BONUS: Put a last-minute costume together!
Halloween is all about imagination and creativity, so why not rummage through your closet and pull that old striped shirt to good use as your best Freddy Krueger approximation? Break your music festival flower crown out early in an improvised Midsommar outfit or put your makeup skills to the test with a Frankenstein-inspired look.
