1) Luke Cage, Marvel’s Luke Cage
Well , obviously . All you need is a hoodie with cakehole make out in it , and you ’re beneficial to go .

2) The Byers’ Living Room, Stranger Things
There are going to be zillions of football team running around — and that ’s a costume you could DIY well , if you have fourth dimension to do a thrift - computer memory crawl trying to score a pinkish babe - doll garb . You could do Barb ( dead or alert , depending on your make - up still — thoughif you ’re talented enough to pull off Dead Barb , you probably do n’t demand a last - minute Halloween approximation ) . You could also be Joyce , as seen in this smear - on cosplay effigy .
But the guy dress as the wall o ’ Light has the dear idea yet . All you need is a shirt that looks like fugly wallpaper , decorated with an alphabet that looks like it was scribble by a desperate mother whose kid has dead vanished into a parallel dimension . Add the Christmas lights and voila .
3) Newt Scamander, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Obviously , the Harry Potter prequel star has a very typical outfit which , unless you have a very specific style of bowtie , you ca n’t match . But most dark colored jackets will pass for Newt ’s dark blue , and he also wear a scarf in many of the cinema ’s promotional shots , which should grant you to get way with anything mistily dressy underneath the coating , peculiarly if you keep it button . Get a briefcase , flip your hair over your eye , and add a Matt Smith belief , and expecto costume .
4) Felicity Smoak, Arrow
This one also requires minimum rummaging beyond workaday attire . You ’ll need substantial crank , a smart shirt and wench , a ponytail , a tab ( very of import ! ) and to pretend you derive to the company with a vested interest ( while in world , spending the full dark browsing Twitter and ignoring everyone).Take to Tumblrif you ask further inspiration — thisfan - favoritecharacter is more versatile than you realize .
5) Pre-Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange
While the easiest Doctor Strange costume would be to get a operative mask and pair of scouring , the latter are n’t exactly something you’re able to foot up at the local Walgreens . The next best thing : Dress in a gracious suit , get ( or draw ) an impossibly sharp goatee , and wrap your men in several dozen foot of medical gauze . Then tell everyone you ’re simply recover from a auto accident .
6) Basically Anyone from The Walking Dead
Wear any outfit you want , but swan it in the soil for approximately 15 minutes . Stop washing your hair from this point forward ; maybe consider putting some sort of vegetable oil in it if it does n’t have the necessary oiliness by the clock time your Halloween company arrives . Splatter yourself generously with phony blood ( it ’s the one Halloween costume supplying literally every computer storage should have in fund until November , but red intellectual nourishment color and some kind of maize sirup will do the same whoremaster ) .
7) Clara, Doctor Who
Companion Clara is perfect for last - minute of arc costume intake because she dresses in normal clothes most of the sentence . bring a headstone , perchance the sonic screwdriver in your pocket ( here’show to make one out of a pen and a few other thing ) , and then pass the evening asking citizenry if they ’ve seen the Doctor anywhere .
8) Bruce Banner, The Hulk
You really demand only two items for this costume : 1 ) a couple of pants you do n’t mind ruin and 2 ) the willingness to walk around without a shirt on . edit out the legs off your pant / slacks of choice , making certain to permit the ends look as shattered as potential . Put on knickers . Boom , you ’ve just transformed from the Hulk into Bruce Banner If you may get your hands on some purple dye at a nearby craft store like Michael ’s or Hobby Lobby , so much the better .
9) Dolores, Westworld
This one ’s a little dodgy , but appease with us . Obviously , not many of you are go to have a frumpy , idle blue country dress , which is the cyborg horde ’s more iconic outfit . However , she ’s also been espy wearing the get - up above in previous trailers and promo materials , and should make its debut in this Sunday ’s episode . It ’s a striped button - down shirt , belt , jeans , and rush , which should be staples in many closet . Complete the outfit with a toy dog six-gun , a mainstay of the cheap toy aisles in grocery fund and pharmacies everywhere . If the great unwashed do n’t recognize you as the star of Westworld , shoot them with your toy hitman , calculate baffled and dismayed when it does n’t harm them , and run off screaming something about how guest of the park ca n’t be killed .
10) Elliot, Mr. Robot
This one ’s even easier than Luke Cage — just a sinister hoodie . No holes necessitate . Backpack with laptop partially sticking out of it optional but commend .

Bonus) Nada, They Live
Okay , this one is n’t timely , break it ’s from John Carpenter 1987 magnum opus They experience , but it ’s too cool not to share . Leave the alien ghoul outfits ( likethis amazing example ) to people who started making their costumes back in March . It ’ll take much less time and effort to trifle Rowdy Roddy Piper ’s fibre — all you need is a blue plaid shirt , maybe a mullet wigging if you may snag one , and most importantly , a twain of sunglasses — but the ending result is no less gang - pleasing . This fair sex ’s decision to grab a pack of bubble gingiva to complete the ensemble is truly A+ attending to detail .
