Dooneese

Who doesn’t have tiny doll hands, old-fashioned dresses and vampire teeth at their disposal? If this describes you, dress up as Dooneese. Laugh until your stomach hurts, running around touching people inappropriately with your tiny doll hands (assuming your friends are the kind of folks that think that type of thing is funny).

Matt Foley

If you need inspiration for a costume, why not be an inspirational speaker? You’re just a blazer, a pair of dark-rimmed glasses and a few well-memorized quotes (“I live in a van down by the river”) from the perfect Halloween character, Matt Foley.

Church Lady

Well, hello, Satan. Who better to ward of the night’s evil ghouls and goblins than Church Lady? Find a conservative dress, a bad wig and practice saying, “Well, isn’t that special.”

Lunch Lady

If Church Lady isn’t your thing, perhaps you’re more of a Lunch Lady. Who doesn’t have yellow gloves, an apron and some eyeliner (for making a hideous facial mole) lying around the house?

Stefon

If you have an Affliction T-shirt, some hair gel and several rings for your fingers, you’re about five minutes from transforming into Saturday Night Live‘s hilarious Stefon. Take a few minutes to commit some of his more memorable quotes to memory.
