30 Seriously Scary Halloween Costumes to Terrify Your Friends and Neighbors
Watch out for those creepy clowns.
courtesy
Halloween is supposed to be scary. So many people get caught up in trying to find a clever, punny costume or a good-looking, sexy costume that they forget the joys of a spine-tingling, blood-curdling, don't-like-to-look-at-it scary Halloween costume. But when you let yourself embrace the gross, the wicked and the disturbing, that's when the real Halloween fun begins.
Some of these frightening Halloween getups take their inspiration from the most terrifying Halloween movies — the ones that feature those iconic ghouls that linger in the popular imagination. Others are just weird-looking and make passers-by take a second look. And then there are the clowns. So many scary clowns. (Don't read on if you have coulrophobia.) You can enhance your look with fake blood and Halloween makeup — or just let the costume stand on its own.
If you're stumped for ideas of what to wear this October 31, don't stress. This list of scary Halloween costumes will help you to find the terrifying look that suits you best for Halloween 2021. There's a terrifying Halloween look here for everyone, from adults to teens to couples to kids.
