Time is running out for you to decide on your 2009 Halloween costume and we’re here to help. Maybe you’re not the type of person who gets excited about Halloween, or perhaps you don’t have the time to shop for the perfect costume, but you need something and you need it fast.
Enter the Halloween mask. Pairing one of these up with clothes you already own is a simple and cheap way to craft a costume. Here are 5 masks that we suggest:
1. Barack Obama
This happens to be one of the most popular costume themes of the year already and you can complete the look either with a suit and tie, something more casual or get really creative and don some athletic gear for the pickup basketball version of President Obama.
2. Mr. Burns
Another character that you can pair up with a suit for a quick costume. As masks go, this one is a bit cheaper than the Obama one as well. And if you can perfect Mr. Burns’ creepy voice, you might just be the hit of your next Halloween party.
3. Napolean Dynamite
The appeal of Napolean Dynamite has not waned even several years after the blockbuster movie. Couple this mask with some funky clothes and moon boots, or make your own “Vote for Pedro” t-shirt.
4. Eric Cartman
South Park’s most popular character is always a big hit this time of year. Add a pair of brown pants and a red sweater or sweatshirt and you can tell everyone to respect your “author-i-tay”.
5. Dr. Spock
Live long and prosper this Halloween with the Dr. Spock look. Black pants and a homemade blue Starfleet uniform shirt will transform you instantly into this popular Vulcan. You can also buy Star Trek costume tops online as well.
