The Original Duct Tape Halloween Book
Unfortunately, most Halloween costumes have become a bit stale — that's why we're getting this year's ideas from The Original Duct Tape Halloween Book ($9). Equal parts hilarious and inventive, you'll find plenty of costume ideas, like "Shaving Accident Guy," "Floor of a Movie Theater" and "Batty-Chia Pet," all of which can be made on the cheap with a little work and everyone's favorite grey sticky helper. Along with the costumes, you get ideas for decorating, pranks, and treats, and an excuse to buy more Duct Tape than most folks will ever need.
