A Disney villain is a great idea for a Halloween party! Why not try our Evil Queen costume that comes with purple collar and horned headpiece, and add a pair of Green Witches Eye Contact Lenses to replicate the character’s look. For that extra vibe, add our Velvet Devil Cape and strut your stuff with the power of Angelina Jolie! You could even go one step further and use the Barry M Eyeshadow Palette in Neon Brights to add some purple tones to your makeup as a nod to the original cartoon villain.

Friday The 13th Slasher Costume

If you’re looking for some Halloween costume inspiration then why not choose one of the greatest slasher horror films of all time! Friday The 13th’s Jason Voorhees is a simple fancy dress look that anyone can achieve. Use a basic outfit of a t-shirt, jeans and a dark jacket as your base. Then, use our Blooded Mask with blood splatter to mimic Jason’s hockey mask from the movie. Next, pick your weapon: choose from the Bloodied Knife or Plastic Blooded Cleaver to truly become the part of a slasher character. Use our Buy One Get One Free offer for some Halloween Accessories like some Blood Spray to add a gruesome edge to your outfit! Finish off your look with a pair of Black Mini Sclera lenses to give your character an intense eye.

Why not use our Aviator Jumpsuit Fancy Dress as Jason’s coveralls and the Blue Banana Bloody Inflatable Axe to pay homage to the fifth movie in the series, A New Beginning.

The Costume of Nightmares

One of our favourite horror film characters of all time is Freddy Krueger from The Nightmare on Elm Street. His look is perfect for a spooky Halloween Costume this October and we have the items to make it happen! Get yourself a red and green striped jumper and add our Claw Hand Horror Gloves to recreate Freddy’s bladed glove. Get the textured look of Freddy with our Zombie Face Paint Kit, using the latex to create the burned skin effect. For Freddie’s eyes why not try out Blind White Coloured Contacts in one eye and our Green Witches Eye Lenses in the other for the ultimate creepy appearance.
