Zombies are too busy pursuing their next meal to worry much about fashion. They usually just shamble around in whatever clothes they were wearing when they were infected, no matter how tattered, moldy or bloodstained they become. Let’s face it, zombies are slobs.

That doesn’t mean it’s easy to dress like a zombie, though. Making clothes that look authentically nasty takes some thought.

There are lots of video tutorials online showing you how to make zombies clothes. However, many of them are specific to a particular flavor of zombie, so the exact techniques may not apply to you. Also, the amount of effort involved – not to mention the supplies – varies a lot.

This guide will lay out the general steps to create the perfect zombie outfit for your needs and level of expertise and/or interest. Along the way, we’ll provide plenty of specific ideas and pointers to help put your DIY zombie costume over the top.

When you think about it, zombie pranks shouldn’t work, ever. After all, no one thinks zombies actually exist. So why would anyone believe for a second that a prankster shambling toward them in a zombie getup is the real deal?

The answer is that you don’t have to believe that what’s chasing you is a bonafide zombie to become scared shitless. When you see a bloody creature creeping toward you, your first thought isn’t to study the thing to see if it’s genuine. No, this is where instinct takes over, telling you empty your bowels and run like hell.

Still, there’s a reason people are more likely to fall for a zombie prank than one featuring, say, vampires, werewolves, or mummies. It’s the hideous realism of the costumes and makeup. If you think you’re immune to such gory special effects, you obviously haven’t seen what a truly demented zombie prankster is capable of.

To illustrate, here are five of the most awful/awesome zombie pranks of all time. Needless to say, these are elaborate, extreme, borderline asshole-ish stunts that should never be repeated.

Finding the Best Fake Blood For Your Costume

March 4, 2018

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.

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.
