Who says Halloween costumes have to be gory or macabre to be frightening? We love this incredible makeup job of an illusion painting on the artist's face, which creates a deep sense of discomfort when we stare at it for too long! Can you figure out which eyes and lips are the real ones?

2. Strangers

Step aside, "purge" mask! Have you seen the cult-classic horror film, The Strangers, directed by Bryan Bertino? Not only this film absolutely chilling, but it comes with a wide variety of awesome costume ideas, including a great theme for a group costume! Just pick out your favourite mask from the bunch and find the screen-accurate clothing, and you'll be ready to scare the pants off everyone you come across!

3. Women's Scary Clown Costumes

While lots of men’s scary clown costumes come with  scary masks, blood-splattered shirts, and the like, most women’s scary clown costumes aren’t actually that scary. This just means that you’ll have to get creative with your makeup and accessories, like this cosplayer who turned a bright and colourful clown outfit into the stuff of nightmares with just a bit of makeup. Not a makeup artist? Add a bit of fake blood to some clown makeup stencils and you’ll be all set!

These cosplayers went the DIY route–and it paid off. If you find the right clown accessories, you can use them as a base for a stunning  scary clown costume. The costumes pictured here are simple enough, but they work. Pompoms, gory makeup and a cool clown hat are added to simple white shirts for a truly spooky effect. This is a great idea for a group costume! Your friends won't know what hit them.

5. Plague Doctors

Step aside Covid-19! We love the eeriness of plague doctor's and their classic get-ups, historically accurate from when the Bubonic Plague swept across the globe. Did you know that 1/3 of Europe's population got wiped out from this gross, black plague? While we know that won't happen this Halloween, instill the fear in those around you with these amazing matching group Plague Doctor costumes!

While we know that Joker costumes have always been incredible popular, especially after The Dark Knight Rises and Joker, we love this iteration of an absolutely terrifying Joker mask, which shows his mouth pulled open and stuck into a creepy grin, reminiscent of the comic book, The Killing Joke. This is an amazing idea for anyone who wants to dress as the famed Joker, while looking for a unique and creative spin.
