If you’re planning to look super creepy, extra scary, and drop-dead gorgeous this Halloween, you’ll need a fantastic costume! After all, you know the nice-looking shirts and sleek pants you have in your closet don’t give off a spooky vibe! Still, how do you bring out your inner witch without going broke?

Which Cheap Halloween Costumes Are the Treat of the Year?

Here’s the thing: dressing eerie for a night doesn’t have to cost a fortune. That’s because all the stuff you need for a jaw-dropping, spooktacular outfit is somewhere in your home! In fact, our list of cheap Halloween costumes proves that! Check it out, and see which costume spells ‘fun nightmare’ for you!

Walk Out From a Silent Movie

Charlie Chaplin didn’t exactly want his gestures in black-and-white to be the synonym for October 31st, but your goals might be different! If you intend to go neither ghostly nor skeleton-y on All Hallow’s Eve, you can be the silent movie star of the night!

Get the cobwebs off your little black dress, cover your face in white paint, and share your deepest party thoughts on some placards. You’ll sparkle everyone’s interest with a bit of silence and a ton of mystery! Introverts, are you feeling this look?

Be a Goofy Egg

Lovers of fried eggs, here’s a costume that will make you drool! If you want to celebrate your favorite breakfast recipe this Halloween, grab a white card and glue something yellow to it (a bowl, for example). Then, fry your way to Spookytown!

You might not be the one to scare everyone at the party, but we bet that that’s not your intention either. After all, you’ll be a loving, happy fried egg! Unless you make your costume with a mean face, which is a completely different story.

Dress as Your Dearest Late Celebrity

Are you head-over-heels for a singer, actor, or actress? If so, it’s time to spend the day in your closet! Die-hard fans of Merlyn Monroe, Elvis, and other celebrities who have, unfortunately, passed away could enjoy being dressed like their dearest stars when they go trick-or-treating.

Simply find some clothes that hint at the style of your beloved celebrity, and start decorating them! To make yourself look perfect, which means dead in this case, use white face paint, eyeliner, and a few drops of fake blood. Get pale, and you will get many stares!

Be the Creepiest Doll at the Party

Could there be a creepier sight on the night of jack-o’-lanterns than that of an Anabelle puppet boozing with waterfowls, vampires, and zombies? We don’t think so! Therefore, dust off an old dress, find some white face paint, and frighten everyone with your slow walk!

Furthermore, make sure your eyes are super accented and bigger than the moon itself! Your stare should be worth a scare, baby! Also, don’t forget to put some lipstick on your lips and a ribbon or two in your hair; cute creepy is the creepiest you can go!

Get Inspired by Roy Lichtenstein’s Art

If you think that cheap Halloween costumes can turn you into a walking piece of art, you’re right! For example, take a look at the Roy Lichtenstein costume! It’s a wonderful one to consider, especially if you have time on your hands!

Look around for some hairspray and face paint, and start painting the dots! Then, contour your face with black lines, and use contrasting colors to achieve the pop art look. Whether you choose to draw a pumpkin or two on your cheeks is totally up to you!

Let Your Child Dive

Halloween wouldn’t be so much fun (and a bit frightening) if it weren’t for the kiddos who love playing trick-or-treat. However, they also need proper costumes to wear on this day, and this one is beyond cool! Also, it’s super cheap to make!

All you need to prepare your little diver for the celebration is some black clothes and two water bottles; they’ll have their wetsuit and diving tanks ready in a heartbeat! Of course, you’ll need to spray paint the bottles first not to take away from their serious diver look.

Dress Your Kiddo as an Old Person

How about disguising your little one as an old lady or gent? We think this is a fantastic idea, especially if you’ve bought them a tiny skirt that’s just too long or a pair of knitted cardigans! If that’s the case, your kid will crack your friends up!

You can also have your child wear a gray wig and use a little walker for a complete look. Furthermore, make sure they have a pair of sneakers on their footsies – grannies and grandpas need comfy shoes for their ankles!
