Are you thinking about getting yourself a monster costume to wear this year? If you are, you’ll find lots of costume ideas here to choose from. The most common Monster Bride costumes are based on “The Bride of Frankenstein,” and as such, the hairstyle used is often copied from the conical hairdo of Frankenstein’s bride that has white streaks of lightning on the left side and the right side. However, because of the difficulty of getting this kind of hairdo, some costumes for children and adults do away with this trademark and simply use a conical hat to conceal the hair.

Like the Frankenstein Monster, mechanical bolts can be seen protruding on both sides of the head through the hat. The Monster Bride can also wear a dress, gloves and pantyhose featuring the famous stitches seen on the Monster. Furry boots are used to complete the costume.

One of the most enduring of all the cinematic monsters is, of course, Frankenstein. Part of the reason for this is that the pathos of the creature makes him tragic and compelling. He is also one of the most recognisable monsters in history and that makes him perfect foil for Halloween masks. And, like Dracula, there are a multitude of Frankenstein costumes that range from the humorous to the downright scary. So, no matter what look you are going for there is a Halloween costume that will fit your needs.

Halloween is traditionally about the fabled creatures of the underworld and the spirits that are said to inhabit that mysterious world between the living and the dead. Ghosts, Ghouls, Zombies, The Grim Reaper and Spirits take many forms in the imagination, and have inspired endless costume variations on what you can do with an old white sheet and a pair of scissors. That imagination has started to run out after all these years, and Halloween enthusiasts have looked for fresh inspiration for their choice of costume.

So, if you are opting for a traditional look, you will need to choose from the usual group of suspects. The most popular character for Halloween fancy dress has to be Dracula. The lord of the undead is always a great choice when it comes to parties. Alternatively, for female guests, there is the option of the ’sexy vampiress’ or one of Draculas’ many ghostly brides. Whilst we are on the subject of the living dead, Zombies always go down an absolute treat at this type of function.
