14 Last-Minute Halloween Costumes That’ll Arrive Before The 31st

(Amazon)

There are two kinds of Halloween people: the ones who start plotting their costumes weeks (if not months) in advance and go all-out long before the first jack-o’-lantern hits the porch, and the ones who find themselves rummaging through their wardrobes on October 31, hoping a black outfit and a pair of sunglasses might pass for a costume. If you fall into the second camp, there’s still time to pull something together before resorting to a “Hi, my name is” sticker as your entire disguise.

These last-minute Halloween costume ideas are easy to throw together, won’t cost a fortune and can be stowed away for next year, when October 31 inevitably sneaks up on you again.
