FROM: lifestyle.msn.com

Never got around to buying that Morticia Addams ensemble? Harness the Halloween spirit with a kooky (but not creepy) look that you can pull together in a snap, snap.

By Andra Chantim and Julia Edelstein

Ceiling Fan

Ready? Ok! Use adhesive letters (or masking tape) to spell go ceiling! On a shirt. Carry pom-poms or mopheads. Short pleated skirt optional.

Iron Chef

Wear a chef’s hat ($7, cheftools.com) or an apron and hold an iron. Bonus points if a friend dresses as your (orange-clogged) competition: Mario Batali

Fork in the Road

Wear black. Using white duct tape, make a line of dashes (your lane lines) that begins at one ankle and ends at your collar. Fasten a fork along the route.

Split P

Cut out a large p from a piece of colored construction paper, then cut it in half. Tape it to your hoodie so that the zipper appears to slice through it.

Bottleneck

Grab an empty bottle from the recycling bin. Tie a string around its neck, then loop it around yours. Complain all night about “traffic on the 501.”

Pumpkin Pi

Dress in orange. Cut out a pi symbol from black paper (or print one out; type option + p) and tape it to your shirt. Look infinitely more festive.

Buccaneer

Tape a $1 bill to each of your ears. Now you’ve got a buck an ear.

Self-Portrait

Carry a large, empty picture frame (minus the glass) and hold it in front of your face.

Tickled Pink

Dress from head to toe in rose or fuchsia. Accessorize with a feather boa.

Cat Out of the Bag

Wear cat ears. Hold an empty bag or pillowcase. Purr-fection!
