Grim Reaper Costume for 2010
Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. Usually, I spend weeks and weeks preparing for it. I make the best Halloween costume I can, and I usually get some very positive reactions. Nevertheless, last year there was a change. I was just coming into town the day before Halloween from an extended business trip, and I knew I would have no time to put together a costume. I had to find something that I could assemble quickly but that was still impressive and in the spirit of the holiday. That is why I wore a Grim Reaper Halloween costume.
A Grim Reaper costume is actually a pretty easy thing to assemble. If you want to keep it very basic, you can get by with a cloak with a dark hood and some face paint. Ad a scythe and you’ve gone a bit further. For my Grim Reaper costume, however, I wanted to get a better effect. I wanted to look truly creepy. I decided to shave my head and paint my entire face white with black outlines around my eye sockets and my nose. I painted my hands in a similar style to give a skeleton look to my fingers. It was done in a subtle way – I have a friend who is a great make up artist – so that it wasn’t immediately apparent. At first glance, I looked a little pale and sickly. It was only at second glance when I appeared as if my bones were showing through.
Needless to say, my Grim Reaper costume was a big success. Grim Reaper costumes and other distinctly Halloween outfits usually are. Even if you don’t put that much effort into it, people love to see ghosts and goblins and ghouls of all kinds. I was lucky enough to be the only person in the party I was at with a Grim Reaper costume. I had been to Halloween parties before with three or four different people all dressed up as the Grim Reaper, and I was afraid that that was going to be the deal today. It is nice to be at least somewhat unique, even if your costume is not very original. And thanks to my friend, I had one of the best Grim Reaper costumes there were. Few people take time to get the makeup right, and doing so made me outshine most of the other Grim Reapers who were no doubt were out that night.

Grim Reaper Costume
There’s a special occasion that only comes around once each year. It’s a day when millions and millions of kids and adults alike get stoked about dressing up. Although it’s only for one day, everyone relishes the idea of slipping into a disguise or monster get-up of some sort. You’ve probably already guessed that I’m speaking of Halloween. This exciting holiday is not just about tricks and treats. It’s about escapism and frolicking in the dark streets. Now, the question is, what will you be for Halloween this year? Maybe it’s time to try out a grim reaper costume.

If the reaper doesn’t get you a rise out of little trick-or-treators, I don’t know what costume will. Imagine the doorbell ringing. You glide soft toward the door. As you pull it open, the dark night drapes over your terrifying grim reaper costume. You stand tall and pale with your scythe in hand. At this point all the tiny trick-or-treators gasp in horror. Okay, granted it only lasts for a second, and then they just want their goodies. But, isn’t it great to get that legitimate fright out of them on Halloween night? It’s not just for your satisfaction, but it’s for them as well. Children look forward to a fright or two on Halloween. It’s what we all expected as children and it made the night fun.
