Put on some fake tan and grin all night.
2. The Dead Fancy
Get some fake blood/ketchup/jam - don't forget cranberry sauce works well for brains or mangled insides and you can save the rest for Christmas - and put a bit on your face. You can wash it off after about half an hour. You can even go all out like this lady and put grey eye-shadow on your face and eyebrows.
3. A Mummy
Go as a mummy: an actual mother. If you have kids already you are sorted.
4. The Mask
The Mask is a great film but unrelated. Save on preening time and wear a mask to your Halloween party, this can be paired with any old outfit. The Scream mask is the most popular but if you are low on funds just print out a picture of anyone's face and celloptape it to your head.
5. The Night Mayor of London

The Night Mayor is being introduced to support nightlife in London which totally means vampires and stuff and no one knows what they look like as they haven't been chosen yet so no dressing up required.
