Ghostface

Ghostface There is never a shortage of Ghostface costumes around Halloween, but that’s only because the outfit is truly terrifying. I still get the creeps when I see someone dressed up as the Ghostface killer. You can buy different versions of this Scream-inspired costume at target.com. You can find the traditional male Ghostface costume and even one tailored just for women (although it is a little on the skimpy side). At some stores, you can even find a mask that drips blood. Creepy!

Leatherface

Leatherface Leatherface is a scary character to dress up as because he was (loosely) based off of real-life serial killer Ed Gein. Stories are always scarier when they are based off of real-life events. To get this Leatherface’s classic look, there are many options. You can semi-DIY it by finding an old apron and tea staining it give it an old, worn look. Then you can buy a Leatherface mask from your favorite Halloween costume store. Or you can buy a full on Leatherface outfit from costumediscounters.com or buy the one tailored specifically for women at costumecraze.com. No matter how you do it, you will be terrifying!
