Walt and Jesse at the lab ("Breaking Bad")
Level of difficulty: Medium

Dressing as Walter "Heisenberg" White and Jesse Pinkman protects you from bobbing-for-apples splashing, and you can get away with it if you're a lady, since their lab gear covers them from tip to toe. Search "hazmat suit," and look for a yellow one among the results, then find a hazmat mask -- or just buy the complete set on eBay. (You can also make it a costume for three, if one of you is Gale Boetticher.)

Don't want to deal with all that crinkling? A civilian-clothed Walt costume is a snap for guys with shaved heads -- but you can also go the first-season route, and buy a green button-down, tighty-whities, and wallaby shoes. A fake mustache completes the look. Jesses can use zip-up hoodies with skulls on them over super-bright, loud T-shirts, and baggy black jeans. Don't forget the knit skullcap, especially if you have the "wrong" hair. less
