You keep it easy, and that is a strength. A ghost costume fits because it is the most relaxed costume there is, and with a little care it is also one of the funniest.
The classic sheet with eye holes still works. Add one joke (sunglasses, a coffee cup, a “boo” sign) and it goes from last-minute to on purpose.
Why it’s you
- You like an easy night
- Masters of the quiet exit
- Scary movies through your fingers
- Low effort, high payoff
How to make it
- +Take an old white sheet (one you won’t use again)
- +Try it on and mark the eyes with a pen, then cut small holes
- +Trim the bottom so it stops at your ankles and you can walk
- +Add a joke: sunglasses, a hat, a sign or a takeaway coffee
- +Wear white or grey underneath in case you want to take it off
Tips
- !Cut the eye holes bigger than you think; you need to see stairs
- !A “sheet ghost” photo shoot in a field is a big trend for pictures
Group or couple version
A whole group of sheet ghosts with different props, or a ghost and a “ghost hunter” with a torch and a notebook.
For fun. Costume ideas only; check your school’s, office’s or venue’s rules about masks, make-up and props before you go.
