Nightmare Before Christmas’ Jack Skellington is an easy, creative, last-minute costume idea to add a mask to. First, you need to find a black or grey blazer and pants. If you don’t have one you should be able to find both items at a thrift store for around $6 each. Paint white stripes on the blazer and pants if you’d like, or use white masking tape if you don’t want to ruin your blazer. Finish off the look with some black eye makeup and a white mask, which you can draw the iconic stitched mouth onto.

If you’re in a pinch this Halloween and need a costume that’s effortless and safe, a classic cat is always a reliable go-to. Just wear all black, grab some ears and you’re ready to go! But this year, instead of painting your face, take an extra plain mask and paint the nose and whiskers on there! There are also plenty of cat face masks to choose from on Amazon.
