These days people will dress up as pretty much anything for Halloween. However, some people like to stick to the scary Halloween costumes that the holiday is known for. There are a lot of different options available if you are one of these people. The simplest way to get scary Halloween costumes is to buy them. You can buy costumes based on characters from horror movies (such as Freddy, Jason, the Scream costume, and many others) or you can go with more traditional choices like ghosts, witches, zombies, and Frankenstein. Most websites and stores that sell Halloween costumes will have a selection of these types to choose from.

However, if you want to get really scary Halloween costumes that will have a better chance of scaring people other than just really little kids, you might be better off letting your creativity run wild and creating the costume yourself. People are more used to seeing the costumes sold in the stores, and aren't as likely to be scared of them. Something different is more likely to be a bit more of a shock. You can get wigs, makeup, and old clothes to use as the basis of your costume, and there are a number of different websites that can help you to figure out how to put everything together.

To make the most of your scary Halloween costumes, you won't want to just walk around in plain sight. You will want to hide and jump out at people so you startle them, since they will be more likely to be scared, at least for a few seconds, in this type of situation.

The absolute best use for truly scary Halloween costumes has to be helping out at one of the many haunted houses that are set up for Halloween. People expect scary things to jump out at them, and won't be mad if you jump out and shout boo. It is a lot of fun to see people's reactions as well to the various tricks of the trade that are used in haunted houses. Maybe you could even set up one of your own for the trick or treaters or people who come to a Halloween party at your house.
