The Scooby Doo Themed Costumes

These were quite famous in their time but the new generation does not know how much they fascinated the kids back in the days. This theme will most definitely make people very nostalgic and besides that, you can always do some “mystery solving” and paint your van like the mystery machine to make it more worthwhile!
Silence of the Lambs
Although it does sound pretty unnerving, you can actually make silence of the lambs themed masks with some makeup and voila! The perfect occasion to go on a rampage of devouring — not actually devouring — every people in the neighborhood. Grab some vintage clothes and buy a mask like in the actual movie. It will scare the hell out of young teenagers and kids. Definitely worth it! Might as well dress your little kid in a lamb like this family did!
Lara Croft – Tomb Raider
This costume is best for teenage girls who have both bad and beauty in themselves. The perfectly made costume will attract people and you will be all over Instagram overnight as the Tomb Raider. Pretty badass and it’s not even much of a difficult one. Just a shorts and a tank top with other little accessories and you will look just like Angelina back in her tomb raiding days! Have a look at this girl dressed up as Lara Croft. Pretty badass.
The Fortune Teller
Have a look at this woman who, most remarkably, used her makeup and dress-up skills to become a real-life, creepy fortune teller.
This could be your Halloween costume, triumphing over all the others with the wise third eye on your forehead. Roam in the streets telling people about their fortunes and having their minds perplexed about whether you’re a real one or just a dressed up girl. Be sure to wear antique jewelry, dark shades of makeup, contact lenses and most importantly your hair; make your hair as creepy as possible.
The Undead Witch
If your makeup skills are professional, you can take it to the next level by becoming an Undead Witch with cracks on your face and a painted skeleton on your chest and neck. Make it as realistic as conceivable because you don’t want it looking fake. Take this as a helping example.

We have collected some ideas from famous horror movies and how you could use them as ideas.
Valak, The Demon Nun
