Creepy Mask-Based Costumes for an Easily Eerie Halloween

Halloween gets so much better when you’re not afraid to step away from the sexy and embrace the ick, but drenching yourself with a gallon of fake blood is both impractical and messy. Stay sharp as you sink your claws into a truly gruesome look by nabbing one of our four favorite creepy AF mask-centric costumes.

Scary Clown

American Horror Story and the It reboot have brought scary clowns back to the forefront of Halloween horror. What’s more, all you need to do this costume well is pair it with a pj onesie that you probably already have.

The Purge

Be the Daft Punk of fright with a battery powered LED Purge mask. Pair with a hoodie and a baseball bat for a dead simple costume that breaks all the rules.

The Pumpkin King

Whether you’re looking to dress this one up like Jack in The Nightmare Before Christmas or create something of your own design, a full-rictus Jack-O-Lantern mask makes for a simple — and surprisingly underdone — costume. Pair with a sharp suit or drape yourself in black to freak out the neighborhood kids and establish your reign as Halloween’s supreme ruler.

Makeup Artist Portfolio

Chances are that if you’re reading this, you’re probably a well-seasoned makeup artist with several degrees from the YouTube Tutorial School of Beauty. Yes, technically this idea isn’t a mask, but if you’ve already got the gear and the know-how, consider stretching the limits of that ooky-spooky imagination of yours and showing off your most gruesome FX skills this Halloween.
