The 6 Scariest Halloween Costumes Ever Screamed At

4. Vampire

Vampire almost didn’t make this list, the reason being that this costume can be done on an incredibly lazy level. Someone can make their face pale, throw on a cape, and call themselves a vampire. So, while execution is not a factor in these rankings, let’s assume for the purpose of this list that people are at least attempting to fully use the costume.

For those really trying, its hard to make a vampire costume that’s not at least a little bit scary. Truthfully, I think the costume has recently experienced a bit of a renaissance if you will. While it may have been played out and getting repetitive, I argue that the resurfacing of the Vampire in pop culture through shows such as True Blood has actually allowed the costume to show consistent variation and change. Thus the vampire is one of the scariest Halloween costumes ever because of its duration as a potential scary outfit, and the recent increase in scary versions of it.
