So I need help thinking of a costume to wear to a costume party. It needs to be something I can make at home.

The theme is "characters", so pretty much any kind of costume goes – though I don't want to go too much in the videogame direction since few people can recognize the characters, unless they're really famous.
My physique is tall and thin and white skin and black hair.

So if anyone can just give me suggestions of random characters from movies or comics or TV shows or anything at all, it would be cool!
Thanks!

Grow some beard stubble, put on a doctor's outfit, and become Dr. Greg House.

I forgot to post earlier: HE'S ALIVE!
Unfortunately, I don't have any non video game ideas for costumes.
Actually... you can always wear a suit and say your that guy from the Office.

If you have black pants, a black sweater, and a black ski cap you can stuff newspaper into a rounded white bag, draw a dollar sign on it and be a safecracker.

So, how did this go? Did you find a costume? Or has it not happened yet?
