Horror.com's Halloween Costume Idea Closet 2008
NOTE: Re-Upped from 2008... stay tuned for our 2009 Halloween Costume Suggestion column!
Avoiding the obvious and most-well known genre icons (Carrie, Freddie, Regan, Jason, Leatherface, Baby Firefly, Bride of Chucky / Frankenstein / Dracula, etc.), Horror.com compiled a list of out-of-the box Halloween costumes that you can get creative with! (It's fun to spend the entire night explaining to everyone who you're supposed to be, right?)
Many of these will work as couples' costumes: Laura and Volpe from Parasomnia; GraveRobber and Amber Sweet from Repo The Genetic Opera; Angela and Scott from Quarantine; or a stylish 1970s giallo victim and her black-gloved stalker from any Dario Argento movie!
