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.
  1. Start with any oversized dark hooded robe - the baggier the better.
  2. Pull the hood low and slip on the skeletal gloves so no skin shows at the wrists.
  3. Hold the foam scythe in both hands and let the cold-fog fan trail behind you for entrances.
  4. Skip face makeup entirely - the hood shadow is the whole effect.
