Halloween creeps up on LHS students right after Homecoming, not giving students very much time to plan their costume. So instead of adding to your stress, the DOI staff thought of a few unusual, quirky costumes that are super easy to make and will definitely wow your friends.
Baked Potato (or Chipotle Burrito):
The amount of costumes you can make out of a single roll of tinfoil is unlimited. For the baked potato, simply wrap your entire body in tinfoil (this may require a few rolls). If you really want to add to the creativeness, make a fake Chipotle label and attach it to yourself.
Nudist on Strike:
It's crucial that you actually wear clothes for this one. The only thing you're required to make is a large sign that says "NUDIST ON STRIKE!" Either carry it around with you all night trick-or-treating or tape it to yourself.
A Highway:
Wear all black clothing and place yellow or white pieces of tape down the center of your body. For the full effect, attach small toy cars to your body.
Road Kill (right):
Choose an easy animal (a bunny, for example) and wear clothing that you don't mind getting destroyed (so all white for the bunny). You may need to purchase some animal ears or a tail for this costume if you don't already own any. Then, splatter red paint all over your clothing and maybe even draw in a few scars on your face.
Lax Bro Chill:
If you don't have a sibling or friend that plays lacrosse, you're kind of out of luck here. This costume involves borrowing other people's clothes, eliminating money altogether. Ask one of your lacrosse-playing friends to borrow a jersey and obnoxious pair of shorts.
Holy Cow:
Another clever costume that requires a bit more of an effort. You may need to purchase a cow costume for this one or wear white clothes and attach large, black spots to yourself. To get the 'holy' part across, wear a pair of angel wings and a halo.
