This quick and easy costume will have people in awe of your creativity and sense of humor.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Halloween Makeup Kits
Fabric Paints
Cars
Brown Or Black Permanent Markers
T-shirts

Step 1

Take your shirt outside and lay it on the ground facing up, where you can drive over it. If possible, place it about 12 feet from some mud so your car's tires will have a chance to roll through the mud before rolling over the shirt.
Step 2

Drive very slowly over your shirt. Try to drive over it at an angle to get the longest tread print on your shirt.
Step 3

Park your car, and then go back and look at your shirt. There should be visible tread marks from your tires. If you did manage to roll through mud, let the mud dry before you pick the shirt up.
Step 4

Let the mud dry, and then go over the muddy tread marks with a dark marker so they are more easily visible.
Step 5

Rub some mud and dirt onto your face and into your hair.
Step 6

Pull the shirt on carefully, and stick branches into your clothes so that they are sticking out from under the neck and sleeves of your shirt.
Step 7

Put on only one shoe to complete the recently run-over look.

on 11/22/2005 Once open dancing has been announced on the dance floor (if not specifically mentioned then usually after the obvious formal events on the floor), do not be afraid to dance as much as you like. It is usually encouraged and helps the DJ cater better to the crowd. Just remember that the bride and groom have probably set some guidelines as to the music. So if something you have requested is not played or is refused by the DJ, this is more often than not the reason. Just have fun with it and so will everyone else. Be sure to give the bride and groom their due.

Then smear it around with a little petroleum jelly. It makes them look exactly like puss-oozing, open, fresh road wounds. Enjoy!

on 11/22/2005 Buy a shirt from the thrift store -medium gray works best. Don?t use your car to make skid marks, use the spare tire. Apply dark gray paint to half the tire, and toss some gutter dirt on if you wish. Roll the tire over your shirt from the lower left side, to over the right shoulder. Get Rit scarlet colored dye and mix it a little thick. Use scissors to cut slices in the front and back varying in size and shape. Fray the edges if possible. Cut and rip half the right sleeve off. Sloppily paint all the slash holes and the right arm tear. Wait till dry. Reach under your car and scrape some oil and dirt up, and apply in streaks to your shirt. Wear a black or dark red shirt under this one. Tuck your left arm in when wearing.
