That's not crazy - that's brilliant! And he did it all himself. I am impressed. Especially that a 14 year old knew what a drive-in theatre WAS.

Tada..."What do you think of my halloween costume..?"

My son is going as a "drive-in movie theater"! LOL. He made a huge
diorama complete with little matchbox cars, trees, big screen...etc.
It is a placard to attach to the front of him.
Hysterical!! I love it. What a cool kid you've got there I hope you take pictures!

for those last minute costume makers, the today show just had some good ideas:

woman took poster board, placed post-it notes on it and wore it like a sandwich board, tied a red ribbon in her hair and one around her finger. had on a black turtle neck and black pants underneath.

man had on grey sweatsuit on which he had written "30 rock" in rocks on the top. woman was dressed in grey and had an anatomy sandwich board-she was grey's anatomy.

but my favorite one was "wonder bread woman". woman had medium blue shorts and sleeveless top on. she made the wonder woman headband out of posterboard and aluminum foil. cut star shapes out of bread and pinned them to the top. took wonder bread wrappers and used them as trim on the arm holes and as wrist bands.

Ok, I'm trying to picture this but can't figure out -- what is she?

Other easy-to-make last-minute ones are: dress all in green, cut out construction paper "p"s and attach them all over you, put black makeup in a big circle around one eye, you're a "black-eyed pea"; get a package of those mini-cereal boxes, empty them, pierce them with plastic knives (some red paint for added effect is nice), attach them to your shirt, carry one big cereal box with a big knife, you're a "serial killer" (my husband was a big hit at a party one time when I put this together for him).
