About this costume
Punctual, inevitable, and somehow the best-dressed guest at the party - the Grim Reaper costume is the scary Halloween costume idea for anyone who wants maximum menace with minimum assembly. A tattered hooded robe and a prop scythe turn this into one of the easiest Halloween costumes for teens and adults to pull together fast.
DIY this look
The Grim Reaper costume is proof that a great Halloween costume doesn't need a face at all - just fabric, gloves, and good posture.
- Start with any oversized dark hooded robe - the baggier the better.
- Pull the hood low and slip on the skeletal gloves so no skin shows at the wrists.
- Hold the foam scythe in both hands and let the cold-fog fan trail behind you for entrances.
- Skip face makeup entirely - the hood shadow is the whole effect.
