About this costume

Not every Halloween costume idea needs a backstory, but this one's earned one: dredged-up, damp, and dripping with creature-feature energy, this monster costume for adults is built for anyone who wants a scary Halloween costume that doesn't look like everyone else's vampire or witch.

DIY this look

Building the swamp creature costume is a fun one-afternoon project, and it doesn't look like anyone else's Halloween costume.
  1. Start with a fitted dark green or olive base layer - leggings and a long sleeve top work.
  2. Brush the drip-gel kit along the shoulders and sleeves for a wet, mossy texture.
  3. Pull on the webbed gloves and finned hood last so the gel doesn't smear them.
  4. Add a little extra gel right before you leave the house - it dries faster than you'd think.
