About this costume

More silhouette than substance, the Shadow Wraith is the Halloween costume idea for anyone who'd rather haunt a room than walk into it. Layered black tatters and a faceless veil make this a striking, easy-to-build scary Halloween costume for teens and adults who want drama without a single visible prosthetic.

DIY this look

The Shadow Wraith costume is one of the easiest scary Halloween costumes to build because almost nothing about it needs to fit well.
  1. Layer several black fabric pieces of different textures - tulle, chiffon, an old curtain panel all work.
  2. Drape the faceless veil over your head and shoulders so no features show through.
  3. Hold the LED hand-wisps low at your sides for a floating, glowing effect.
  4. Set the fog puck near your feet right before you walk into the party.
