Scary Halloween Costumes

Scary Halloween costumes built on silhouette and mood rather than shock: grim reaper robes, plague doctor sets, ghost brides, vampires, skeleton prints and horror masks. A hood, a mask, a pale face and a long dark line read clearly under low light and in flash photos, which is what makes a costume unsettling from across a room. Keep it polished: one strong element and simple makeup do more than a pile of props. Make sure you can see clearly in any mask or hood, and that long hems clear your shoes on stairs.

Scary through silhouette

The most striking scary costumes rely on silhouette and mood: a hood, a mask, a pale face, a long dark cloak. They read clearly under low light and in flash photos.

Practical tips

Make sure you can see clearly in any mask or hood, and that long hems clear your shoes. Bring a layer for the walk between venues.
