Still haven't completely decided what I'm going to be, frontrunner is get a cheap suit from a thrift store and go as... well, with a suit you can be any number of things, especially if its from another decade.
And my vote for the best costume I've seen yet:

I had a friend that made his own super hero. He dressed in black and gray. On his chest or cape was a giant M. Randomly attached to his body were various metal objects like a metal spatula, a fork, keys, etc.One rep said he had a Heroes & Villains themed party to attend, and was thinking of making up his own villain. He'd be called Master Mischief (or some such) and he'd basically just run around the party being a total dick, then yelling 'Master Mischief away!' and scampering off. One idea involved yelling his tag line and then chucking a handful of candy corn at somebody's head, and he'd do it often enough that when he yelled 'Master Mischief!' everybody would flinch.
He went a Magnet Man - the most attractive super hero! -

Generally pretty cheap to put together at the goodwill store. Maybe a decade or two out of date.....

zombies are in vogue. Take some old clothes, rip them up a bit and put some pasty death makeup on.

In college, a group of friends once hit the thrift stores and went as the entire Brady Bunch. My Impala Wagon helped sell the concept and yes, we had and Alice.
My buddy rolled up a garbage bag and stapled it to a square of cardboard in a ring, and used a sharpie to draw in details to make a condom costume. (Funny story, one of my rather conservative fraternity brothers was offended and asked him not to wear the condom, so he came to the party as Jesus nailed to a cross instead. Careful what you wish for I suppose.)
You can buy a cheap doll from Wal Mart and turn it into Chuckie with little effort. Strap it to you with a fake knife and you are the guy getting attacked by Chuckie. Plus, you have a Chuckie doll.
Cardboard box from a flat-screen TV and some markers, and you can be an iPhone. Add some funny apps!
You could get drunk, hurl racial slurs and go as Mel Gibson.

I'm going to tape a fake fist under my beard and go as Chuck Norris.
"There is no chin under Chuck Norris' beard, only another fist".
I figure the 4 people that get it will laugh their asses off.

As a bonus, you could also go as The Year 2008 in that costume!

I'm thinking about dressing as Hilts from The Great Escape. That is if we actually go do anything.

a friend and I are being the blues brothers. edit hah I just saw page 2 and everyone mentioning it.
I already had black pants and black dress shoes, $15 and a stop at a halloween store for a hat, salvation army for a white shirt and suit jacket, all I need are the right sunglasses.
I may have to splurge on a set of handcuffs so I can chain myself up to the briefcase containing the harmonica.
details.
I thought about painting up the Grand Marquis like the Bluesmobile, but that washable spray paint is about $7 for a 5oz spray can. I should have looked for other options...im open to suggestions

gorilla suits are awesome, and so many possibilities!
I actually used to own my own, One year i dressed in full BDU's and just used the hands and the head, went as an urban gorilla! Another year I used the full suit except the head and went as Darth Chewy, using a vader mask and cape.
Alas, my cherished Gorilla suit was stolen from my car and things havent been the same since... It did get hot inside though, and the feet were downright hazardous to walk in after a few drinks,which at the time was a real hazard (the drinking more so than the suit, but that was a long time ago
)

She won the office costume contest. And I didn't even get to see her in costume.

A woman in my office showed up as a Nun, long black outfit, white cardboard forehead, little silver wire frame glasses, even had the beads and an 18" ruler.
Even funnier when you know she spends a lot of time at "clothing optional" campsites.
