I have two hours to concept, prep, and execute a costume for myself, while finishing a costume for someone else, and dealing with ANOTHER person who is having last minute issues (note to the WORLD: Never become known for getting good at sewing; Halloween will SUCK FOR YOU forever).

Things I can do that take minimal effort:
1. Assume as modifiers:
- Steampunk
- Victorian
- Undead
- Scene
- Goth
- Punk

2. Assume as noun:
- Clown
- Fairy
- Elizabethan
- Human Being
- Ringmaster

Obviously, in the absence of time, concept costumes such as "a bad pun" or "a horrible warning" are out of the question. My friend has the BEST concept ever; she's going as a Sexy Large Hadron Collider. Undead Steampunk Ringmaster is kind of hitting the spot...actually, it REALLY is. I probably just need some makeup and a wig to pull that one off. And, possibly, enough time to finish my jacket.

I can't do Arlecchino (much as I would LOVE to) because another friend, who will be at dinner with me, is going as Harley Quinn.

Barring all this, of course, I will just dress in black and do the King Diamond makeup, which will scare the shit out of anyone who listened to death metal in the eighties (or, no one I will actually be out with.) Nonetheless, it IS scary makeup, and I DID scare the shit out of my tenth grade when I wore it then.
