The countdown is on, Halloween is nearly here. You should have your costume ready to go… right?

Not necessarily so. And you may not have any fresh ideas, either.

If you’re a guy and still don’t have a costume to wear to the college Halloween party or an after-work Halloween bash, what can you do? Not much is left at the costume rental stores, and you really want something cool, memorable, but frugal for Halloween. Nothing that will break the bank, since so many of us are on strict budgets anymore and forking out $50, $100, or more for a costume is out of the question.

No worries, mate. This do-it-yourself Michael Jackson Halloween costume not only looks amazing, but is relatively cheap and easy to make, believe it or not.
