3. Superhero Costume
A lot of people always think that a superhero costume must have a lot of time in preparation. However, there is a misconception behind it.

Unless you want to dress up as certain ghosts in folklore such as the White Lady which was popularized a lot in the movie called The Ring.
The costume only needs a black wig, a white dress, and a lot of foundation makeup on your face to make it look pale.
