Do-It-Yourself Hunchback Halloween Costume

Being super ugly with bad posture is always a good, easy choice for a Halloween costume. Whether you call yourself A hunchback, THE Hunchback of Notre Dame or Igor, the costume is very simple.

Items you will need:

Hooded cape or extra-long dark shirt
Piece of rope (for a belt)
Wig
Gray make-up
Black greasepaint pencil
Really bad, crooked fake teeth
Black pants or tights
Black boots

Apply the gray make-up to your face first, then use the black pencil to darken underneath your eyes and your cheekbones. After getting dressed, stuff your cape or shirt with a pillow and tie your waist with the rope. Add your fake teeth and wig and wow, instant ugly! Make sure you stoop over the rest of the night and speak in crazy tones. You know, like you usually do! For retro fun, consider going as Marty Feldmans’s Igor (Eyegore), the hunchback from “Young Frankenstein”.

Frightening Fact:
Kyphosis is a spinal deformity that can result from trauma, developmental problems, or degenerative disease. It is a curving of the spine that causes a bowing of the back, which leads to a hunchback or slouching posture.
