Striped hair, striped clothes, polka dots, rubber noses, and those annoying flowers that spray water; clowns are obnoxious. They’re meant to be humorous and put a smile on the faces of children everywhere, but most children are simply creeped out by their massive feet, insincere smiles, and freakish eyes. Horror movies and novels have taken advantage of this all too natural and understandable fear. From Steven King’s taunting, teasing clown to the killers from outer space, clowns are often turned into things of nightmares. You can now take advantage of this trend to create Halloween outfits that will have the children in your neighborhood running for their mother’s skirts.
The great thing about Halloween outfits is that the only limit is your imagination. While it’s true that most circuses don’t feature clowns with deadly, pointed teeth; adding a set of dagger-like teeth will turn innocent clown costumes into terrifying mens Halloween costumes.
Take inspiration from scary clowns in the movies for creating fancy dress Halloween outfits that are suitable for any party. One thing that makes Pennywise of Steven King fame so terrifying is the glowing, yellow eyes. Claws for hands didn’t do much for his cuddly-factor, the Pennywise mask is a fantastic addition to your Halloween costumes wardrobe. When shopping for your halloween accessories, be sure to check out the artificial hands. Monster hands or zombie hands could also be just the ticket to transfrom you from friendly to foul. Another simple change that you can to most costumes for Halloween is to simply rub your hands in dirt. Clowns are creepy enough on their own, but add dirt under the nails and some carefully placed rust-coloured stains, and you will transform creepy into positively evil.
Other accessories to upgrade clown costumes to frighteningly perfect mens Halloween costumes include chains and whips. After all, every good clown needs accessories to help him work his magic. Add some chains for catching your pretty little prey. A whip can be hung casually around the neck for a simple, yet highly effective, shift from friendly clown to killer clown. Or, take even more inspiration from Pennywise and simply carry a little toy boat. See if you can borrow a little kid to put his hands in red paint and then grip the boat. The effect of a blood stained handprint can be extremely powerful.
Killer Clowns from Outer Space may have been a laughable movie with a weak plot, but they did a fine job of creating clowns that could make anyone avoid the circus. The fangs were a big part of the fear factor, but so was the wrinkly skin. Before caking on the white make-up, give yourself some fake wrinkles. Don’t forget about the flower that sprays “poison”.
Clowns have a creep factor all of their own. You can take advantage of this by adding some simple accessories to your clown mens Halloween costumes. You and your friends can be prepared for the fancy dress Halloween party with these clever clown Halloween Outfits.
