Bloody Zombie Halloween Costumes: Night Of The Walking Dead

by Guest Author

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.

There are no guidelines as far as what all zombie Halloween costumes should have. There is no walking dead uniform. Aside from a dead stare and pale skin, you can take this one any direction you like. A good, and cheap, way to start searching is by looking through your own clothing. If you're willing to ruin something, set it aside. You may want to use it. Even if you already have a top and bottom, extra material can be shredded and added to accent your look. 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!

Zombie movies are a great way to get into the mood, and learn how to play the part. If you plan to really display your zombie-skills, learn how to walk and moan, like a true undead. Choose any George Romero film you like and watch as hoards of zombies lumber along. There are other zombie varieties as well, although this style seems to be the most loved by horror film buffs. 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.

Carrying props can be cumbersome so you may choose to go empty handed. If so, your zombie clothing, your makeup and your body motions can be used to tell the story. Finding accessories in costume shops means deciding how gory you want to become. Burn scars, gaping wounds, bloody gunshots or seeping sores are common. The masks produced for these costumes may be missing an ear or have an eye dangling from the socket.

If one zombie is good, a group is even more entertaining. Recruit some friends and take over the party as a roaming hoard of the walking dead. Encourage friends to take photos as you may never look this good again.

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
