Witty Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

Halloween Parties are good fun when you have a witty costume to wear. Spending a ton of money is not necessary to win the prize for the most creative.

So what do you want to be in Halloween Parties?1. Shot in the DarkDrape yourself in black fabric. Take an old black sheet or length of fabric and cut a hole in the center. The hole should be big enough for your head to slide through. Wear a black belt. Use a hot glue gun to attach some black yarn or cord to a shot glass. Tell anyone who asks that you are a "shot in the dark." Alternatively, you could dress in all black if you do not have black fabric.2. Game Show ContestantWear a dressy outfit and a nametag. Handwrite your name in large print on the tag. Talk in question form all night. Or ask your friends for a certain category or tell them you want to buy a vowel.
