as the color scheme does. Also a great option for those who want the extra layer against the New Hampshire autumn chill.

One of my personal favorites, and Iikely the easiest of the bunch! Overalls are the most important part. Mouse ears are a plus, easily found on Amazon or at Spirit Halloween, but also easily recreated with some mini space buns. The best part is that you can carry cookies around with you the whole night for a snack. Comfortable, casual, and cute.

Get out that marker, scribble out “Zoo Wee Mama”, and throw on some jeans and a blue button down if you’re looking for more screen accuracy. Funny, unique, and comfortable, this is a great choice for anyone who prefers to focus on the fit over the accessories. (Please someone go as Rowley).

In a similar vein to the mouse, the overalls are key here. The addition of the red bandana, which can be found on Amazon or any craft store, will just tie the look together. Add some blue eyeshadow for a pop, and you’re set. This is a great option for any film/horror girlie working on a time crunch and limited supplies.
