Vampire costumes are one of the great iconic images of Halloween, but there are several other things that come to mind – like Skeleton Costumes.
Skeletons have been the image of death and scary afflictions for centuries. Think about it, the Grim Reaper, the skull and cross bones is not only the emblem for pirates but also to designate poison. So it should come to no surprise that skeleton costumes are prolific during the trick or treat season.
I can name several movies right off the top of my head that have morbid, scary or evil skeletal characters. The original Karate Kid had the bad guys dressed in Halloween Skeleton Costumes, Donnie Darko had a skeleton suit, The Mummy movie series has Egyptian skeleton guards that attack Brendon Frasier, Ghoust Rider, and I am sure the list goes on!
The thing is, since it is such a popular topic, merchandisers are always looking for new and interesting skeleton outfits. You can find scary ones, sexy Halloween outfits, the Grim Reaper, etc. And if you are really creative you can get different accessories like rusty chains and machetes and the like to terrify passers by this Halloween season.
