7. Pumpkin entrails. When carving your pumpkin, you won't have to let the innards go to waste for once. Instead of tossing the stringy pulp and seeds into the garbage, you can smear them onto your face and let the guck hang down like a beard. Of course this conglomeration will be orange and pumpkiny, not black. However, orange is an acceptable Halloween color, and you can also explain it away saying your costume has something to do with hell, the devil, demons, etc. -- themes that all mesh well with bin Laden.
8. Hello Kitty dolls. Combining two icons as disparate as Osama bin Laden and Hello Kitty cannot fail to make you look clever. People will appreciate how you take advantage of Kitty's evil undertones and bin Laden's pop potential. A guaranteed hit!
9. Photos of George Bush. Take magazine and news photos of the US president and fashion them into the shape of a beard. Truly, this will confuse the heck out of everyone. By no means should you explain how or why you decided on this perplexing costume.
10. Taipei Times' bin Laden cutout. Well, you waited until the last minute to find a costume -- that's okay. We've solved the problem for you! Just cut along the dotted lines and then attach this mask to your face with a string. Happy trick-or-treating!
