There are those who spend months planning and making Halloween costumes. They are elaborate and well thought out, and the sorts of things that win prizes. Then there are those who cobble together a costume mere hours before a party, often with less than great results. If you are in the latter category, you are in luck. Below are several Halloween costumes that can be made quickly and easily, and you may even have most of what you need for them already.

- Boots
- Grey t-shirt with hammer insignia (can be found on the internet, printed out, and taped or safety-pinned onto shirt)
