Grave Robbing Ghoul Halloween Costumes - Frightening Bogeyman

by Susan West

Frightening ghoul Halloween costumes are a popular favorite year after year. This style is a sort of generic catch all for spooky creatures, which leaves the category wide open for those with a creative eye. Those that fancy the dark and morbid can appreciate these disguises. Ideas for ghoul Halloween costumes are many, so start your holiday planning early.

A ghoul is, very simply, anything that is disturbing to our sensibilities. A grave robber, a malicious fictional evil spirit, and the bogeyman that has frightened children for generations - all fall into the category of “ghoul”. Though each character is unique, the ghoul is always an evil character. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Ghoul–Skeleton-Costumes-title0-p-1-c-335.html

Children have feared the storied bogeyman for years. He keeps them from sleeping, hides under the bed or lurks in the dark - all in their imagination, of course. We each have our own vision of what the bogeyman is from Oogie Boogie of Nightmare Before Christmas to a diabolical vision of half beast and half man or a devil with a tail.

This style of costume can be just about anything. A variety of masks are available to add dimension to your boogy man look. Get innovative by using a variety of materials to create a unique monster. Keep the kids wondering if it is you who is hiding under the bed and in the darkened closet each night! http://www.costumecauldron.com/Adult-Skeleton-Ghost-Costumes.html

Inspiration can be found in horror movies old and new as evil spirits come in any shape and size you can imagine. Your evil spirit can appear human as Jack Nicholson did in the Stephen King movie “”The Shining”". There are few things as frightening as a ghoul or evil spirit that seems to be normal….at first. Your costume may be of a persona so evil that it drools and hisses or may lurk in the corners waiting to pounce.

The popularity of ghoul Halloween costumes may be due to the adaptations of evil spirits that are legends in almost every culture around the world. The stories and the images vary from country to country but each is more terrifying than the last.

Human ghouls are another possibility for your costume. What is more evil than a grave robber? Invading the final resting place of the dead to steal valuable jewelry is about a low an occupation as a human could find. What if those grave robbers are stealing body parts rather than trinkets? Oh my - that does open the door to some great props and accessories for you, doesn’t it? You might carry a shovel and a bucket with a severed head or hand in it. You might carry a clear plastic bag filled with human organs and dismembered limbs.

Ready made ghoul Halloween costumes are available in a wide variety of styles. Choose from the Phantom of the Opera, an axe murderer or a mystical monster that lives only in our imagination. Add your props and your own special touches and have fun with this perennial favorite. Team up with a friend in a ghoulish partnership where one is a grave robber and the other an evil spirit trying to steal his ghastly haul. Edited by Hetsil Protage
