Simple Halloween Costumes for when Halloween Sneaks up on You

Not everyone joyfully jumps in headfirst to take part in all the gruesome festivities of Halloween. Some people feel that it's just too much trouble going and getting a costume, making themselves up and going all the way to friends and parties. Sometimes, all they want to do is to put a jack-o'-lantern on the porch maybe hang a witch’s hat off the front door and buy lots of candy for kids who come by trick-or-treating. However, these "leave me alone" plans don't often work out. Often, there's a friend who turns up who tells you that you just can't miss all the fun. This kind of scene plays out on every street in every town across the country. The question is of course, where do you get a Halloween costume at the last minute?
