Back in the day, before our time, Halloween was a scary holiday. The neighborhood streets were filled with terrifyingly realistic zombies, creepy witches and haunting ghouls knocking on strangers’ doors and asking for candy. The scarier your costume was, the cooler you were.
That’s not how things work anymore. Skip forward to present day, and all you see walking the streets on October 31st are the latest Disney princesses, any of the seemingly hundreds of fashionable vampires gracing the silver screen lately, and a game of thrones character or two. The script has flipped, and now the success of your Halloween costume is measured by wit and its relevance to popular culture.
We here at Village Toyota, your hometown Toyota dealer near Crystal River, know the struggle of coming up with last minute Halloween costume ideas and the pressure that comes with it. That is why we have put together this short list of awesome, low-cost costume ideas that you can use alone or with a group of your friends.
Suicide Squad
Suicide Squad has been one of the most widely publicized feature films of the last decade, and the film’s cast of loveable villains could not be more perfectly suited for the upcoming holiday. The most popular costume will almost undoubtedly be Harley Quinn with her playful attitude and easily replicated outfit, but if you can get the whole team together, you will be sure to be the talk of your Halloween party.

Emoji’s
Movies are a great source of inspiration for Halloween costumes; the only problem is that the costumes that are good enough to be a hit will likely be replicated by other clever party-goers. This means that in order to be original, you must also think outside of the box. A good Halloween costume will be easily recognizable and accurately portrayed. What better fits this criteria than the iPhone Emoji’s that we use on a daily basis?
With a few generic clothing items from your local GoodWill and a prop or two, you can be anything from the two girls with bunny ears, to the dancing woman, to the running man and everything in between.
Pokémon Go
The Pokémon Go craze that has been sweeping the nation for the past four months provides us with yet another quality costume opportunity. Whether you want to keep things simple and go as popular Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum, or if you’d like to spice things up and go as Pikachu himself you can’t go wrong.
If you really want to step things up you can involve a friend or two and mix in trainers with Pokémon and the photo opportunities would be endless.
NWA
Another one of the blockbuster hits of 2016 offers costume ideas that are perhaps the easiest and most affordable to replicate and is perfect for (or dependent on) multiple participants. Straight Outta Compton made a huge splash in the box office during its release in early 2016 as it portrayed the rise and fall of rap icons Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Mc Ren, DJ Yella, The D.O.C. and Arabian Prince.

The group was notorious for their all black outfits and their rebellious persona, which means that all you need is an attitude, some Oakland Raiders gear, and six friends to pull off this gem of a costume.
Snapchat Filters
If you are under the age of 35, chances are you are all too familiar with SnapChat and the app’s many memorable filters. Girls cannot seem to get over the dog filter, while the rainbow throw-up filter is a timeless classic. Taking these filters out of the phone and physically applying them to the real world would be a dynamite Halloween costume, and the only dressing up you would have to do is on your face!
Don’t over-think it, a simple makeup job or a small mask should do the trick, and if you want to put in a little bit more effort you could even create a cardboard cutout resembling the App’s interface for good measure.
