Best QUICK Halloween Costumes

Heading to a Halloween party this year, but don’t want to break the bank?

Whether you’re heading to a Halloween party, office get-together, or family costume party this year, and either don’t want to break the bank or just don’t have the energy for an elaborate costume, these quick fits are here to save the day!

Bobby Football

Not to be confused with “Johnny Football”, former Cleveland Browns “star” QB, Johnny Manziel, Bobby Football is everyone’s favorite ambiguous high school football player! A costume that works with ANY jersey paired with a football, relive your glory years on the gridiron as the guy who definitely didn’t peak in high school! Add in a cheap cloth knee brace for added realism, make sure you let people know you could’ve gone pro if it wasn’t for your bum knee!

Third Street Saint

Got an article of purple clothing? You’re in! The infamous Third Street Saints from the Saints Row Series are a gang who run the streets of Stilwater (and it’s with one L bitch!) draped in their iconic royal purple color! Be it a jersey, tank top, puffer coat, or even just a bandana, the Third Street Saints welcome all new recruits, so long as you aren’t afraid to be canonized.

DB Cooper

A heavy hitter for any costume contest, show out as the elusive DB Cooper! Not much is known about DB Cooper outside his plane jacking, bank robbing, disappearing lore, to the point where his identity is still unknown 54 years later due to the lack of description surrounding the man’s appearance. What’s known: He held a briefcase, had black sunglasses, and likely a suit. So if you’ve got a suitcase lying around, or a couple of bucks for Goodwill, you can bring a face to this name!

Rick Allen (Def Leppard)

Def Leppard’s Rick Allen famously lost an arm in a car accident but continued to drum—and became one of rock’s most inspiring musicians. This costume is equal parts funny, iconic, and respectful if done right.

All you need is a Def Leppard shirt (they sell them everywhere—seriously, even Walmart’s got you covered), jeans, and a pair of drumsticks. Tuck one arm inside your shirt, tie off the empty sleeve, and boom—you’re a rock god. Add a blonde wig and maybe a little 80s eyeliner for accuracy.

You’ll get laughs, respect, and maybe a few karaoke requests for Pour Some Sugar on Me.

Is COVID-19 From Spirit Halloween?

Like clockwork, as it begins to grow colder outside Spirit Halloween stores begin popping up all over the nation. The popular seasonal retailer makes its home in the empty husk of department stores past. It seems with every passing year Spirit Halloween gains more and more traction growing larger in both size and reach. In this life it would appear there are in fact three things certain: Death, Taxes, And Spirit Halloween finding an abandon building to pedal it’s wears.

Between the years of 2017 and 2019 the American economy began flourishing in ways that hadn’t been seen in several years prior. With a 2.1 GPD increase in the final quarter of 2019, according to bea.gov, business in the US was strong. Now at this point you may be asking yourself, just what does the GDP have to do with Spirit Halloween, or even COVID-19 for that matter? Well it’s simple really, what is the only company that could possibly be harmed by a steady American economy, that’s right Spirit Halloween. Spirit Halloween thrives on the opportunity of moving into the buildings of businesses that have gone under. Meaning if the economy is stable and businesses are able to stay afloat, this poses a threat for the future of Spirit Halloween. Seeing this to be a career threatening issue, is it so unreasonable to think the higher ups at Spirit we’re willing to go to any depths necessary to ensure their future.

Since the introduction of the COVID-19 virus to The United States in late 2019 and through the first quarter of 2020, the GDP has dropped 5%. With an estimated 7.5 million small businesses facing the risk of shutting down (CNBC) Spirit Halloween’s location selection is looking ripe for the picking. Now how would a company such as Spirit Halloween go about being able to cover up such a massive pandemic,why by turning to what they know of course, bats. The initial story reported regarding the discovery of COVID-19 involved the consumption of a bat, otherwise recognizable as an icon of Halloween culture and commonly used influence for Spirit Halloween.

In a world full of uncertainty, panic, and speculation it would seem the only company in a better place coming out of the pandemic this coming fall would be Spirit Halloween. They may not have started or created the virus, but it would appear they have too much steak in the matter to not even be considered a possible link to the COVID-19 outbreak.
