Halloween Makeup: Freddy’s Still the Best

In my opinion, Halloween makeup has never had a better inspiration than Freddy Krueger. As someone who came of age in the 80’s, that glorious decade of excess and purple leg warmers, the first Nightmare on Elm Street will be forever etched in my mind as the one of the scariest horror movies I’ve ever seen. And I think that’s mostly because Freddy was real enough to truly terrorize without going over the top. The fear of going to sleep, friends getting knocked off one-by-one, and a final showdown with a decomposing, reincarnated child murderer- this movie has it all. No-Doz, anyone?

Here’s some inspiration for making a really goofy costume with Halloween prosthetics. Get yourself a pig nose, and pretend to be a cursed heiress, just like in Penelope. You could always give it a horror movie twist by adding some Halloween makeup like blood or scarring.
