Scary Fancy Dress Costumes

Once upon a time people did not have television, radios and other gadgets to keep them entertained.
They did not get a million choices nor did they get bored with the few choices they did have.
Music was a special event, usually only heard when groups gathered.
Children were told stories around the fire to amuse them ... stories like the fairy tales that we still know and love today.
Today, we still have fairy tales, they are just told on grander and more expensive scales.
The movies that we watch tend to influence the fancy dress costumes that we wear.
The bigger the movie, the bigger the influence.

There are a number of different story lines for these scary fancy dress costumes from the teen and young adult story lines to the more adult versions of vampires and werewolves.
The creatures that scared you as a child may be the ones that make your heart pound as an adult.
Plus, the fancy dress costumes that you choose can work as part of a couples costume; vampire and victim, werewolf and mate, Mr. and Mrs. Dracula.
The male vampire costume, especially the old school version is one of the easiest to grab and put on and can be nothing more than black clothes and a cape and you are done.

But, these scary classics of the scary fancy dress costume world have only scratched the surface of what is available these days.
There are a number of other scary costumes beyond just the vampire or the werewolf including the mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and aliens.

No matter what kind of fancy dress costume you choose to wear, make sure that you are having a good time.
Choose what makes you feel good, whether that is simply good about how you look or good and scary.
You should wear the costume that you have dreamt of, even if that dream has caused you to sit up in bed screaming at night.
