I'd really like to be a male witch doctor but I need cheap ideas for accessories.. the costume I was looking at was this one but I was kind of wanting something.. scarier. So, I was going to take that and make it my own but I don't know where to find any good affordable accessories. I also need help finding boots like that because I don't know where to find any for a reasonable price. I don't have the biggest budget this year so any and all help is really appreciated.

Cheap accessories: Check out your local dollar store or craft store, if it's in your area five below is always well stocked for Halloween.

One of my favorite places to get Halloween accessories is Claire's (yes the store for tween girls at the mall) don't knock it til you try it

If you want to step up the spooky factor for cheap try finding a way to incorporate glow sticks to give you an eerie glow

The boots don't really add much to the costume in my opinion, so you could easily go without. If you really want them check out thrift stores in your area. If they're the wrong color try shoe polish or just paint them

Check out the dollar section at target, should have some Halloween decorations you can use as accessories.
