Do-It-Yourself Eddie Munster Halloween Costume

The tiniest Munster’s bite is just as loud as his bark, so beware! If there’s one thing a Halloween party needs more than a vampire, it’s a tiny vampire. Socreepy LOVES Eddie Munster and Woof Woof. Making an homemade Eddie Munster Halloween costume isn’t tough at all.

Items you will need:

A black wig or black hair (slicked back)
A black blazer
A white undershirt with a collar
Black shorts
Black ribbon
A black cumberbund (or dark strip of cloth)
Black shoes
Black socks
Vampire teeth
Pointy ears
Green face makeup or body paint
A werewolf doll (Woof Woof)

Everyone will be green with envy when they see you walk in as Eddie Munster, tiny green vampire. Start by wearing a white shirt with a collar tucked into black shorts. Fasten your black cumberbund (you can substitute a dark strip of cloth) and use the black ribbon to make an Eddie Munster tie. To do this, raise your shirt collar. Run the black ribbon around your shirt collar as you would a necktie. In front, tie a big bow and let the bow loops and several inches of bow ends hang down the front of your shirt).

Add the black blazer now. Make sure it’s open enough in front to show plenty of your white shirt and tie. Put on your dark shoes and socks. Apply the green makeup or body paint to your entire face and neck, your hands and the parts of your legs not covered by the black shorts or your black socks and shoes. Be sure you also apply the green makeup to your pointy ears. Then put them on. If you have black hair, slick it back. If not, put on your dark wig, slicked back for effect. Put in your vampire teeth and you are ready to go, Eddie Munster! Oh, and don’t forget to feed Spot before you go. It looks like it’s going to be a wonderful stormy night.

Do-It-Yourself Devil Halloween Costume

Socreepy’s favorite classic Halloween costume. Devils never get old – wait – was that a joke? Devils are as old as time! Go red this October and scare the Beelzebub out of everyone at the Halloween party!

Items you will need:

Red clothing of any sort – the redder, the better
Red face make-up
Black grease paint stick
Black beard (for men – or adventurous women)
Fake teeth
Devil horns – the bigger, the better (think Hellboy before the horn shaving)
Black grease paint stick
Pitchfork or cane
Fake contacts (optional)
Devil tail (optional)
A contract for someone’s soul (optional)

The clothing can be anything from sweats to polyester pants and a disco shirt. The devil really does have style and savoir faire, so I’m told. It also doesn’t matter as long as it’s all very red. Paint your face red and use the black around your eyes, for your eyebrows and to give your cheeks definition. Fangs really make the look and contacts are even better, but you might not want to be that elaborate. You can find plastic pitchforks anywhere or make your own (or buy a real one). The tail is optional, but can be achieved with glue and a strip of red fabric – you can attach to your rear with a safey pin. Remember, you’ve got to be devilishly charming at the party if you intend to bargain for lost souls!

Frightening Fact:
The term “devil’s advocate” comes from the Roman Catholic Church. When deciding if someone should be sainted, a devil’s advocate is always appointed to give an alternative view.

Do-It-Yourself Crazy 88s Halloween Costume

As a member (dismember) of the Crazy 88s from Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill”, your Halloween costume is so cool and so easy. And so deadly! This is really one of SoCreepy’s favorite movie Halloween costumes.

Items you will need:

Black suit
White shirt
Black shoes
Black tie
Black mask
Hattori Hanzo sword (a cheapie plastic sword will do, unless you catch up with Beatrice)

This is essentially a Reservoir Dogs look. Just put on the mask, loosen the tie and carry your sword very, very carefully.

Frightening Fact:
Warren Beatty was considered for the role of Bill. That just would not have worked for socreepy. Thank you, Quentin.

Do-It-Yourself Cousin Itt Addams Halloween Costume

If you want to be a wallflower this Halloween, nothing says incognito quite like a Do-It-Yourself Cousin Itt Halloween costume. One of the more memorable of the out-of-town Addams Family members, Cousin Itt makes for a nice Halloween costume. Plus, he’s universally recognizable (in a non-recognizable way).

