Homemade Zombie Halloween Costumes Tips and Tricks
One of the most diverse and wide costumes out there is actually the Zombie costume. You have the freedom to create whatever you like for your Zombie as they are just people risen from the dead. There are a few things that must be kept in tack to create a good Zombie costume though. The clothing should be ripped, burned and very tattered it should also look like it's been rotting in a grave for many years. A few good examples are the 3-d Zombie, Punk Zombie and Zombie Doctor costumes.
Homemade Zombie Costume
A Homemade Zombie costume is actually rather simple and do-able. Unfortunately though, unless you have crazy good face-paint skills you won't have ribs or bones showing like the zombie picture to the right. This is OK as you're probably saving money and people will still know what your costume is. To create your own Homemade Zombie costume you will need the following items
- Old oversized clothing
- Other colored clothing
- Fabric Glue
- Face Paint / Zombie Mask
To create the zombie costume you simply have to take the oversized clothing and starting cutting it up into shred. Then cut the other old clothing into strips, patches or whatever other shape and glue it to the oversized cut clothing. Your goal is to make the oversized clothing look tattered, beaten, scratched up and very very used. You may have to grab some charcoal and make the clothing look worn. Another way (not kid safe) is to use a lighter and burn holes or dark patches into the clothing.
For the Zombie face you have two options. First is using face paint to come up with something scary using your imagination or this guide. You will then want to add a long-haired messy wig to complete the Zombie costume. Another option is to get a Zombie Halloween Mask which can really put the whole costume together and save you money as you're only buying the mask and not whole outfit.

Medusa Halloween Costume
Medusa has a very storied history and is a unique and fun Halloween costume. Medusa was a very beautiful lady and the affection of many men. She eventually had relations with Poseidon in Athena's temple. Where upon, Athena caught them and placed a curse upon Medusa. The curse was that she would be so ugly that anyone who laid their eyes upon her would be turned to stone.
The Medusa costume is great on it's own as it's very recognizable or you can go with other characters of greek mythology. In this case you would consider Perseus (Male) who eventually beheads Medusa. Another option is Athena (Female) who places the curse upon Medusa. The final option is Poseidon as he was half the reason she had this curse places upon her.
The Medusa costume can be purchased so that it looks exactly like that from Clash of The Titans or it can be homemade. The store-bought Medusa includes a green dress, glovettes with draping fabric, snake headpiece (featuring 9 snakes), and leg ties. Check it out here.
Homemade Medusa Costume
To create a home-made Medusa costume we suggest you try to incorporate the roman theme and the Medusa theme. This means you will want to have leg wrappings that resemble the photo on the right. Combine this with a matching full-length green dress (or cut it to be a sexy-Medusa costume). The next thing to consider is the Medusa head-piece. You want to have a head-piece that everyone can recognize which means it must be full of snakes. You can buy cheap-plastic snakes at a dollar store and find a well fitting hat. You can then glue the snakes to the hat, cut out the top of the hat so your hair flows through it over and covers the hat. You should be left with just the snakes and your hair showing (ideally).
