As a kid, Halloween costumes are planned months in advance, but now they are the last thing we think about. However, dressing up can still be fun as we get older. In this article you will find a list of Halloween costumes that are easy and fun to bring back the spirit of Halloween.

You can find the mannequin head on amazon and use any large sweatshirt around the house. Once you have the materials for the costume, just put the mannequin head in the hood of the sweatshirt on top of your head and your costume is ready for Halloween!

Ghost costume: If you have gotten to the point where you have no clue what to be, this costume is just for you. Grab an old sheet and cut holes for your eyes and mouth.
