While others spend loads of money on Halloween costumes, the budget costume has been much appreciated by netizens. Speaking to a Facebook page, the mother explained how she created the look for her son.

As per reports, the primark tights costed £2, Amazon wig and costume costed £19. She also used leftover helium and balloon from a birthday party and last year's face paint.
