Pulp took classic Halloween costumes and updated them with a college twist. Each costume is do-it-yourself and can be made within 10 minutes. They can be as simple as ripping up a white T-shirt or making a quick trip to Salvation Army. These costumes are easy and creepy, and will help you have a stress-free Halloweekend.
Models: Vampire Sean Lamble, Grim Reaper Simon Abranowicz, Shining Twins Maya Champion, Natalia Forsey, Zombie Nina Bracey

Tips
Choose your partner wisely. The more similar you two look, the better the costume will be.
1
Step one:
Purchase a nightgown from a thrift shop and cut the excess material so the gown hits a few inches above the knee.
2
Step two:
Use a paintbrush or your hands to spread red paint on the nightgown. Spread out the paint to make the blood stains look real.
3
Step three:
Measure the pink ribbon around your waist and cut. Leave extra room to tie a big bow in front.
4
Step four:
White knee-high socks and black boots complete the twins' look. You can also substitute the boots with black ballerina flats.
