Jumpsuits and coveralls can typically be bought cheap in the work clothing sections at superstores like Walmart.
Be on the lookout for cheap secondhand clothing to use for your costume. Try to find a jacket made from a softer material like cotton so that it will better show the wear-and-tear you inflict on it.

Do not carry actual weapons or farming implements for your costume. You might accidentally put an eye out!

Try to find a thin rubber mask that wears comfortably and will allow the hockey mask or pillowcase to fit over it easily. If you don’t want to bother with wearing two separate masks, just slip on a bald cap under the hockey mask so that your own hair isn’t visible. [14] X Research source
