Halloween Costumes

Classic Halloween costumes

Although we speak of trends in Halloween nights and each year there are costumes that are often sought and expected, there are Halloween costumes that always win: clowns, witches, zombies, vampires, demons, skeletons, werewolves, ghosts, pumpkins…

You might not want to argue about it and would prefer to go with the every-day Halloween costumes, or you might be traditional and always think about count Dracula or the witches of Salem when someone else mentions fear, or you might go with the fashion trend or gamble upon the classics…

Whatever your motive is, here we’ll give you some ideas to find a perfect scary disguise that will be a success in Halloween.

Clown Halloween disguises: the most dangerous madness

Thought lately we are seeing these disguises for reasons that have nothing to do with Halloween, we keep on betting on the killer clown costume as a fun disguise to frighten during this celebration. Always «in a good mood»…

Vampire costume: blooooood!!

The vampire fancy dress costume is one of the ones that is always a good fit in Halloween night. You can turn into the vampire you like the most, but don’t forget about the accessories, like the sharp fangs, the fake blood and, of course, the good vampire makeup in black, white and gray tones for a decaying look.

Zombie costumes: braaaaaaaains…!!

What would Halloween turn into without zombies? There are many ways to design your zombie costume: with a horrible mask and your usual clothes, except stained with blood or you can buy a macabre and horrifying costume of the living dead.

Remember that your disguise will be much more realistic if you add some characteristic prothesis, wounds made with liquid latex and fake blood. Don’t let out the details!

Witch costumes: bring out the evil in you

The witches are other one of the regulars in Halloween night. Don’t miss out on them! To create a complete costume, nothing works better than making a witch costume and add accessories like some cool, stripped, colored stocking, a wig, a pointy witch hat, a purse in the shape of a cauldron and, of course, the broom! You can also find a version of a sexy witch…😉

Demon and devil costumes: the kings of the underground

Demons and devils, devils and demons… Each and every one comes out to party during Halloween with their red costumes, their horns and their tridents. The demon costumes are always terrifying and unique for provoking fear in Halloween!

Skeleton disguises: we die for your bones

We like to move the skeleton in Halloween, and if you want to do it in a more “literal” sense than ever, these skeleton costumes will be your best option.

You can do it in a more original or classy way, there is an option for every taste! Don’t forget about the makeup and the decorative accessories if you prepare a party at home.

And if you don’t like to dress up? Well, Halloween accessories and/or scary masks

Even if you don’t believe it, YES, there are people that don’t like to dress up.

Yes, as you hear. Maybe even you don’t like the whole -dress up thing… maybe it’s because you haven’t discovered how fun it can be. Or maybe the act of dressing up doesn’t fill you with excitement…

But surely you wouldn’t want to be left out in the Halloween party to which you were invited, right? And if you prefer to go a little less notices than the zombies, ghosts, vampires… Rest assured, we have a solution: terrifying Halloween accessories.

If you have already decided not to wear a Halloween disguise and you don’t know how to blend in that day, look at these Halloween fittings, a great way to «almost wear» a costume or at least have a look matching what is being celebrated, but without having to wear a full costume…

Sometimes you only need one element to blend in during the Halloween night.

A chainsaw with which to make everyone panic wherever you go as Leatherface, a scythe to go as The Death, a chainsaw like Jason or a trident like the King of the Shadows himself…

You can also wear a Halloween wig and some other unmissable accessory…

A knife diadem through your head so it appears as though you’ve been in a horrible accident (Remember! Use this with some few drops of fake blood to give it a more realistic look).

Or, if you prefer to be a terrifying vampire, you only have to wear white makeup and use a spectacular Halloween wig like this one.

You can also turn into one of the emblematic characters of the big screen, once more, use white makeup over your face, paint your eye sockets in black and wear one of these wigs.

Or wear a modern, digital t-shit that you can use along your smartphone to create terrifying effects.

Halloween accessories come by the plenty, you need only a small hat, or a big hat, or something that reminds us of the date we’re in. Long live the skulls!

Halloween masks: the face of fear

Halloween masks can be the best thing to wear to live a terrifying night. You need but one of these and you’ll see just how scary you become…

Halloween makeup: the perfect add-in for your costume

How to dress up for Halloween in five steps

If all the last sections have not convinced you… there’s just some little time left for the celebration of the most terrifying night of the year, and we don’t want you to leave everything for improvisation. Which is why we will see the musts for Halloween disguises, those necessary elements to design the perfect look with which to triumph and be very scary.

How will we achieve it? Keep calm, and put your costume on! It’s very easy. You just have to follow these 5 steps to achieve a complete Halloween look. You’ll see the horrifying ways in which you’ll transform into that evil and decaying being we all want to be that day.

Halloween costume

We start off with the Halloween costume, the foundations for the perfect look. And to help you achieve this amazing Halloween look, we leave four ideas (and one extra one) that you’ll like.

In Halloween, there has to be witches, so become one of them to frighten everyone to dares defy your broom.

Zombies are one of the beings that most have fun this night, because they take this day to revive from the dead and get themselves into a great party.

Vampires also go out to dine outside their houses this Halloween… Boots on!

And if what you want is to move your bones, nothing better than the skeleton disguise to create your Halloween disguise quickly.

And, as a gift, a homemade Halloween costume. If what you seek are quick Halloween disguises, we suggest one that is super easy. Take an old blanket, make two holes in it to see through them and you have yourself a disguise. You can also add a little extra detail if you wear stripped, black stocking, for example, or a ball and chain on your ankle.

Halloween makeup

To complete the costume, it is essential to have a good Halloween makeup. To do that, you must have black and white paint, some drops of fake blood, liquid latex and some wound-shaped prothesis to give your disguise a more realistic look.

It is fundamental if you dress up as a witch, as a zombie, as a vampire. Makeup is a very important point to give your look a realistic Halloween feel.

Wigs for Halloween

Now, to continue in the task of giving it a more sinister, evil, madman or dead look, a wig is essential to create a complete characterization.

Halloween accessories

What would Jason be without his knife, or Freddy without his shard hands, Death without its scythe, a witch without her broom and hat, Edward Scissor-hands without her scissor hands…?

Halloween accessories are the definite, final touch that your disguise needs. We mustn’t forget, of course, about the Halloween masks, if you feel lazy about wearing makeup.

Halloween Attitude! 😉

And, as Madonna would say: strike a pose!

The most important thing to have a perfect Halloween look is to have the perfect attitude and a practiced pose for the photos. If you disguise as a zombie, you can’t go walking classily or smiling at the photoshoots. If you are a vampire, you can’t be at places with a lot of light and you should go mad when you see the bare necks of the young ones. If you are a ghost… well, you can’t go through a wall, but you shouldn’t have a «lively» attitude…
