How to Make a Man Falling Down an Elevator Shaft Costume

This is one of the easiest Halloween costumes to make, and also the funniest. What's great about it is no one will know what the heck you are until you put your arms over your head and scream. Then the full effect of falling down an elevator shaft will come to life. Every time you do it you'll have a group of people laughing. Here's how to make the costume.

Things You'll Need

• Wire coat hanger
• Hair gel
• Tie
• Dress shirt

Instructions

1. Get in a nice dress shirt and pants.

2. Put a tie on.

3. Gel your hair so it is standing straight up, off your head.

4. Bend your coat hanger under your tie in your collar, and thread it through the tie to the bottom of the tie. Bend the tie/wire so the tie is facing straight up past your ear, alongside your face, and stays that way even while you're moving around. You may have to secure the tie to the wire with some strategically hidden string.

5. Look in a mirror. Hold your arms above your head, tip your head back a little and scream, waving your arms around like you're falling straight down an elevator shaft. Your hair and tie sticking straight up should make a really funny and accurate portrayal for parties. Be prepared to reenact it often while you're out.
