If you are still scrambling to find that perfect Halloween costume, here are some perfect ideas that are fast, cheap and original.

Black-Eyed Pea: Wear something that is black and paint a black circle around your eye. Get a container, fill it with Mountain Dew and carry it with you.

Cereal Killer: Buy little boxes of cereal and pin them to a black shirt. Get plastic knives with red paint on them and stick them into the cereal boxes.

Guy Magnet: Pin Ken dolls to a black shirt. This also works if you use Barbie dolls and go as a babe magnet.

Missing Dog: Find an extra-large t-shirt and fill it with paper to make it appear that you are very large. Then, find a stuffed dog and pin it to your behind. Carry a sign that says "Missing Dog."

God’s Gift to Women: Wrap up a guy like a present. Pin on a sign that says “To Women From God.”

Nudist on Strike: Dress in normal attire and wear a sign that says “Nudist on Strike.”

Static Cling: Pin articles of clothing all over your body.
Melted Snowman: Carry two sticks and a broom and drench yourself in water.

White Trash: Wear white clothing and tape trash to yourself.

Deviled Egg: Dress like an egg and wear devil horns.

Got Milk: Wear a sign that says “Got Milk,” and paint a milk mustache on your face. Just make sure the paint is non-toxic. A trip to the emergency room is not a fun way to spend Halloween.

Carry-on Luggage: Put on an old shopping bag and then wear a hanger on your head.

One Night Stand: Put a lampshade on your head.

Done: Stab a fork through your shirt. Remember to place something between your shirt and stomach. Like I just said, a trip to the emergency room is not fun. Wear a sign that says, “Done.”

Cardiac Arrest: One person dresses like a heart wearing handcuffs, and the other person dresses like a cop. 
Starbucks Coffee: Pin dollar bills all over yourself.
IRS Agent: Take 20 percent of everyone’s candy.

Ghost: For people with no imagination, get an old sheet and cut two holes for the eyes.

Ashlee Simpson: Play one of her songs and lip-sync to it.
There are a lot of retail stores selling Halloween costumes, but that can get pretty expensive. All of these costumes are fun and easy because most of the supplies are probably already in your house.
