Are you still contemplating whether to be cute or scary? A character or an object? Don’t you worry; I’ve got tons of ideas in store for you. Take a look at this list of Halloween costume ideas from a genius.
The Deceptive Benefit-Maximizing Employee
Are you looking to save up money to spend on Halloween candy clearance sales on November 1? Avoid the parking fee at SFU by driving the rare ‘80s Domino’s Pizza delivery car to campus. To make this ruse more convincing, you must dress as a Domino’s Pizza delivery person (just walk into a Domino’s Pizza and ask the employee for their uniform). Pretend you’re just quickly bringing some pizzas to an SFU club party, but in reality, you’re attending the party for the rest of the day. The campus parking security probably won’t charge you for doing your delivery job. If they do ask you to pay, just give them some yummy pizza, and they’ll probably let you go!
Darth Vader says “later”
On October 31, you need to nap during the day to save energy for the Halloween parties happening later. If you have school, fully dress up as Darth Vader so you can close your eyes and sleep during the lecture without anyone noticing! If you’re a good student and still want to review the lecture materials after the Halloween chaos, press the red button on your suit, and it’ll record the whole lecture. You’re welcome for this clever idea!
The Intelligent Intimidator
Safety first! Those concerned about safety while trick-or-treating at night should consider dressing up as a lion so that if you come across a coyote, they’ll get scared and run away. Maybe I should call this costume the lie-on because you’d be spreading a lie that you’re a lion. Don’t just dress up as any lion; try to be like Scar from The Lion King for the scar-iest look!
The “October Fools” Initiator
If you’re a class clown type of person, then here’s a good prank. Dress up as Santa Claus on Halloween and say phrases like “Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!” This will confuse people about what occasion it is. And encourage your friend to dress up as Rudolph so they can say, “Oh deer, did y’all not realize it’s December 25 today?”
The Spotlight Taker who saves the day
For those who, unfortunately, have a long lecture to attend on October 31, I have a solution for you and your homies. Have a conversation with your professor to get to know their interests, and dress up as their favourite character so they’ll spend the whole lecture talking about how awesome your costume is! That might even lead to the professor ending the lecture early due to the excitement of Halloween. It’s worth a try, ain’t it?
The Guilt Exposer
I sense that some people previously wrote to Peakie for advice but didn’t take Peakie’s input seriously and gradually forgot about those words of wisdom. So, dress up as Peakie’s envelope from Dear Peakie (IYKYK), go talk to the people who’ve written to Peakie before and ask them how their life has been going ever since their questions were answered. Look at the guilty reactions of those who forgot about Peakie’s advice. (By the way, Peakie will tell you who to find).
“Dat Boi” who’s never late
If you struggle with being fast, dress up as the meme with the green frog riding a unicycle, also known as Dat Boi. That way, you’ll be equipped with an extra wheel to help you get to places twice as fast! Just think about how much more candy you’ll end up with than regular kids who travel by foot from door to door.