Items you will need:

Two Blond or light brown wig (the longest you can find)
Hairpins
Shirt
Jeans or slacks
Black shoes
Sunglasses
Hat

Find two matching wigs — the longest you can find. Ideally Cousin Itt’s hair should come to below the knees, but do the best you can given your height and the wigs that are available to you. Wear comfortable clothes.

Nothing too flashy. We recommend jeans and a T-shirt. If you are lucky enough to find one wig that covers both the front of your body and the back, more power to you. If not, use one wig to cover your face entirely.

Using hairpins, create small openings for your eyes so that you can see. Your sunglasses will cover your eyes, so never fear. Have a friend help you place the other wig on the back of your head and fasten the two wigs together with hairpins. Put on your hat and voila, you are Cousin Itt.

Frightening Fact:
“The Addams Family” premiered on Sept. 18, 1964. Cousin It first visited the family in episode 20, called “Cousin Itt Visits The Addams Family” and broadcast on Feb. 5, 1965.

Do-It-Yourself Clown Halloween Costume

Everyone loves a clown, right? No f’ing way! Everyone is terrified of clowns. They’re the stuff of nightmares. John Wayne Gacy was a clown. Pennywise is a clown. That clown in Poltergeist tried to strangle that bucktooth kid!! Since Halloween isn’t a time for sweet, “let’s make balloon animal” type clowns, go for the fear factor. It’ll make SoCreepy happy.

Items you will need:

A curly wig
White face makeup
A small, colorful make-up kit
A red nose
Oversize shoes
Oversize colorful clothes that you can stuff
Special effect contact lenses
Fake teeth
Props like a knife, machete or other evil item – be creative

There are numerous ways you can go with your clown costume. We’re going to always be fans of creepy, scary clowns, but you can be a tame clown like Bozo if you wanna. Lame-o. Buy crazy, mismatched clothing and stuff it to give yourself a big appearance. Anything ridiculous like big belts or weird hats are a nice touch. Once dressed, apply white face make-up. Remember that dramatic or sinister eyebrows that slant downward look good. Use bright colors around your eyes. Instead of giving yourself a clown smile with red grease paint, you could make your lips white, then use the black to put vertical lines across them as if they were stitched – spooky. Adding colored contacts and nasty teeth just complete the look. We suggest practicing your make-up before Halloween. Clown shoes are available almost anywhere for purchase. Top it off by adding your wig and red nose. And please don’t come by our house to trick-or-treat – we’ll just run and hide!

Frightening Fact:
Clowns were once the most revered of entertainers, and they trace their history back to ancient Egypt and China. They were the truth-tellers in Shakespearean theater. There’s an old vaudeville joke that even cannibals won’t eat clowns … because they taste funny.

Oh, and check out the site I Hate Clowns. I just love it!!

Do-It-Yourself Bride of Frankenstein Halloween Costume

It’s easy to see what Frankenstein sees in his Bride. She is quite a looker with that hair from Hell. Plus, she’s relatively quiet. Except for the grunting, squealing and screaming on occasion. The Bride of Frankenstein is an easy Halloween costume to do at home.

Items you will need:

Green makeup or body paint
A white, flowing dress
A long black wig
White spraypaint
Black high heels
Black fingernail polish
Black lipstick
Super-hold hairspray
Black eye shadow

It’s time to get all deaded up. Put on a white dress, the more flowing the better. Apply the green makeup or body paint to any part of your body that isn’t being covered by the dress and your shoes. Apply black makeup to your eyes, and black lipstick to your lips. Paint your fingernails black as well. Tease the black wig and use a ton of hairspray so that the hair sticks straight up. Use the white spraypaint to give the wig a white skunk-like streak up either side. Now you’re ready to party the night away with your Frankie by your side.

Frightening Fact:
Elsa Lancester, who played the Bride, was only 5’4″ but for the role was placed on stilts that made her 7′ tall. The bandages were placed so tightly on her that she was unable to move and had to be carried around the studio and fed through a straw. All that and she probably made 15 bucks a day!
