Halloween is right around the corner. Still clueless about your costume? I've done all the leg work and have comprised another list of literary Halloween costumes that won't break the bank but will make your all your friends dressed as zombies, vampires, and sexy cats green with envy.
In honor of New Moon and the Twilight phenomenon why not dress up as a crazed Twilight fan? Make a t-shirt that says "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob," carry around a battered copy of Breaking Dawn, and scream, "Robert Pattinson is so dreamy." Or you could dress up as a Twilight hater.
If you love Stephen King (but don't want to dress like him), get an old, tacky prom dress from Goodwill, dump a jar of tomato sauce on yourself and go as Carrie.
For a truly original costume, try dressing up as Holden Caulfield. You could stumble around half-drunk and call everyone you encounter a "phony."
Love the boy wizard? Go as Harry Potter. All you'll need is a scarf and some wire-rimed glasses.
Looking for a costume for both you and your mate? Why not be original and dress as a cover of "bodice riper?" Ladies will need a corset and a long wig. Men should wear an unbuttoned shirt with their chest exposed (bonus for spray tanning fake abs), boots, and a sword. Other couple costume ideas include Romeo and Juliet, Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy, or Frankenstein and Victor.
A good costume for kids would be to dress up like Max from Where the Wild Things Are.
