No costume? No problem!
Even though Halloween is actually not until Tuesday, conventional wisdom decrees that a vast majority of Halloween parties will take place over the coming weekend. Do you have a costume? Does anyone have a costume? Unless you are one of the small, strange group of people to have planned out this fun but arbitrary holiday in advance, the chances are you have absolutely no idea what to go as and none of the items you need to achieve it.
Thankfully, help is at hand.
With most of the country still reeling from an election year with more suspense, surprises and abject horror than even Wes Craven could conjure, look no further than New Zealand’s politicians for the easy last-minute costumes you can afford.
