    Friends of mine in college went to all the house parties as "pubic hair on soap".

    All you need is a white t-shirt and some black yarn.

    All I need are new friends :sad:

    Go as a mad scientist. Spike your hair and wear a long white shirt and your good.

    Here's a good idea that I've done before. It doesn't take much... just an old tie, some old clothes, hairspray, glue, and some trash.

    You'll be a person walking against the wind (or walking in a hurricane during the current state of things)

    You put on old clothes, put on old tie, run wire (wire hanger works) through tie and bend it to "fly" back, hair spray hair back like it's being wind blown, and glue a few pieces of trash to your legs and chest. When you walk, act like you're walking against the wind. Voila, person walking in a wind storm.

    I went as Redfoo from LMFAO last weekend. It came down to that or Keith Stone. Couldn't do Keith Stone because I can't grow facial hair. :(

    hobo, cowboy, biker, rodeo clown, hippy, toga (animal house), doctor, were all our college costumes. Some people were really creative. I was not but oh I loved halloween in college the girls would wear practically nothing.

    Go as Gene Frenkle of Blue Oyster Cult. you know the Will Ferral famous Cowbell scene. you just need a matching wig (unless your blessed with amazing hair) go to the thrift store and look in the womens section for the cloth it won't be hard to find the pants and shirt. I did this a few years back and people still laugh at it. we went to a bar party and snook into the bar low key light and started banging my cowbell with the music on stage. you should have seen the beer spitting out of everyones noses.

    My roommates and I were all broke so we spent $7 each at a party store and bought beards and we went as the crew from Duck Dynasty. Turned out awesome since we all already had everything we needed except for the beards!
