Cheap and easy Halloween costumes

Do you have your Halloween costume yet?

If you don't want to spend a scary amount of money (or time) on a costume, here’s a list of 100-plus cheap and easy Halloween costumes from our sister website, Living on the Cheap.


There are so many costume ideas that they’re divided into sections: Scary, Real-life people, Pop culture and history, Offbeat, sports themed and animals. Just a few that you’ll find are: Playing Card, Tardis from Doctor Who, Medusa and Zombie Bride. We've also got instructions for face-painting to create a witch and face-painting to create a monster.
