Vampire Costume

You can make this simple costume on your own. Simply wear a black pants, white shirt, black shoes and black socks. Use hair gel or oil for your hair. Use a black cloth as a cape over your shoulders. Get a bow and fake fangs from a store.

Put white makeup all over your face and then use a black makeup to form a widow’s peak right from your hair up to the forehead. After that, use a red makeup to create blood dripping from any side of your mouth. If you make this costume and wear it, you will see people staring at you in awe.

Ghost Costume

You can wear a full-sleeve shirt (preferably white in color) and then drape a white fabric over the head such that it is uniformly distributed from every side and covers the entire body. Mark where your eyes are situated on the clothing and then cut the eyes out. Wear a cap facing backwards.

Pin the fabric to the cap in order to keep it in place. Apply black makeup around your eyes to enhance the scary appearance. Put on white gloves, shoes, socks and presto, and the scary ghost would become alive.

Nerd Costume

Although these creative adult Halloween costumes will not scare away people, they will certainly get you more attention and laughs. Wear a check shirt and bow. Now put on shorts and then pull it up using suspenders to enhance the nerdy look.

Black shoes and white socks would be perfect for your feet. Using hair gel, part your hair right in the middle to have that unique flat hair look. A big pair of glasses would complete the nerd look. For additional effects, you can carry a big book with you.

Animal Costume

This is also one of the best ideas while making creative adult Halloween costumes. Animal costumes are perfect for both creative costumes for kids and great Halloween costumes for adults. One of the most popular animal-themed costumes is the octopus costume.

To make this costume, begin by creating the facial features of the octopus, such as the eyes, by cutting out felt sheets. Now glue these features on a sweatshirt with glue. Use 4 pairs of socks to make the legs of the octopus. Stuff plastic grocery bags inside every sock to make them look like legs. Tape socks inside the sweatshirt waistband. All these features will create an attractive octopus costume.
