How To Make Creepy Teens Costumes

Some teens this year want to take their Halloween costume to a different level -- an uber-creepy level, that is. Halloween is traditionally creepy, and a lot of teens love upping costumes to an extremely creepy level (whether approving moms like it or not). Here are ways teens can turn their Halloween costume very, very creepy.

Blood Like Wine

Here's an easy way teens can turn that costume very creepy. Use blood ? fake blood, of course ? to authenticate your scary costume. Blood capsules are sold in most retail outlets during the Halloween season, and usually retail for very cheap. Fake blood also comes in tubes or you can make your own. There are many recipes on the internet on how teens can recreate this for your teen?s costume.

Here are some other ideas: Put a blood capsule in your mouth and let it dribble down your chin. Squeeze fake blood on your Halloween costume for a very creepy effect. Paint fake blood on your face. Watch heads turns and voices stifle.

Contacts of All Different Shades

Dress up your eyes this Halloween, but not with makeup. Make your eyes super creepy with colored contacts.

We first saw colored contacts in Michael Jackson's Thriller, when MJ wore werewolf-colored contacts with his costume. It's been over 20 years since Thriller, and now everyone can get creepy contacts for Halloween celebration. There are so many types such as cat eyes, albino-colored, and contacts with strange shades such as deep red or bright green. Teens need to visit a eye care store, such as Pearle Vision, to get these Halloween contacts, but they're fairly easy to get.

These Teeth Aren't Real!

Not all teens want sparkly, straight white teeth. Make your Halloween costume creepy this year by investing in some teeth.

You have many choices when it comes to fake teeth: vampire teeth, missing teeth, gapped teeth, yellow teeth, animal teeth, etc. Teens should find teeth that'll fit their costume. Better yet, pair these gnarly chompers with blood for an extra kick. Fake teeth can be bought at most retail outlets around the Halloween season, such as Wal-Mart or Target. They're usually super cheap for teens too.

Fake Gashes and Gushing Wounds

Want to gross someone out? Invest in a fake gashes kit.

Fake gashes can be bought at any store, and they usually come with putty, some makeup, and blood capsules. You take the putty, put it on the area you want to make uber-creepy, and paint realistic makeup over it. You then take the blood and squirt it on. Wear it with a creepy costume and scare everyone this Halloween season.

As you can see, there are so many creepy options for teens this Halloween season. Take your costume to the next level by using blood, contacts, fake teeth, or fake gashes for that authentically creepy Halloween look. You'll scare everyone, maybe even a few teachers in the process! It isn't Halloween without scary costumes, so dress it up in a sinister way. Teens costumes don't always have to be pretty.
