Dressing as any of the characters from the El Chavo del Ocho television series is game!

Halloween costumes for the show’s El Chavo, La Chilindrina, Quico, Don Ramon, Dona Florinda, and La Bruja del 71 characters can all be created using outgrown clothing pieces and every day items such as hair rollers (Doña Florinda), a tight black t-shirt and fitted jeans (Don Ramon), or below-the-knee shorts and a striped t-shirt (El Chavo).

Rock a Mexican wrestler costume

All you need is an outgrown t-shirt, white knee length socks, tore up sneakers, a pillowcase for a cape, and a pair of leggings.

 

And who can resist the Tapatio hot sauce guy?

All you need is a big sombrero, a mustache and a mariachi outfit. Yes, because everyone and their mommas owns a mariachi suit.

JuanGa or Willy Wonka, of course!

With their recent passing these two beloved character will be among the most popular to parade at this year’s Santa Monica Halloween Festival, don’t you think?

Cool picks!

An 80’s aerobic instructor, a giant baby, and “no costume guy” are other quick DIY alternatives that don’t require a great budget.

Avoid the typical:

Dressing as the opposite sex, embracing your inner hippie, living up to your “chola” reputation, Harley Quinn, doing an homage to Britney Spears gone cray-cray, or letting the skeletons out of your closet and dressing as your true self:  kitty cat or super hero.

If any of those options don’t work for you, you can always drape yourself from head to toe in a blue Snuggie, paint your face blue and call it a day.
