Halloween Horrors: Five truly terrifying costumes for a night of fright

Whether or not you enjoy horror movies, chances are good that you have one villain that gives you the goosebumps. It’s now that time of year where you can find your favorite scary movies just by flipping through channels. We’ve narrowed down our list of movie villains to five that instill the most fear. You can be the hit at your Halloween party and dress up as one of these ghastly creatures!

5. Pennywise:

HalloweenCostumes.com points out that nearly 12% off adults in the U.S. have coulrophobia, or the fear of clowns. This evil clown costume will probably increase that number. Inspired by Stephen King, Pennywise was infamous for torturing people from beneath a sewage drain. There’s no way we’d leave Pennywise  out of our top five scary Halloween costumes. Adult Grand Heritage Pennywise Costume, $118.99, (plus up to 10% Cash Back), HalloweenCostumes.com

4. Jason:

Jason Voorhees wasn’t exactly the ideal summer camp host in his movies. Most famous in the Friday the 13th films, the unemotional Jason made his living by terrorizing teenagers. He cracks our top villain list at number four. Jason Hockey Mask, $7.99, (plus 16% Cash Back), SpiritHalloween.com

3. Scream:

This has been a popular Halloween costume for all ages since the Scream series began in the 1990’s. The Scream was known for playing mind tricks on its victims and coming out of nowhere. There are different variations of the costume and mask, though we like the classic look the most. Adult Ghost Face Scream 4 Halloween Costume, $29.95, (plus 4% Cash Back), Walmart.com

2. Chucky:

Chucky may be all grown up in this costume, but he still wants to play. The most menacing doll in any horror movie, Chucky could cause nightmares for any kid. Licensed Chucky Costume, $39.99, (plus 20% Cash Back), CostumeSuperCenter.com

1. Freddy Krueger: 

Nightmare on Elm Street remains one of the top horror movies of all-time. Freddy was a major part of that. Unlike many scary movie villains, he was more than just a scary face. Everything about Freddy causes chills, from the way he talks to his fedora. For that reason, he tops our list. For a limited time, get this officially licensed costume just in time for Halloween. Men’s Freddy Krueger Costume, $46.99, (plus 12% Cash Back), HalloweenExpress.com
