Using a beaded and feathered mask and a corseted dress along with high heeled sandals, you could be a Masquerade Vampiress with real mystery while trying to capture your prey and playing with your food. Or you could use a long flowing gown in black with black stilettos and a lace up low cut bodice as a Victorian Vamp. Add silver cross earrings and a black ribbon choker with a cross and a sexy black wig for some daring fun. Being a pirate, you want to plunder for gold and find hidden gems, so you you could pull off a long brown skirt with brown boots, a sword, and a white peasant top. Use a flaming red for the wig to give you a siren look.

Costume Ideas for Women

Alice in Wonderland is extremely popular. One of the popular ones is the Red Queen. Queen of hearts would be fun and easy. Find red heart earrings, a red ribbon choker with a silver heart dangle, and find a wrap around silver and red heart arm bangle or bracelet. Use red, high heeled sandals and red nylons with a hot red mini skirt or simply use a long flowing skirt. Then find a white or red shirt that is sheer or lacy to match with a red cami underneath. If you can find one with hearts on it, go for it. But, you can make hearts and gently pin it to the skirt and sleeves of the shirt to make it a full costume effect.

Another popular option for younger women is to wear sexy Halloween costumes. They use Halloween as an excuse to show a little more skin than usual, which can be fun. There's quite a selection to choose from and you can go as sexy or as modest as you want with them. Some popular options are the sexy Catholic schoolgirl or the sexy nurse or cheerleader.

Costume Ideas for Men

If you are a guy and just need to release your bad self, something evil should work. Having an ax or a bone saw usually gets the message across. Going as an evil zombie doctor would be cool. You could have blood everywhere. It will look like you have just gotten out of surgery. Wear a scrub shirt and pants with gross makeup for your face like you have a skin disease.

Dress from head to toe in solid black with a beautiful silk shirt and skin tight jeans and boots with a long coat or cape can turn you into a vampire or a very sexy pirate. Use a boot knife and a sword or pistol and dye your hair black.

Halloween costume ideas can be endless possibilities. You can create your very own style that maybe next years rage and set trends all over the world. One idea is all it takes for the next big movie hit and for the next Halloween fashion show!
