Whether for Halloween or other dress up occasions, here are ideas for

costumes that are so easy it’s scary.



Yes, cosplay is an art. You
can spend forever making
seriously cool dress ups from
scratch (look up incredibly
versatile, insanely talented
cosplayer Alyson Tabbitha to
see what we mean). But this
is for the gals who want to
head out trick or treating and
have minimum time to make
maximum impact. Every
easy costume is based on Malefi c„nt
A) things you might already
have around your house plus Start with an all-black base. Do you have a long dress you can dye?
B) a dash of imagination and Can you search an op shop? Is there something unwanted in Mum’s
C) a pinch of creativity… closet that you can customise (we’re guessing the main problem is
going to be length). For Malefi cent’s horns, try a headband plus the
shape of the horns cut out of black cardboard (punch holes, then
wind black ribbon through to attach. Gets the job done! Find an
excellent, free template at craftymarie.com). Horns are too hard?
The same black base plus green costume makeup will help if you just
want to be a regular witch – let your hair go wild.

Use the words in the list below to create your own spooky story.
Make it as silly or scary as you like!




One Saturday afternoon, I _____________ to the park with my pet ___________. His name is ___________ and
he’s so _____________.


We were almost there when suddenly, a _____________ ____________ appeared out of nowhere and my pet
_____________ raced after it! “Wait, come back!” I yelled. But he was too quick.


I chased him through the dark ______________ woods. Oh no, I thought, these are no ordinary woods; these woods

are filled with ______________ creatures. The cold, damp air sent a chill down my spine. Where are you?

I was totally spooked, but then I saw a… clearing! I ______________ through the trees and _____________ up the steep
hill. Footprints… he must have been here.


At the top of the hill was a big haunted ______________, covered in old _____________ vines. This can’t be good.
The front door creaked open. I slowly _____________ inside.


“Is anyone there?” Whoosh. Was that a ghost?! I fell back and screamed, “Arggghh!”


I turned to the left and a ____________ ___________ staggered towards me. To my right was a __________ ____________.
My heart raced. The next thing I knew, a ________ voice yelled, “Will somebody please turn on the lights!”


The giant hall lit up, chandeliers were hanging from the ceiling and… balloons? This was no haunted ____________;
this was a surprise costume party! A friendly ____________ explained that they were waiting for the birthday
____________ to arrive. I followed her to the snack table and there was my pet ____________ excited to see me.
What a night!

Did medieval times shape
modern ideas of what a

witch is like? Maybe…


Quick, picture a witch. Pointy hat?
Broomstick? Cat companion?
Yep! Interestingly enough, it’s
believed real medieval women who
brewed beer at home could be the
template for our ideas of a witchy
woman to this day. Back then, a lot
of women brewed at home (they
were sometimes called ‘alewives’).
Picture a woman, maybe middle-
aged, bent over a simmering
cauldron. Her cat chases mice
away from her grain storage; she
wears a tall hat to stand out in
busy marketplaces; and her broom
helps her sweep and signals to
others when set outside that
she’s got a delish brew on the
