First off, you need to give yourself a really spooky image. -
Step 2: Base your style on a mixture of famous horror idols.
Dracula's fangs and cape can really accentuate a spooky outfit, and Frankenstein's stitching and mechanical accessories also make a great start.
Remember that Halloween is a great time to stock up on essentials for a cost that doesn't leave your "spiderweb purse" empty! , Makeup is essential on both men and women.
A pale white face with some eye makeup as dark as your soul are utterly essential (unless you're aiming for a Frankenstein/Zombie look, where pale green tinges are acceptable)!
