Zombie Halloween Costumes: Dress Up As The Walking Dead

A seasonal favorite for holiday trick or treaters is the Zombie Halloween costume. Funny and frightening versions of the walking dead are not only fun as dress up but easy costumes to make. You can plan your own zombie doing as little or as much as you want to the character. Creativity rules when dealing with the zombie at Halloween.

To keep costs down look through your own closet for basic clothing to use for your zombie character. Guidelines don't exist for what you must wear or how you should look. There is no standard uniform associated with zombies so you can go any direction that suits your fancy. You can use your regular clothing and find some old shirts that you are willing to slice and dice for that graveyard appearance and layer those items over your daily wear. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Ghoul–Skeleton-Costumes-title0-p-2-c-335.html

Zombify your favorite celebrity, musician, or historic figure! Anyone and everyone can be turned into a zombie. It's easy and entertaining. See how many people can guess who you are. There are plenty of already deceased famous figures to choose from, however you do not have to stop there. Just because someone is still living does not mean you can't imagine what he or she may look like among the walking dead!

There is no lack of movies that portray zombie-skills and you can learn to walk and moan and mumble as a true member of the undead. Swaying from side to side you lumber along, arms raised, eyes fixed on the far distance, mumbling an grumbling and intent on destruction. That is the most recognizable and popular version of zombie Halloween costumes and the people who wear them. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Ghoul–Skeleton-Costumes-title0-p-1-c-335.html

Accessories for zombie Halloween costumes can vary widely. Fake body parts are great for casual gnawing or as walking sticks. A zombie musician might carry his microphone or his guitar or might wear an afro wig and bell bottoms. Choose a prop that is related to what your zombie character did in his previous life as a living human being.

If carrying props around proves too cumbersome, you can go empty handed and leave your look to do all the work. Every year, costume stores and retailers all over offer a variety of zombie makeup and special effects for sale. These include fake wounds and flesh tears. Some are very realistic, while others may depend on your creative abilities. Find something that works for you.

Groups of zombies are always better than one! Enlist friends to create an entire roaming hoard! Overrun the party with fun-loving undead. Many walking undead make for plenty of photo opportunities. In addition, zombie movie lovers will appreciate your group effort.

Give the host or hostess a break and bring along something edible to share. They will surely appreciate the extra help. This also gives you an opportunity to plant your own, food-based prop! There are plenty of creative recipes out there that explain how to create dishes that look like human body parts, but are made from purely non-human ingredients! Edible eyes or organs, fingers, everything.

To make zombie Halloween costumes, begin your search for clothing at home and then move on to add props and makeup and put your own twist on your version of the undead. Get in the mood with an old film and make your costume memorable and unique. Play the part well and have a wonderful night. Edited by Hetsil Protage
