Clown Halloween Costumes: Big Shoes, Slapstick And Laughs
Fewer costumes are as versatile as clown Halloween costumes are
. Whether you opt for traditional happy clown make up or a scary evil clown mask, you can set the tone of your look to be anything you like. For some, the theme is a happy reminder of childhood joys and good fun. For others, clown Halloween costumes are as terrifying as it gets.Keep it simple by choosing a wig and baggy pants with big suspenders. Use greasepaint on your face, stick on a bulbous red nose and a silly hat and you're ready to go trick or treating. You can add to this look with oversized shoes, a trick necktie or flower, gloves and a ridiculous hat and easily create the look of a circus clown. The same supplies can be used no matter which tone you choose for your clown disguise. http://www.costumecauldron.com/Adult-Scary-Evil-Clown-Costumes.html
The style of the character you create can be humorous or frightening. This is called the tone of the costume. With a clown Halloween costume it's easy to alter the tone from silly slapstick to terrifying and evil. The trick to creating a sense of danger is to take an innocent and well-loved character such as a clown and twist it slightly. Making your character seem just slightly warped increases the fright factor.
Happy clown Halloween costumes tend to include bright colors, sometimes-baggy clothes; bright hair wigs, and usually face paint. We usually associate these clowns with "good times," such as birthdays or carnivals. Of course, some people already find these gaudy creatures frightening without any added intent by those wearing the attire. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Clown--Mime-Costumes-title0-p-1-c-356.html
Scary evil clown Halloween costumes can include the same components, but with an added twist. Splash on some fake blood to make them wonder what Bozo was doing behind the circus tent. Add a prop and even the friendliest clown look will have the children in tears. Weapon props are a good choice, a long machete (think Friday the 13th) or a meat cleaver. Go further and add a severed head (I assume I do not have to reiterate the "fake" here). Even the most minor of additions can completely shift the tone of your look.
When using face paints, pretest on a small area to be certain you aren't allergic to the ingredients. Traditional stage makeup (grease paint) is available and gives the best coverage on your face. It is less likely to cause an allergic reaction or to run or fade than cheaper paints created only for Halloween sales. Drawing the mouth shape with a black grease pencil before adding the color will help prevent colors from bleeding.
A clown mask is a good alternative to those who have no desire to get paint all over their face, or if anyone is concerned about allergies to face paint. The only downside to using a mask is once you choose the style you like, you are stuck with it for all future uses. If you are a one Halloween per mask kind of celebrator, then this will not be a problem. However, if you like to get extra mileage out of what you buy, you may reconsider the face paint.
Create a clown Halloween costume that is uniquely you. Plan the look you want to achieve and go for it. Get your supplies together, choose the clothes you'll wear, draw a simple design for face paint or buy a mask. Clowns can be hilarious, devious, sad, or threatening - there is no right or wrong clown Halloween costume. Turn yourself into a clown and have some fun. Edited by Hetsil Protage
