Hey there, y’all! Let’s talk about them horror movie costumes, the kind the fellas wear. You know, for Halloween or whatever spooky shindig you got goin’ on.
Scary but Simple: The Ghost Face
First off, somethin’ easy. You seen that Scream movie? That ghost face fella? Real simple. Just get yourself a big ol’ black robe, like a graduation gown or somethin’, and that creepy white mask. You can find them masks everywhere now, even at the dollar store sometimes. Just make sure it’s a good one, not one of them cheap plastic things that crack if you breathe on it too hard.
- Black robe
- Ghost Face mask
- Black gloves (optional, but makes it spookier)
- Black boots or shoes
And there ya go! Easy peasy. Nobody’s gonna mistake you for a fairy princess, that’s for sure. This here costume is good ’cause it’s scary but you can still breathe and walk around without trippin’ over stuff. Some of them costumes, they got so many dangly bits, you can’t even get through the door!
Gettin’ a Bit More Messy: The Zombie
Now, if you want to get a little more… well, messy… you can go for a zombie. This one takes a bit more work, but it’s worth it. You gotta rip up some old clothes. The older and more stained, the better. Think about it, zombies don’t go shoppin’ at the fancy mall, right? They wear what they died in, or whatever they found lyin’ around.
Then you gotta do the makeup. Now, I ain’t no makeup artist, but I seen enough zombie movies to know the basics. You want pale skin, dark circles around the eyes, and some fake blood. You can get that fake blood stuff pretty cheap, or you can even make your own with corn syrup and food coloring. Just don’t go drinkin’ it, ya hear? It ain’t Kool-Aid!
Here’s what you need for a basic zombie costume:
- Old, ripped-up clothes
- Pale makeup (or white face paint)
- Black and purple eyeshadow for around the eyes
- Fake blood
- Maybe some fake wounds or scars, if you’re feelin’ fancy. You can stick on some cotton balls and paint ’em red, looks just like a festerin’ wound, I tell ya.
The Classic Monster: Frankenstein’s Creature
And then there’s the classics. You know, Frankenstein’s monster? That big fella with the bolts in his neck? That’s a good one. You’ll need a jacket, preferably a dark one, and some big ol’ boots. You can stuff the jacket with newspaper or somethin’ to make yourself look bigger and more… well, monstrous.
The real trick is the makeup, though. You gotta make yourself look green and kinda… stitched together. You can use green face paint and then draw on some fake stitches with black eyeliner. And don’t forget the bolts! You can get them fake bolts at the Halloween store, or you can even make your own out of cardboard and paint ’em silver. And that hair! Gotta make it flat and square, like he got hit by a frying pan. Lots of hairspray will do the trick, the cheaper the better, that fancy stuff won’t hold nothin’.
Here’s the rundown for Frankenstein:
- Dark jacket (oversized is better)
- Big boots
- Green face paint
- Black eyeliner for stitches
- Fake bolts for the neck
- Stuffing for the jacket (newspaper or old towels work great)
- Lots and lots of hairspray
Something a Little More Modern: A Creepy Clown
Now, if you want somethin’ a little more modern, you could go as a creepy clown. Thanks to that It fella, clowns ain’t so funny anymore. This one’s all about the makeup, too. You want a white face, big red lips, and some crazy eyes. And the clothes? The brighter and more mismatched, the better. Think polka dots, stripes, big floppy shoes… you get the idea.
And don’t forget the wig! You need a crazy, colorful wig. Red, blue, green… whatever you like. Just make sure it’s big and messy. And maybe carry a red balloon. That always adds a nice creepy touch, dontcha think? Though, personally, I never liked clowns. Too much paint on their faces, can’t trust someone hiding behind all that.
Here’s what ya need for a scary clown:
- Clown makeup (white face, red lips, crazy eyes)
- Bright, mismatched clothes (polka dots, stripes, etc.)
- Big floppy shoes
- A colorful, messy wig
- Red balloon (optional, but creepy)
Putting It All Together
So there ya have it, a few ideas for horror movie costumes for the fellas. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun with it. Don’t be afraid to get creative and put your own spin on things. And most importantly, make sure you can still see and walk around in your costume! Ain’t no fun spendin’ Halloween trippin’ over your own feet or bumpin’ into walls. And for goodness sake, don’t go scarin’ the little kids too bad. A little spook is fun, but you don’t want to make ’em cry. Unless they’re the neighbor’s kids, then maybe just a little… just kiddin’!
Now go on and get yourself a costume and have a spooky good time! And don’t forget to take some pictures. You’ll want to remember how scary you looked, or at least, how hard you tried to look scary. And don’t be eatin’ too much candy, it’ll rot your teeth out, sure as I’m standin’ here.
