Well, I am on a roll now. I really am the Queen of Halloween Costume Ideas. It was wonderful to see the great comments from my first hit, “Queen of Halloween Costume Ideas….’Tis True”, and to prove I am not just any one hit wonder, I will offer up my next Halloween blog for your approval. I think I have better ideas on this one. Enjoy! These are easy, quick ideas that are cheap or will not cost you a penny.
Dog
“On a short leash”-For a guy, dress like a dog and wear a collar and a very short leash.
Dog with the words of the week written all over him. “Every dog has its day”
Dress like a dog, carrying a book with the title “New Tricks” X’d out (Can’t teach an old dog new tricks”
Cat
Couple- One dresses like a cat with a little brown bag, bloodied…the other is himself, but with fake blood all around his mouth “Cat’s got your tongue”
Dress like a cat, carry a bag – “Cat’s out of the bag”
Couple- one is a cat, the other looks disheveled, unkept “Look what the cat’s dragged in”
Heaven, Hell, Devils, Angels
Dress like the devil, carry bells -”Hell’s Bells”
Dress like the devil, tie a plastic ice cube tray on top of your head “Hell freezing over”
Dress like the devil, carry a mirror. When someone asks what you are, make them look in the mirror..”See you in Hell”
Dress like an angel and put a 7 on your chest “seventh heaven”
Dress like an angel and carry a stuffed animal pig “Hog Heaven”
Queen of Hearts- tiara and red hearts all over your body. King of clubs-crown and a golf club.
Queen Bee- tiara and a big B on your chest.
Pat on the back- sign “Pat” on your back.
Brain freeze- ice cube tray tied on top of your head.
Ice Princess- gown, ice cube tray tied on top of your head.
3 children- Indians with the numbers 1,2, 3 on their backs-One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians
Stuffed bunny tied on the top of your head-”Hare-Brained”
Husband, Wife and Child- Child-baby bee (lowercase “b” on its chest) Wife-Queen B, Husband-Bee Keeper (3 or 4 necklaces with B’s)
Get a sweatshirt and velcro a deck of cards (minus one) all over and go as ” 1 card short of a full deck.” (That’s what I am going to school as I think)
Draw a picture of a shark on poster board and cut it out and just carry it..”Card shark”
Draw a square with the number 1 inside of it and put it on your back “Back to square 1”
Roll some guaze around your neck a couple of times and put a sign on your chest that says Charley- “Charley hoarse”
Buy one of those fake birds and just throw it at people when they ask what you are and you can say, “Flippin you the bird.”
Wear one of those yellow slickers and put a big check mark on the back and go as a “raincheck”
Make a red heart and put it on your sleeve “Wearing your heart on your sleeve”
So, if you decide at the last minute to dress up for Halloween or if you really don’t want to, but your significant other is pressuring you to dress, I hope you will be able to use one of these quick and easy costume ideas.

WHA? You did!
That’s so coooool! :C
haha, I even read the whole thing and didn’t see that.
You should write jokes for the Simpsons. :]
Like the sign jokes you only get when you pause the DVD.
Those are always the best…

I prepare for trick or treaters every year … alas, I am too far out in the woods. I have not had any halloween children visit for 2 years … previous years, I might get one or two cars stopping in (I think my past visitors have grown up)

I was in the same boat. Lived out in the country and never had Trick or Treaters. Last year was my first year living in a small town and only had 1. I need to remember to buy candy I do not like..lol
