Group Halloween Costume Idea: Lost Theme

If you and your friends are die hard Lost fans, then dressing up as a Lost castaway may be the perfect group Halloween costume idea. Dressing up as a passenger of Oceanic flight 815 is easy and cheap. Since there were originally 71 passengers who survived the crash, there are many main and supporting characters from the past 5 seasons to choose from when deciding on a Lost Halloween costume. Another thing unique to Lost is that the cast of characters is a veritable melting pot. Black, white, asian, hispanic... the cast is so diverse that anyone can easily play a character from the show. Don't have a whole group of friends for this group Halloween costume idea? Lost characters are also a great costume idea for couples.

Lost Group Halloween costume idea: Jack, Kate, Sawyer & Juliet

Poor Jack is in the same boat as Sawyer - in love (at different times) with the same women. The love quadrangle means that it is easy to pair up as either Jack and Kate, Sawyer and Kate, Jack and Juliet or Sawyer and Juliet as a group Halloween costume idea.

Jack and Sawyer:

To play an effective Jack, make sure you don on some dirty dress clothes, don't shave for a week and sport a backpack. Jeans are the norm for Jack, but the ubiquitous backpack and water bottle will complete the look. Want to add Jack's tats? Visit Lostapedia to get a good look at the many tattoos that Jack's character has on Lost.

Sawyer's costume can be pulled off by dressing in blue jeans and a button down shirt. Just be sure to miss a few buttons along the way and forgo shaving for a week or more. If you need a wig, check out thecostumer.com. They have a "Ladies Man" blond wig that would be perfect for playing Sawyer for Halloween. Lost fans might remember that Sawyer loves to read, but needs eyeglasses. He is often seen in scenes wearing hideously over-sized eye wear. Consider tucking a pair of large, ugly glasses in a shirt pocket to help make the Sawyer costume more authentic.

Kate and Juliet:

Kate is also an easy Halloween costume because she typically wears a tank top and jeans. Leave that gun she typically wears tucked into the waistband of her jeans at home. Be sure to use a little make up to add freckles, as that was the nickname assigned to her by (James) Sawyer. Check out onestopbeauty.onsugar.com to read how to make fake freckles to enhance your Kate costume ensemble.

A Juliet costume is also easy and cheap. Just wear a button down shirt with a white tank underneath, along with a nice pair of slacks. Don't have long blonde hair? Complete your costume with a long, blonde wig, clipping your hair back or putting it in a pony tail. Thecostumer.com has a "Saloon Girl" wig that is the same basic style as Juliet's locks on Lost.

Any version of the above pairings are good for a Lost group Halloween costume idea because over the past several seasons, Lost fans have been treated to the on-again/off-again love affairs related to these characters and we still don't know how the love quadrangle will play out.

Lost Group Halloween costume idea: Add Hurley to your group

Another character for the Lost group Halloween costume idea is Hurley. Life on the island would be boring without this mega lottery winning character. To play Hurley, wear a super large one-pocket t-shirt. If you are not robust enough to fill out the t-shirt, add some padding with some pillows. Hurley was lucky enough to win a huge lottery jackpot, so use that pocket to display his winning lottery ticket. You may wish to head down to the nearest convenience store and play the following numbers: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42. You likely won't win, so keep your losing lottery ticket for your costume.

Using these costume ideas will help your Lost cast members look authentic. Just donning on dirty clothes may not get your Lost group Halloween costume recognized for what it is. The key for pulling off this group costume theme is in the details.
