Help please I need an idea and I'm clueless

**crank713** · 10-12-2008,01:20 PM

Okay, firstly, I'll admit that I have not dressed up for Halloween since 4th grade (I am now 22 years old). I just have not really gone to any Halloween parties, etc. or had friends that did.

However, this year a friend of mine wants me to go to a Halloween party and so I need a costume. I am completely clueless and am without ideas. I'm not a very creative person so that does not help.

Can someone offer me some good ideas that would be relatively easy? I do not want something too "out there" and definitely something that is comfortable to wear.

I really had wanted a Donnie Darko costume but I am not going to spend hundreds on it and I cannot make it myself.

Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. I am a male, by the way.

My friends used to do a one item costume party. Bring a towel and say you are an alien hitchhiker.

Or do you need something that is obviously a costume? You can get skeleton suits similar to the one Donnie wore pretty cheap, or did you want the Frank costume?

I think I should have something that really looks like a costume.

I would actually prefer Donnie's costume as I think it would be more comfortable than the Frank costume. But I still could not find.

Since "out there" is out, Do you want something:

Funny
Scary
Clever
Studly

or you can pick a combo of two, this will "help us help you"

Well I suppose I would like something clever that is maybe just a tad humorous. I'm not really going for a scary/gross type of thing.

The easiest costume I've ever done was the Invisible Man. Just wear a hat, a coat and/or clothes that cover arms and legs, gloves, and sunglasses. Then wrap the rest of your face with a roll of bandages, and voila.

Ok, I have another question, is there anything you are "into".....something that might reflect your personality? (i.e. you play instument, love polka, fix doorknobs, skydive, train chinchillas...anything)

I'm pretty obsessed with Apple products (computer company, that is) - not sure if that can really be used
