The Classic Costume For Halloween: Skeleton
One of the most fun things about Halloween is dressing up in a scary costume and trick or treating around the neighbourhood. Personally, my favorite scary costume is the skeleton costume.
The skeleton is the classic symbol of Halloween and definitely creates the perfect spooky atmosphere. Those old bones seem to be everywhere – hanging from doors and windows to the most amazing costumes. There are many types of skeleton costumes to choose from and here are some ideas for this Halloween.
The Grim Reaper
Death is often personified in various religions and cultures as an actual being who governs the dying process. A common personification of death in English is the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper is commonly portrayed as a black cloaked and hooded skeleton who carries a large scythe. The myth is that he takes people from this world to the next. The Grim Reaper is especially popular in horror films. Two films he has appeared in are “Final Destination” and “Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey”. So, you will undoubtedly cause a chill in everyone’s spines if you dress up as the Grim Reaper.
Zombie Skeleton
If you really want to be fearsome then you can’t go wrong with a skeleton zombie costume. I’m sure you’ve seen zombies in the movies. They are corpses who ahve returned to life but as mindless and blood-thirsty human beings. Who can forget Michael Jackson’s genius video “Thriller” and the zombie dance in the graveyard? There have also been some great zombie movies such as Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978) and the more recent and horror/humorous Shaun of the Dead (2004).
Pirate Skeleton
Finally, everyone loves pirates, but how about really frightening your neighborhood for Halloween with a skeleton pirate costume. If you watched Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), you couldn’t fail to have been scared by the cursed Captain Barbossa and his crew who cannot feel pain or pleasure and are revealed as merely animated skeletons at moonlight.
Wearing a skeleton costume for Halloween is a great and fun way to impress your friends and family. If you want more ideas for skeleton costumes, please visit my skeleton costume site.
