Homer Simpson Halloween Costume

The Homer Simpson Halloween costume is more about getting into character and acting the part than it is about dressing up--which will no doubt thrill you men, especially when you get to act like the cave man that Homer is.

The basics:  Homer is bald with just a couple sprigs of hair sticking up. So, either shave your head, leaving a few sprigs on top or purchase a cheap bald-wig. It's just a form fitting head piece to hide your hair. For those of you who are already bald, you can skip this step.

A white pull over shirt with a collar that fits snugly over your front beer belly, with a slight belly-button view is perfect. If you lack the adorable chubby belly Homer has acquired, you can try stuffing.  Add blue pants with bottoms rolled up and some sort of black colored clunky shoes (like Romeos). You could also go in one of the many other sorts of costumes Homer has been disgraced in, however you might want to consider the chill factor of the party location first.

Homer in polka-dot boxers. Homer in a white wife-beater tank top and his whitey-tighty underwear. Homer wearing a kids swimming safety ring and not much else...all qualify.  Use the cheap, fake tan spray to achieve the yellow glowing skin all the Simpson family members are known for. Then, using face paint, color in a brown oval area surrounding your entire mouth. For the eyes you could use white face paint and draw large circles around each of your eyes.

Now, this part is all about character and truly makes Homer--well, Homer. And perhaps you have already perfected this and won't need much coaching.

As props, use a frosty mug of beer in one hand and a delicious, jelly-filled donut with pink frosting in the other. Don't eat the props! If you do, you MUST eat with your mouth open. You could also carry a box of donuts to share with friends at party, just be sure you have a backup for later.

You will need to find a huge wad of keys to tie to a string and attach it to a belt loop. Make the string short enough so the keys dangle around knee level. Homer constantly loses his keys, so you will also be losing your keys at the party. Marge, as always, will look all over for them as they dangle from your side. Be sure to scratch yourself when Marge finally hands them back to you.

You also might carry either old towels or tissues.  Blow your nose in them and then hand them out to anyone who will take them. Homer always blows his nose in towels and hangs them back on the rack.

Your job is to be obnoxious, hang out with your seedy friends at the bar, drink and have fun. Forget about birthdays, anniversaries and even what holiday you are celebrating--if Homer doesn't need to know, then neither do you.

And since you will make such a good Homer for Halloween, be sure you have designated a sober driver to get you home safely. Have a Safe and Happy Halloween.
