To not solve 13 year olds Halloween fancy dress

[fruitstick]

DS needs a costume for tomorrow.

Nothing I have suggested is suitable.

I can't do anything about Amazon delivery times

We are skint.

I can't sew.

DS is upset but I've said he needs to be creative.

However - if you have any great free ideas I'll take 'em.

Ghost - white sheet

Old white sheet, cut into strips and bandage around him, just like a ‘mummy’

Well you're fun. My partner and I are both in our late 60s and are both dressing up tomorrow, as are the rest of our family.

Same rules here.

Only issue we've had is a child grabbing handfuls of sweets but did put them back when we said only one sweet each. I love Halloween!

Costumes I've worn:

Witch
Cat
Zombie
Bad fairy
Bat
Malice in wonderland
Devil
Wednesday
Dinosaur

Fun sponge 😁

Roarsome!! 🦁

Thanks for the warning. She'd probably find that hilarious but I'll patch test first!

Wow I feel old now! I see Smirnoff Ice is still an option so will substitute that into my original post.

Maybe ask on Facebook, someone might have something, or a mens small. Some great ideas here though

I very rarely bought halloween costumes for the kids as money was tight. Homemade as much as possible with the odd mask, charity shop find and fake blood thrown in.
But zombie was always my go to when the kids were growing up. It’s easy to do and all it need is old clothes that you can rough up and dirty and a bit of make up.

I remember the last time dd went out for halloween several years ago, it was all last minute and her friend didn’t have a costume either. Managed to cobble together a zombie and a killer clown from stuff we had knocking about the house

Zombie is easy

This one cracked me up ( no pun intended) 😀

Are there any blue dungarees in the house? And a red tshirt? He could dress up as Mario?

This one made me laugh when i was looking for one of my kids. It's so bad it's good.

Umberella, pound shop battery operated led lights and some bubble wrap. Weave the lights through the soles in the top of the opened umberella . Cut the bubble wrap into wavy strips and tape them onto the very edge of the Umbrella trailing down to the floor. Jellyfish. Extra points for spray/ painting the bubble wrap in pastel colours or adding ribbons etc.

Tape some small cereal boxes to the clothes. Voila, a “cereal” killer…

Charity shop! I rely on our local one for the constant school dress up days. They're superb and always have a huge range, even Halloween costumes.

Failing that ... Black clothes you already own, white face paint, fake blood, ripped old clothes, cheap mask from a pound shop, etc etc

At uni I got a massive t shirt from a charity shop then burnt it and put ketchup and brown sauce on it for blood stains… with a ton of back combing and make up I was an effectively disturbing zombie, despite setting off the fire alarm and smelling of tomatoes!

Have a look on Facebook marketplace, loads of cheap and free costumes.

What? My 20-year old and his friends are going to a party as Backstreet Boys. I have to tell him there is an age limit..

You could go as the Grinch, if you change your mind!

If you have a head size box you can paint it and go as Minecraft character. Sheet = ghost, sunglasses on outside sheet. Any old clothes rip them up a bit dirt and fake blood and you’re a zombie.

@fruitstick
We're all really invested now. Please let us know what he goes as.

My son is going as Fight Club, all you need is a white shirt , a loose black tie, fake blood and messy hair.

Why on earth would it be done over the weekend? People don’t just decide their kids can go out guising on a random day, plus the only time “trick or treat” is done on a different day to 31st October, is when it falls on a Sunday!

Barcardi Breezers are now called 'pre- mixed cocktails' for some unknown reason.

You can get them Here
