‘Twas the night before all-hallows-eve, pumpkins carved all nice; but alas with no costume in sight you can’t help but have a fright. Hazzah, a solution appears as you rummage through the endless abyss of stuff you own — a list of 35 last-minute Halloween costumes arises:
If you are skilled with a makeup brush, a clown is the perfect last-minute Halloween costume for you. Do some extravagant makeup, make special use of blues and reds, add some over-the-top eyeliner and you are golden. If you want to go the extra mile, take a piece of printer paper and roll it into a cone to wear as a little clown hat.
Grab a white button up, khaki shorts and a brown hat and have fun looking for the Holy Grail!
If you have overalls and a pink bikini top this costume is perfect for you! Pair this with a pitchfork (or fork) to enhance this look.
To complete this look, paint your face white, wait for it to dry and draw some red circles on your face. To enhance your look tie a red ribbon around your neck or wear a red bow-tie.
If you happen to have access to a can of green temporary hair dye, the Joker is the perfect costume for you. Over exaggerate it with the red lips and pair it with a white button up and your look is complete.
Patrick Bateman from “American Psycho”
Grab an ax, a button up, some slacks and some headphones and boom, Patrick Batemen! Smear some red lipstick or fake blood on your face to bring this character to life.

To start, wear an all black fit. Cut out a blue piece of paper into a triangle and write “yes,” “no” or “you wish” on it; then tape this triangle to your body. Next, cut out a white circle and draw a black “8” on it. Tape this circle to yourself and now you can predict people’s fortunes.
“Sally Sells Sea Shells by the Sea Shore”
