Make this Halloween season memorable with the goriest, scariest costume ideas. Whether you’re ready to scare trick-or-treaters this season or want to surprise your friends and family at the upcoming Halloween party, here are a few ideas to get your creativity flowing.
6. Carrie
With one of the most iconic scenes in Carrie being her covered in blood, of course, one of the goriest, scariest costume ideas has to be this horror legend. While you can easily grab a quick costume set from places like Amazon, you can also thrift and make your own.
Simply grab a Prom Queen sash with a tiara, and a light pink dress. Grab a few containers of fake blood and a bouquet of flowers, and you’re set. Don’t be afraid to dump blood on yourself after putting on your outfit so it looks genuine. You can even smear blood on your face and hair to really make the costume authentic.
5. Jason Voorhees
The horror icon, Jason Voorhees, from the Friday the 13th movies, is a classic Halloween costume idea. And while you can easily find the basics of what you need on Amazon, you can really amp up the scary effects with these added ideas.
First, make sure to rip and tear a bit of the clothes and add blood splatters. This will give it a terrifying allusion. Make sure your knife is covered in blood as well, along with smears on your mask. With the right amount of blood, you can have one of the scariest costume ideas for the year.
4. Bloody Mary
Blood Mary is another easy costume idea that you can amp up to be terrifying. Amazon has a simple outfit that you can grab with a hauntingly gorgeous dress, but just add to it to make it perfect.
After you find the right clothes, don’t forget to grab your blood again. Use a light concealer on your face to give you a ghostly appearance, with intense red and black makeup. Smear the blood around your body and clothes. If you’re brave enough, put red eyelash underneath your eye, and let blood drop from that area, creating a blood-red crying effect.
3. Vampire
Another classic Halloween costume idea is being a vampire. This can either be really simple with a cape and fangs, or you can make it terrifying.
You can use makeup and fake blood to create marks on your neck, along with blood dribbling around your mouth. Don’t forget to cover your hands and clothes in blood. If you really want to be serious about your costume, you can also do color-changing contacts for a more intense look.
2. Samara
Samara from The Ring is easily one of the most terrifying creatures in the horror genre. Recreate the look easily with Amazon’s costume selection. But amplify it more with some added makeup and design.
For instance, after putting on the gothic, torn dress with the long black hair, put some light makeup on your face to appear ghostly and dead, along with black eyeshadow around the eyes, and even black lipstick. For an authentic look, opt out of shoes and even go for white stockings. You can lighten up your hands and even paint some grey, blue hues on your fingertips for the added ghostly effect.
1. Purge
The Purge is easily one of the scariest movies. So why not create one of the scariest costume ideas based on it? For this costume, you can use these high-tech LED light-up masks, lights, and other accessories. Grab various accessories, for instance, a wired-wrapped bat, fake funs, or knives.
What makes the Purge so unique as a costume idea is that you can either take inspiration from characters in the movie or create your own look as a menacing killer.
