Halloween Costume cheap/free ideas

13 replies

Has anyone got any ideas for a Halloween costume that's free or extremely cheap? But still looks good. This would be for me, dh and dd tween.

I've been looking on Google today but everything that's coming up is more for younger people. Nothing that would suit me. Have had a look at costumes and they would be over £100. Don't want to really spend money on one night.

Any old clothes, a bit grubby and ripped.
Zombie make-up, rambling gait.

Interested in this thread?

See 'Shaun of the Dead' for inspiration. There's a lesson on how to look and act like a zombie about 1/3 of the way through.

@rosydreams had a look on vinted today, didn't really see anything great.

@Disappearedwife l don't have any old white sheets.

@ODFOx that might be ok for dh. Will put it in the maybe list.

yeah vinted is a mixed bag sometimes you have to rummage through a garbage pile of crap before finding anything good.Especially womans clothes,not much flattering clothes in my size unfortunately

Bluebellsinthewind · 06/10/2024 21:02

That's what I found. It was more for younger people or just crap.

Best formal evening clothes, pale make-up, plastic teeth, vampire capes from Vinted.

Bluebellsinthewind · 06/10/2024 21:13

Sorry just remembered that the theme, I had in mind was the corpse bride. But open to all suggestions Grin

@Time40 that might do dd.

If you're into anime-inspired looks, you could check out animecosplay.com.au/collections/genshin-impact for some cool Genshin Impact costume ideas. Even if you just pick one key piece, like a wig or accessory, it could totally transform a basic outfit without spending much.
