The good old toga costume. Everyone has sheets, so just wrap a sheet around you toga-style and pin it in place. Wear sandals - gladiator sandals if you have them - and cut a branch of some type of leaves from the garden for a wreath of "laurels" on your head. Just make sure the plant you pick isn't poison oak or this last minute Halloween costume will leave memories for a while!Incorporate bathrobes. For men, wear pajama pants and a bathrobe and carry a martini glass around: you're Hugh Hefner!

Some last minute Halloween costumes can be witty. Use makeup to create a black eye and pin a big white letter "P" on to a black shirt and -- voila -- you're a Black Eyed "P." Get a rubber pig snout from a party supply store and wrap yourself in a blanket and you're a Pig in a Blanket.Be a load of laundry. A great last minute Halloween costume for anyone who owns clothing: gather up some of those clothes which are lying all over your floor anyway and pin them to the clothes you are wearing. Add a couple of dryer sheets in random places and you're a load of laundry that just came out of the dryer.Use aluminum foil. If you have enough aluminum foil in the house, it can be used for a variety of last minute Halloween costumes. Wrap yourself or your child in aluminum foil and you have a baked potato or a burrito, depending on the style of wrapping. Cover some boxes in aluminum foil and put them over your arms, legs, and middle and you can be a robot. None of these last minute Halloween costumes take much time, just a lot of aluminum foil.

Raid your closet. Many women have old bridesmaid dresses that they'll never use again -- here's the perfect opportunity to wear them! For this last minute Halloween costume, either wear the bridesmaid dress alone or with a crown to be a princess or with running shoes to be a runaway bride. ...
