1. Braaaaaiinnns!

Zombie halloween masks Or ribs, or a hand. Whatever your zombie appetite feels like munching on this Halloween, you'll look the part. Some stick-on wounds and a tube of fake blood, and you’re almost ready to be among the walking dead. This zombie is fresh from the grave and ready to devour some humans. Their decrepit buddy here has been buried for a while, so he’s hungry for flesh too! You can also scare the crowd from every angle with our three face mask. Or, if you prefer to be a haunting banshee, you'll have to embrace a tattered and torn getup for that 'just escaped from the grave' look. Just like the living, zombies are all types of people. Create your zombie story as an aeroplane pilot, a priest who once blessed the Parish, or even an NFL player.

2. Saw

4. Werewolf

werewolf halloween masks One of the scariest legends is the tale of the man who shapeshifts into a werewolf at night and howls at the full moon. Our Lunar Psycho Werewolf Mask is an intimidating over-sized face with a moving jaw to gnash on people, or animals. Once bitten but never shy is certainly the case in these gnarly-clawed fur gloves. If masks aren’t your style, you can transform your face with makeup, savage werewolf teeth, and a wig. Among our range of complete costumes, you'll find the Blood Moon werewolf has the entire werewolf aesthetic. Also, the 1980s classic movie Teen Wolf is an undoubted Halloween costume hit.

Halloween mask hot tips

Let’s not sugar coat it. You will get sweaty under your mask when wearing it all night long. Here’s what you can do to stay comfortable and keep up your persona:
  1. Give your face a good clean when you get ready. Skip the moisturiser if possible, and go makeup free for maximum comfort.
  2. Turn the mask inside out then lightly dust the mask with talcum powder before you put it on.
  3. Take some tissues or baby wipes with you to wipe the excess sweat off of your face and from inside the mask throughout the night.
  4. Take regular breaks from wearing the mask during the night. You don’t need to suffer for the art of Halloween.
  5. When Halloween is over, clean the mask with wipes; let it dry properly, and dust it with talcum powder before you pack it away. You might want to wear it again next year!

5. Gothic retaliator, The Crow

The crow halloween mask Nineties cult film The Crow is synonymous with Halloween’s dark themes. In the film, Eric Draven rises from the grave to avenge the murder of him and his fiance. The couple were to be married the following day on Halloween. Not so serendipitous! Our macabre Draven mask means no fussy makeup applications are necessary. Dress in black from head to toe, and throw in some leather or PVC pants if you can!

6. Raise all hell

Our mask is latex with glue-on plastic pins will have you ready to tear some souls apart. If it’s the full suit you are after, our licensed Hellraiser costume has everything you need to be Pinhead.

7. Evil clowns

Some of these are so horrific you will be reluctant to check your look in the mirror on your way out. Grab a weapon of choice, and you are ready to trick or treat.
