There are mere days left until Halloween, and you're still scrambling for a costume that reflects your savvy Movieline-reading film knowledge?

Movieline's staff have culled a litany of costume ideas for you, inspired by indie art films and big Hollywood hits alike, either from this year at the movies or from the future. Dive in to find the greatest relevant Halloween costume ideas of the year!
Contagion Jude Law
How ghetto was Jude Law's self-made biohazard suit in Steven Soderbergh's Contagion? So ghetto that you can easily craft a copycat costume from materials already in your home! All you need are medical/dishwashing gloves/oven mits and clear plastic bags. But be careful -- you could easily out-costume Law's onscreen get-up (or asphyxiate) and that would not be fun. Remember, the genius of this costume is that it would never protect anyone against a virus that kills within 24 hours. Extra credit if you pass out fliers, find a pair of crooked fake teeth and can figure out a way to drink all night without removing your bag helmet. - Julie Miller

Cheap, easy and effective: Just get a shag wig and a down parka, and then anytime someone asks who you are, just shout back, "Can I talk to her? Where is she?! WHAT HAPPENED TO HER???" - S.T. VanAirsdale
Bryce Dallas Howard in The Help
Another easy-peasy movie costume idea! Hit up a vintage store for a period sheath. Do your hair up like a good '60s housewife. Smudge a bit of chocolate fudge on your mouth, and walk around all night holding a piece of chocolate pie murmuring crazypants ideas about social propriety. - Jen Yamato
Girl group outfit time! Find matching pink godawful bridesmaids dresses; don your best stankfaces. Bring Brazilian BBQ carry-out. Pop a squat in midday traffic. Accessorize with puppies and girl talk. - JY
Bernie the Gorilla in Zookeeper
But what you really want to be is everyone's favorite T.G.I. Friday's-obsessed gorilla from the only movie to ever feature a T.G.I. Friday's-obsessed gorilla. Right? The good news is that the costume is easy: Just locate a novelty gorilla costume, an XXL lime-green polo shirt and a T.G.I. Friday's menu. (Movieline does not condone chain restaurant menu theft but it does condone precise Halloween costumes based on characters from Happy Madison productions.) The bad news is that you might sweat through the fur. Bonus points if you can keep up a Nick Nolte-style rasp and then end the night by sharing your innermost secrets with a zookeeper (or friend dressed like a Zookeeper) while reclining on the top of a stolen van. - JM
