1. Zombie
One of the most popular costumes for Halloween and relatively easily done with a torn shirt and pants and a decent bit of make-up. Photo: Paulus N. Rusyanto

3. Ghost
Definitely the easiest costume to make. White sheet, scissors. Job done. Photo: JK2507 - stock.adobe.com
4. The Grim Reaper
You could pull this one off with a big, black, hooded dressing gown and a (plastic) scythe. Photo: Jakub Krechowicz
5. Voodoo lady
