Need a last minute Halloween costume?
Don’t let anyone ever tell you you’re too old to dress up for Halloween. In fact, you should be wearing your costume right now, because, really, how often do we get to revisit our childhood? If you left your costume until the last minute (which you probably did) then here are some ideas to get you going. And don’t worry, when you eventually hit full panic mode, you can do what Dane did and use your bedsheet to be a ghost – it’s fail-safe.
Some might call it lazy. Some call it situational awareness. Photo: Instagram
1. Ghost. This is the comfort blanket of Halloween costumes, literally and figuratively. Dane Reynolds just cut a few holes in a bed sheet and hung it over his head. When all else fails, just grab a sheet and you’re good to go.

2. Ronald Reagan. With all the excitement surrounding Point Break 2, you can’t go wrong emulating the original. Now all you have to do is convince your friends to be the other Presidents and you’ve got the whole crew to shred with, just don’t walk by any banks.

3. A Mermaid. Mermaid costumes are not just for women. Just ask Shaun White. If he can pull it off, so can you! Of course, he’s got those flowing locks, but there’s always hair extensions, right?

4. Shark attack victim. Getting attacked by a shark is surfer’s worst nightmare. It’s probably Anastasia Ashley’s, too. You can make up the wildest story possible and no one can doubt it. You have the bite marks to prove it.

5. Werewolf. As if Pipeline wasn’t scary enough, now you have to worry about werewolves. This is JOB, scaring off the tourists. I don’t know about you, but if I saw this flying down the line I’d get out immediately and find a silver bullet.

6. Kiss. An all time classic, Kiss is a go-to Halloween costume for Lakey Peterson. It could be a go-to of yours too. All you need is a trusty friend with a steady hand and a long ass tongue.

7. Silver Surfer. Halloween is all about dressing up and acting like a kid. If being a superhero like the Silver Surfer doesn’t take you back to your childhood, I don’t know what will.
Bonus: Two Dogs Carrying a Present. Is it one dog or does he have a pal helping him out? I’ve been looking at it for a while and I still can’t figure it out. Whatever it is, don’t forget about your favorite four-legged friend this Halloween. They deserve a rad costume too.
