Before the tips, a quip:

“I see my face in the mirror and go, ‘I’m a Halloween costume? That’s what they think of me?’” asks Drew Carey.

You could wear a Drew Carey costume – or you could be the future Drew Carey with the old man mask! Click on the old guy’s head for more info about that costume.

And, read on for hundreds of ideas for easy Halloween costumes for men…

Men’s Halloween Costumes


Action Figure or Superhero Still in the Box: Get a large sheet of cardboard big enough to fold around your back and sides. For the front, use a clear shower curtain with holes or a slit cut into it so you can reach out. Then paint the box, attach accessories to the inside and elastic straps for yourself, and dress up as whatever action figure you want to be!

Alien Host: Attach an alien doll to your midsection. Cut a hole in the middle of your clothes so it looks like the alien is bursting through your stomach. Splatter fake blood around the hole.

Alien in Disguise: Wear a trench coat or a long coat. Make some fake antennae out of Styrofoam balls, pipe cleaners, and a headband.

Anthrax Investigator: Wear a gas mask, a long yellow overcoat, and white gloves. Or, this easy Halloween costume for men could be a Swine Flu Investigator.

Ants In Your Pants: Wear a extra large pair of jeans (over boxer shorts) and hold them up with suspenders. Buy a bag of plastic ants and hotglue them to your underwear and to the lower part of your shirt (so it looks like they are crawling out of your pants).

Attack Dog Trainer: Take a stuffed dog and sew it to the arm of a long-sleeved shirt so it looks like it is biting you. Wear a name tag (“Bob’s Attack Dog School). Add blood and scratches all over your body.

“B” Keeper: Carry several bags filled with “B”s cut out of construction paper.

Baseball Card: Find a poster of a baseball player (the face should be approximately the size of your face). Glue it to a large piece of cardboard and cut a hole for your face to stick through. Attach straps so it hangs over your shoulders. Add your name and a team name. If you want you can add another piece of cardboard to your back with statistics.

Basket Case: Uniform colored clothing (dark works best) with lots of baskets pinned all over. Top it off with a basket with a handle on your head.

Birthday Suit: Get a pre-packaged birthday kit (tablecloth, hats, plates). Cut a hole in the center of the tablecloth for your head. Staple plates, cups, napkins, etc., on the tablecloth. Put a birthday hat on your head. When someone asks what you are, tell them you are wearing your birthday suit.





Blind Date: Take a day of the week calendar and tape the days all over your body. Throw on a pair of sunglasses and get a cane and you’re all set to go.

Blind Referee: Dress like a referee, wear dark glasses and carry a white cane.

Blind Tennis Player: Wear tennis clothes with dark glasses and a blind man’s cane. Cut several tennis balls in half and attach them all over your body. Add bruises, bloody marks, etc.

Blood Sucking Attorney: Dress in business suit, and carry a brief case. Wear vampire makeup and fake vampire teeth. Pass out business cards that say “B. Sucking, Attorney-at-Law.”

Blue Moon: Buy a fake “rear end” from a costume store. Wear all blue and cut the bottom out so your fake rear shows through.

Bob’s Big Boy: Make an oversized hamburger with paper mache. Wear white overalls painted with red checks, steel toe work boots, and gel your hair up to a point and droop to the side.

Bonfire: Wrap a brown towel around your waist and wear a brown or gray sweatshirt. Attach branches or twigs to the towel and put a few marshmallows on the branches. Create “flames” by using orange,red and yellow tissue paper surrounding your head. Color your cheeks red.

Born to Be Wild: Dress like a baby (diaper, bonnet, bib, rattle), then add a leather jacket, bandana and boots.

Brain Donor: Get a hospital gown, blacken both eyes and wrap your head in gauze with some fake blood spots. Get a clear jar, put small amount of water in the jar with some cauliflower. On the front of the jar put a big label that says “Brain Donor.”

Bright Person: Wear clothes with bright colors, and bright make-up. Hang battery-powered clear Christmas lights around yourself. This easy Halloween costume for men requires a graduation cap and several diplomas.

Bubblegum Machine: Gray sweat suit, a clear garbage bag and a bag of small, round balloons, a  ribbon long enough to tie around your neck and a red ball cap. Cut holes in garbage bag for arms and legs. While wearing the garbage bag, fill it with the balloons. Tie the top closed around your neck (don’t choke yourself now!) with the ribbon of your choice and top with the red ball cap.

Buccaneer: Dress in a pirate costume and attach a dollar to each ear (“buck-an-ear”). This creative Halloween costume for men comes premade — just click the image!

Bum: Wear dirty, mismatched clothes, high water pants, and suspenders. Color your nose red and carry a bottle of “something” in a brown paper bag.

Burned Out: Carefully burn some holes in a white work shirt. Use make-up to put dark circles under your eyes. Wear frazzled, bed-head hair. (This is a “unique Hallowen costume” that many women wear regularly!)

    Lots of great Ideas for unique and quick Halloween costumes! Very creative. I have an old bunny costume. Maybe I’ll try the dust bunny idea.
    Thanks

  2. Any suggestion for a costume for a really tall guy?

  3. Malcolm says:

    It’s only July, and my wife wants me to start thinking about Halloween costumes. Grrr.

  4. I’ve heard that a popular Halloween costume for men is Michael Jackson. Don’t you think that’s in poor taste? I do.

  5. Thanks for the quick instant Halloween costume for men idea, James.

    Cadell, I’ve never worn a scooter costume….or even heard of one! If anyone else has, please describe how he can make one for Halloween…

  6. James says:

  7. Cadell says:

    If I could dress up like a scooter for Halloween, I would. I don’t know how that would work as a Halloween costume but that’s what I want to go as.

    Has anyone worn a scooter costume?

  8. Harry Monsta says:

    Thanks for these ideas, they’re great.

  9. I’m not quite sure how to answer your question about looking different from others at Halloween! I thought these Halloween costumes were already really different…

    There is a second half to this article, called Easy Halloween Costumes for Men – Part 2. Maybe a costume in that article will be different enough — and let you be the center of attention at the Halloween party! :-)

    Hi,

    Thanks for sharing such a beautiful variety of costumes. I liked the Halloween party ideas, too. I usually have a blast at Halloween parties.

    Could you suggest how I can look different from others? It would be really helpful. I like to dress up at such occasion and like to get the attention of people.
