Easy Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas
October 30, 2015
If you’ve procrastinated on putting together a Halloween costume this year, here are five easy ideas you can pull together with clothing you probably already have in your closet.
1. Wednesday Addams
If you don’t have a black sweater and a white button-up shirt somewhere in your closet, someone in your family probably does. Pair this with a black skirt or even some black jeans and you’ll be good to go. Bonus: if your hair is long enough to braid – do it!

2. Chucky
Pair a striped shirt with some overalls and you’re basically set. If you want to put in a little extra effort, attach some red felt letters and spell out “Good Guys” for cinematic accuracy and draw some scars on your face. You can easily find the clothing at a Goodwill or Salvation Army if you do a little digging and the letters at a craft store.
3. Tina from Bob’s Burgers
This has got to be one of the easiest things you can pull together. All you need is a blue t shirt and a blue skirt and some glasses. If you already wear glasses, you’re set. If you need prop glasses, just stop by party city or your local pop-up Halloween store.
4. Alex from A Clockwork Orange
For all the Kubrick fans out there, throw on your white jumpsuits and black top hats. If you don’t happen to have a white jumpsuit laying around (I assume the average person doesn’t), a white button up and any kind of white pants will do. Pair these with false eyelashes, some black boots if you have them, and don’t forget to pose with a glass of milk!

5. Donnie Darko
You might have some type of skeleton shirt buried in your drawer, or if you want to go the extra mile, just pick up a skeleton suit from a costume store. Don’t forget your gray hoodie and end-of-the-world countdown tattoo!

This will benefit students and athletes alike as they will enhance both the Athletic and Performing Arts Departments and bring much-needed venues and state-of-the-art spaces to campus. “You want to be rooted in that tradition of the school when [it comes to] these projects, we’ve always got to be innovating and moving forward,” Vice President of School Relations Scott Melvin said.

![GET UP Students laugh and dance at a school rally. All the events and rallies hosted by ASB help bring students together and make school an enjoyable place to be. Senior Maddy O’Connor believes ASB keeps everything together and the school spirit alive. “A lot of things wouldn't be as organized [without ASB] and it'd be kind of boring,” O’Connor said. “ASB brings joy to Mater Dei, and pretty much [all things] cool.”](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/HEIF-Image-1200x800.jpeg)
