Eighty Seven – Bloody Spooky Zombie Halloween Costumes: Prowl As The Living Dead

A seasonal favorite for holiday trick or treaters is the Zombie Halloween costume. Funny and frightening versions of the walking dead are not only fun as dress up but easy costumes to make. You can plan your own zombie doing as little or as much as you want to the character. Creativity rules when dealing with the zombie at Halloween.

To keep costs down look through your own closet for basic clothing to use for your zombie character. Guidelines don’t exist for what you must wear or how you should look. There is no standard uniform associated with zombies so you can go any direction that suits your fancy. You can use your regular clothing and find some old shirts that you are willing to slice and dice for that graveyard appearance and layer those items over your daily wear. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Ghoul–Skeleton-Costumes-title0-p-2-c-335.html

You might choose a popular historic figure or legendary musician and zombify him. Anyone is eligible to become a zombie and it’s an easy and entertaining holiday corpse. Choose from a deceased figure or pick someone still alive if you choose. Whether making a zombie Halloween costumes for a real personality or creating your own imaginary character is your choice.

Get in the mood for ghost Halloween costumes by watching some old movies like Children of the Corn or an old George Romero film. Watch how the zombies lumber along as they walk swaying from side to side. With their eyes in a fixed stare and their arms raised the frightening hordes press forward. Although you can vary the action, this style is the one most often used to show the motions of the undead and is most loved by fans of horror films. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Ghoul–Skeleton-Costumes-title0-p-1-c-335.html

Use a variety of accessories to complete the zombie persona. Fake body parts to gnaw on are good as you wander past food filled table at a Halloween party. An undead musician might carry an instrument or a microphone and could wear bell bottoms a la Hendrix.

If carrying props around proves too cumbersome, you can go empty handed and leave your look to do all the work. Every year, costume stores and retailers all over offer a variety of zombie makeup and special effects for sale. These include fake wounds and flesh tears. Some are very realistic, while others may depend on your creative abilities. Find something that works for you.

If one zombie is good, a group is even more entertaining. Recruit some friends and take over the party as a roaming hoard of the walking dead. Encourage friends to take photos as you may never look this good again.

If a party invitation is the reason for your zombie Halloween costume please your host or hostess by taking some food along as your contribution. A quick search for Halloween recipes will provide some mind boggling menu items. While you are adding your undead decorated cupcakes to the table quietly add your other specialty to the food platters there. This may your special recipe for pickled fingers or deviled eggs that look like red veined eyeballs. Food that looks like organs or body parts can be quite entertaining though appetizing may not be the word that comes to mind.

Use zombie makeup and add your own personal twist with items from your closet or carried in your hands. Master the walk and try to appear as undead as you can. This is not the costume of a sparkling personality. Zombies appear for trick or treat every Halloween so make your zombie Halloween costume memorable. Edited by Hetsil Protage
