Zombie Fancy Dress - 3 Great Ideas For Zombie Halloween Costumes This Year

Zombie fancy dress costumes have always been amongst the most popular scary outfits worn at Halloween parties. Inspired by the numerous horror flicks made in the sixties and the seventies, zombie Halloween costumes are always guaranteed to make an impression at the costume party or while out Trick or Treating.

Nowadays, there are a wide range of zombie Halloween costumes to choose from. So much so that there are actually specialist zombie fancy dress websites online to help you make the perfect choice of an outfit that will best suit you.

Below we have a look at three great ideas for zombie Halloween costumes this year, whether you are a man, woman or child looking for an awesome scary outfit at this year's party.

Idea One: Men's Zombie Costumes

Men's zombie outfits basically fall into two main categories; the classic looking zombie fancy dress costume and those outfits that are inspired by the world's most famous zombie, Frankenstein's monster. The classic zombie costumes are usually based around a set of tattered clothing, normally a shirt and a pair of trousers, which show grey flesh and even decaying body parts. These types of outfits are usually completed with a grey latex zombie mask and generally look very impressive. Meanwhile, the Frankenstein fancy dress costumes are more often than not a little more comical looking and consist of an ill-fitting suit, big clunky boot tops and of course a green latex Frankenstein mask, with the infamous bolt through the neck.

Idea Two: Ladies Zombie Costumes

Ladies zombie outfits are usually female variations of the men's zombie Halloween costumes, with grey flesh tones and open wounds sticking out of tattered clothes. Often, themes such as the zombie prom queen or the extremely popular zombie bride are used, which in a way, make these zombie fancy dress outfits even more sinister than their male counterparts.

Idea Three: Children's Zombie Costumes

There are also some really cool children's zombie outfits, ensuring that the kids can join in the fun at the upcoming party. The mini versions of the Frankenstein monster are always popular amongst the younger kids and some of the outfits for the younger children are actually quite cute looking. However, for older children and teenagers there is a really good range of zombie punk outfits that include some awesome accessories such as the zombie punk's skateboard, which make the perfect Trick or Treating outfits over the Halloween period.

What Makes a Stand-Out Halloween Costume?

Cool Halloween costumes stand out from the crowd. If you want to make Halloween a little more special this year, it's time for you to come out with a great costume that really makes a statement.

Hey, you could be just another Frankenstein's monster. There's no law prohibiting you from being yet another in the endless line of run-of-the-mill pirates. You could just slide a mask over your head and call it good. But if you want to make a real impact, you need to start thinking about cool Halloween costumes.

What makes a costume cool? There are a variety of factors at play. Let's look at a few.

• Uniqueness
  
  Being different is one way to join the ranks of those wearing cool Halloween costumes. If you can come up with something a little different than the rest of the crowd, you'll be in a great position. That might involve a little do-it-yourself work or it might just mean scouring the Internet for costumes that can't be easily found in your area.


• Quality
  
  A wolf man costume consisting of a five dollar rubber mask and a little patch of phony fur hear and there isn't going to knock anyone out. It's possible to elevate that classic standard, though, with a little extra effort, attention to detail and costume quality. Cool Halloween costumes stand out because they distinguish themselves from the bulk of offerings. Quality is one way to make the jump to a different level.


• Boldness
  
  You can go in a variety of different directions with your costume. You can shoot for scary. You can go for laughs. You can push sex appeal. When it comes to cool Halloween costumes, it's less about the statement and more about how boldly you can make it. If you're going to be scary, leave them in tears. If you want to be funny, make sure you'll be getting huge laughs. If the plan calls for sexy, leave them salivating.

Don't hold back. Boldness is at the heart of memorable cool Halloween costumes.

Why Do We Wear Halloween Costumes?

These days, both kids and adults delight in dressing up in all manner of costumes for Halloween; whether it's the latest pop culture icons or some classic character of literature, they can be fun. Yet, where did this all come from?

Originally, Halloween was a pagan celebration known as Samhain (pronounced Sow-in), and people believed that the spirits of the dead returned for that night. People used a two-fold method to protect themselves from being carried off. First, they left baskets of food at the edge of their villages as offerings, and second, they dressed up in elaborate costumes to hide from the dead. These were simple costumes of heavy cloth and a mask usually made to resemble a fierce animal.

When Samhain became the Eve of All Saints' Day - All Hallow's Eve - the Halloween costumes came in line with church doctrine: saints, nuns, monks and so on; although the occasional demon or ghost would creep in.

By the time the holiday came to America, in the latter part of the nineteenth century, it was seen as a time for adults to get together for a spirited party - with plenty of "spirits" - and no costumes. It wasn't until the Baby Boom that Halloween became a time of fun costumes as children dressed up in everything from pirates to policemen to spacemen outfits. Many clothing companies began manufacturing Halloween costumes and plastic masks but some of them were highly flammable. Over time, they were made safer and more elaborate. Also, more types of costumes were added as teens and adults began to wear them more often. People could dress as a favourite literary character, TV personality or pop culture icon. Today, people can dress up as anyone from Harry Potter to Dracula and even President Obama - and some would debate as to which is the most terrifying.
