Making your own costume? Buying one off the shelf? Either way, you’re gonna need some of the red stuff.

Fake blood is the cherry on top of many scary horror costumes, whether we’re talking zombies, vampires, or more exotic creations. After all, you don’t want to look like just another monster in the crowd. You want to look like you just came from a kill.

There are lots of different options for fake blood, from do-it-yourself recipes made with common household supplies to store-bought products of varying quality and price. There’s fake blood that looks fresh and runny… and stuff that’s thick and coagulated. There’s washable fake blood… and then there’s the type for staining clothes. There’s stuff that you can put in your mouth… and the stuff you really shouldn’t.

Bottom line, if you want an effectively gruesome costume, you need to put some thought into what kind of gore to pour. Keep reading to learn about some fake blood products that are a cut above the rest.

Sure, zombies are awesome and all, but don’t you think they’ve gotten a little out of hand? They’re in movies, TV shows, games – and on Halloween, they’re even on your block. It’s high time for somebody to cull the herd, and that somebody is the zombie hunter.

If you’re going for a different angle on the zombie craze, then a zombie hunter costume is a great option. Not only does it allow you to stand out from the hordes of walker wannabes, but it’s much easier to put together. No makeup or prosthetic wounds required – just a fake weapon and some badass apparel.

That said, some zombie hunters are better than others. You want to be more like the Daryl Dixon of zombie slayers, and less like that guy who gets neck-chomped while the opening credits are still rolling. Keep reading for our picks for the best off-the-shelf zombie hunter costumes, a list of do-it-yourself tips, and some recommended zombie-hunting gear.

The idea is simple. Get a group of friends together. Watch some movie you’re all familiar with. Drink every time something “typical” happens until you can no longer remember the rules or pay attention to the movie.

There’s a lot of debate about which movie is best for this sort of drinking game. But in terms of genres, the zombie movie has to be at or near the top. Here’s why:

Zombie movies and TV shows usually have thin plots, making them perfect for drunken viewing.
Zombie movies are full of well-known tropes.
Getting stumbling drunk is the closest most people will ever get to being an actual zombie.

All you need is a TV, a zombie movie (high quality or cheesy), some booze, and some friends willing to drink that booze. Oh, and the rules. We can help with that.

Zombies are everywhere these days, including in our ears. Songs about zombies have been around for a long time, but in recent years they’ve multiplied in step with all the new movies, books, and video games featuring the undead. We’ve reached a point where any dedicated zombie buff could put together a top 10 of zombie-themed songs without breaking a sweat.

Of course, if you want to rock out to zombie songs for hours, you’re gonna need more than 10 tunes. After all, how many times can you listen to Living Dead Girl?

To remedy this situation, we’ve put together a more expansive collection. Keep reading for a list of 50 songs related to the undead. It’s a perfect starting point if you’re hosting a zombie party – or just want to feed your zombie habit in a new way.

Why are masks so scary? It comes down to three things:

You can’t see the wearer’s real face, which is unsettling for most human beings.
When you hang them up, they look like decapitated heads.
Because sometimes they’re made to be scary.

At Halloween time, you can find all sorts of made-to-be-scary masks down at your friendly neighborhood costume shop. But if you want to find the absolute scariest Halloween masks, that takes some digging. Fortunately, we’ve done the digging for you – and you may be surprised (and horrified) by what we’ve excavated.
