There are lots of ideas out there for Halloween costumes. But sometimes the best costume idea is one that lets you be your favorite character (or your worst nightmare). In that spirit, Mahalo’s How To department offers these helpful costume ideas:

Indiana Jones Costume: Slap on a fedora, slip on a leather jacket, and grab a bullwhip. It’s time to save the world, and get that precious treasure to a museum.

Freddy Krueger Costume: Paint a red sweater with green strips; get a fedora (preferably very used); use cardboard, paper mache, or duct tape to make a bladed glove; apply scary makeup for Freddy’s toasted complexion. Nightmare commences!

There are many more classic costumes out there: robots, elves, mummies, aliens, and more. You can make any of them yourself, so don’t let anything stop you from dressing up for Halloween!
