Halloween falls on a Friday this year, woohoo! That means nobody has an excuse to not go out, so the costume competition will likely be pretty stiff this year. Show everyone up with these super-complicated, very well-thought-out and totally serious costume ideas that are inspired by Sewanee. Bonus: they don’t cost a penny, because you know you’re going to spend all your money on booze anyways.
1. Sexy Gownsman A gown…and nothing else.
3. Frat Sludge Just roll around in dirt and take a shower in beer.
4. Deer Put on a pair of antlers and be everyone’s favorite woodland creature!
5. Beer Just wrap yourself in empty Natty Lite boxes. Make sure to drink all the beer in them first… it’s pregaming and costume-making all at once!Â
6. Walsh Corgis A fun group idea! You and your friends put on floppy dog ears and tails and prance around campus as everyone’s favorite academic building pooches.
7. State Schooler An oversized jersey or tacky camo…or both…and heels.
 8. Sewanee Angel The angel is a classic Halloween costume, so Sewaneefy it by making mini-gates out of cardboard and gluing them to both sides of a headband, so it looks like you’re an angel at the gates. Only downside is if everyone tries to tap you all night (or that could be a good thing, if you’re into that sort of thing).

9. Pile of Leaves The beautiful fall leaves are great for more than just Instagramming. Go out and gather a bunch of leaves and tape them all over your body for a fun and easy costume!
10. Wifi The easiest costume yet. Like Sewanee Secure, just don’t even show up anywhere. Â
