I think the Hippie is easy, sew big bell bottoms around jean legs from knees, use bright material. Use bandanna around head or floppy hat and a wig or frizz out your own hair. Lots of beads, cheap and vests that are paisley or bright, Don't forget the peace sign either on a chain around the neck or on the jeans. Belts with fringe that hang way down...hip huggers or just put the belt down low and put a long shirt on. Then do the makeup, cat eyes, blue eyeshadow. Big hoop earrings. Floppy hat on guy, tie an old tie around it and cut the long ends off or put fringe on the ends....I think that's what I'm going to do
The other one is clowns. Checkered jacket with striped pants. old hat torn shirt sleeves. big tie tied wrong. shoes that are bright or big stuffed with tissue. her..long skirt, maybe two that don't match. makeup that is not quite right. Lots of gaudy jewelry and flowers . Maybe carry a stuffed animal or something a bag lady maybe. Either are good. The man needs a sad face and big eyebrows that start up on the forehead and go along your own down to the cheekbone in front of the ear. Draw it with eyebrow pwncil...thin and then thicken it as you see fit. Red lipstick mouth
You have fun now, I am going to. Oh yeah, pull those pants way up with a belt to hold tham up and make sure the legs are short
and make the socks fun. Look at home and your friends first and then figure out what you need and go to the thrift store. good luck

Go to the local thrift shop and find what works for you. We went as Marcia and Greg Brady one year.... LOTS OF Polyester.
Also Jolly Green Giant and Sprout.

White sweatshirt and jeans for both you and Sweetie. On the white sweatshirt, put the words "Generic Boyfriend" and "Generic Girlfriend" with a bar code under each one.
Happy Haunting!

you can be the phantom of the opera, the mask will only cost 3 bucks, get some black pants, black dress shirt, black tie and a black cape, add a small color anywhere to accentuate, you'll look great. as far as your lady...don't know any good costumes.

Use an old prom/party dress and buy a tiara... instant princess. Guys? White shirt, black pants, black shoes and a dish towel... waiter! Not too exciting... but cheap!

"Cereal" killer- take old clothes, red paint and cereal boxes and make it look like you have bloody pieces of cereal boxes on you, its a funny play on serial killer.
Homeless person- take reallly old clothes and scarfs and dirty hats, make yourself look old
fortune teller/gypsy- take scarfs, and layer many mutli-colored clothes, also wear lots of gaudy jewelery and way too make up
