Costume for pregnant women
We begin with one of the most amazing costumes of the night of the dead. It is about taking advantage of the pregnancy to give it a totally terrifying touch by emulating that the baby that is gestating, crosses the body of the mother taking out the extremities and, if you want, also the head. It is a pretty gloomy option that can cause, even repulsion, but the truth is that it is one of the most suitable for this special day.
In addition, doing it is the sea of simple! You just have to pick up a doll, cut off the legs, arms and head (if you want, if not, only with the extremities you'll get that effect) and stick it on a white shirt as if the baby was coming out. To give it a more realistic look, sprinkle a little red paint around the pieces as well as the shirt.
To add a touch of Halloween to your costume, it is best to put on one of the arms of the baby a mini pumpkin, symbol of this day, so you will emphasize the feeling that the child has a life of their own and wants to go out to celebrate the party with you.

Mummy Costume
Another of the best options to make an original Halloween costume is to wrap your whole body and personify a mummy fresh out of the sarcophagus. It is one of the suits that can be more elaborate but, the truth is that its creation is very simple because you only need white clothes and then several rolls of bandages that will serve to cover your body.
Above all, for you to be completely comfortable we recommend that you put on tights or white tights and a narrow shirt so that there are no bags and it is uncomfortable when you surround yourself with the bandages. Then, you just have to roll with these bandages from bottom to top, without squeezing too much so you can move. To fix them, you can use a stapler or glue stick, so you will prevent the disguise from falling apart in the middle of the night.
It is recommended that the eyes and hands are not bandaged, you can also leave the part of the face free to not overwhelm, as you want! What you will have to try is that if you leave something of your body in the air, it should be made with gray and black tones to increase that terrifying aspect.

Corpse Bride Costume
Tim Burton created Emily, the protagonist of the movie "The corpse bride", a milestone in his filmography and also a perfect character to dress up on Halloween night . It is a suit for girls that combines the wedding dress with dark elements, typical of the world of the dead.
To achieve this look you will have to make yourself with a long white dress (similar to bridal) but that is old and that you are willing to tear and dirty, it should give the appearance of the girl returns from the world of the dead. The best thing is that the suit is strapless or a word of honor because, one of the characteristic elements of the character, is that his arm is skeletal . so, we recommend that you use black makeup and draw with white paint the bones, you will be total!
The body of the corpse bride must be completely blue so both the face and the neckline and the other arm should be painted blue. The hair also has a bluish tone so you can choose to paint it with a spray of this color or, if you prefer, you can use a wig. Something characteristic is that it has a wreath of flowers, so on your hair you will have to wear a flower headband to achieve the perfect look.

Werewolf Costume
Another of the mythical characters of horror movies and mythology are the werewolves so an original Halloween costume will be dressed as this fearsome being. In addition, its preparation is very simple because you only have to make a denture, old clothes (we will have to break it a bit and dirty it) and patches of furry fabric that you can perfectly find in any costume store.
The idea is that you dress with a shirt and a cowboy that has breaks and that can get dirty. Under each torn piece, you must stick a piece of cloth patch with hair to make it look like your skin is full of fur, just like werewolves. The neck and chest will also have to be with these patches to achieve a realistic effect. Nor should you forget the typical canine fangs, you will be total!
The hairstyle should also be disheveled, because you have become a wild animal that lives in the forest. The same goes for your face, which you should make up by painting the nose in black, putting shadow around the mouth and drawing false eye-rings in the eyes.

The secret of this type of clothing lies in the makeup because you must paint all your face white and then give all the typical details: the eyes painted in a rounded and dark, the nose painted black to look like a Skull, red lips and black vertical stripes for a more sinister touch, etc.
The forehead and chin is free to add the drawing you want: from cobwebs to bouquets of flowers, whatever you want can be part of your costume! What you should not leave out is to wear many flowers on the head: you can wear a crown or loose flowers but you must give the image that you are full of flowers.
As far as clothing is concerned, it is best if you dress with a skirt and a shirt that has a skeleton drawn, so you will feel more like a corpse.
