Zombie Fancy Dress
Zombie costumes are a fun and creepy choice for Halloween, if you get the right outfit all you need to do is walk around with your arms out stretched and mumble and the look is complete. But if you want that extra authentic fancy dress outfit the most challenging part is getting the right Zombie costume, whether you are an adult, child, male or female then there is a huge range of options available.
There is a great selection of different zombie costume themes that can individualise any fancy dress outfit; you may prefer a punk zombie costume which is great for really standing out amidst that hobbling zombie crowd with your spiky hair and tattered jeans. Another great zombie fancy dress theme is the zombie doctor costumes which have crept up in many different zombie films over the years but I certainly wouldn’t let one of these medical practitioners near you with a stethoscope.
If you are inspired by the ‘Night of the Living Dead’ then you will certainly need to don some 1960’s clothing from tattered and ripped suits to flowered dresses. You will also need some serious dark make-up around the eyes to give you that seriously in need of a sleep look. The later film ‘Dawn of the Dead’ another hugely influential zombie film uses very similar fancy dress attire but this time with lots of added gore and perhaps the odd missing limb here or there.
There are no hard and fast rules on how zombies should look and act, so you can really go wild. Your zombie costume can be terrifying and impressive at the same time, and is fully customisable with a huge range of accessories.
If you would like to go for a slightly more recent zombie outfit then why not try a Shaun of the Dead costume, you can either go as one of the main characters including Shaun the appliance salesman (think white shirt, red tie and a cricket bat) or as one of the countless zombies from the Winchester pub.
One of the most popular zombie costumes is the grave groom zombie costume which is perfect for that Michael Jackson ‘Thriller’ look, with its suave but tattered suit and top hat it is a great costume to dance the streets. Don’t forget to add that white and black face paint for that extra effective zombie look. An idea for all those wannabe women zombie’s, the zombie bride costume is a terrifying outfit which includes a full white wedding dress and a veil. This is a great couples costume in conjunction with the grave groom zombie costume making you both stand out at any Halloween party.
There are loads of other great alternative zombie fancy dress themes including the pirate and buccaneer zombie costumes; these add a different slant to your average zombie costume with the added fun of eye-patches and swords.
