Do-It-Yourself Grim Reaper Halloween Costume

Nothing sends a chill down our spine faster than seeing the Grim Reaper approach. Just think, with a few cheap items, you can transform yourself into everyone’s least favorite houseguest. This is a classic Halloween costume if there ever was one.

Items you will need:

Black hooded cape
White face makeup or mask
Black grease paint stick
Scythe or other pointy weapon

All you need is a hooded cape that covers all. We recommend adding a mask that is scare-worthy. Another option is to paint your face white and add creepy skeletal detail in gray or black. It’s really that simple, but wait! No Grim Reaper Halloween costume would be complete without its scythe. Any plastic weapon will do in a pinch. Just remember you won’t be the most popular ghoul or boy at the party, but that’s what alcohol is for.

Frightening Fact:
The Grim Reaper is Death in a living form. The idea of Death as an actual entity has existed in all known societies since the beginnings of recorded history.
