He sees you when you sleep… and he’s definitely not someone you want to see. This classic Freddy Krueger look from Nightmare on Elm Street takes revenge on a classic that still scares us years after its release.

Although it is recommended as a duo costume (since a pair of twins usually consists of two people), a twin alone is still pretty scary, especially if you The Shining – The Wonderful World of Madness. All work and no play may make Jack a boring boy, but dressing up as one of the scary twins from the classic horror film is definitely anything but boring.

You could honestly make this costume yourself by wearing a button-down shirt and pants combo you already own and inventing a mask and machete, but if you really want to go for authenticity, look no further than this Jason look from Friday the 13th.

No one will be able to look into your (milky white) eyes when you wear this flexible demon mask. (But beware: Amazon reviewers say it can be difficult to see through.)

This costume has a neat trick: Since the shoulders and neck are fake and worn over your head, it looks like you’re holding your own face in your hands. Who needs a headless horseman when you’ve got this?

Why is this jack-o-lantern smiling? You can tell, for no good reason! This costume comes with a tunic, collar, belt and mask – all you need to add is the wig.

The film Terrorbringer and its sequel are proven word-of-mouth hits, but you’re sure to scare people who’ve never heard of Art the Clown in this costume – the aura is just too creepy. This costume comes with the clown outfit and teeth, so you’ll have to apply your own scary clown makeup.

Step into the scariest show on earth! This costume includes a mask, jacket, vest, tie and top hat, but you’ll need to bring your own sense of showmanship. You can also purchase a matching Skeleton Ringmaster costume if you want to do a double act.

After this year’s Scream VIGhostface is back on top! Scare your friends who also like movies with this Scream Costume. It comes with a mask and cape, but you will need to find your own prop knife.

Sometimes what you don’t see is the scariest thing. This costume features a black full body suit and light-up glasses so you can be the glowing eyes in the night.

No one wants to be trapped overnight with this living animatronic demon! This is the titular Freddy Fazbear, but there are also kids’ costumes for Foxy, Chica, and Bonnie, all of which are equally scary.

You don’t have to have seen it The Cleansing to find these glowing masks disturbing. They come in several colors, but be careful: the laws still apply when you wear them.

The best thing about this costume is that you can come up with the ghost bride’s backstory. Was she jilted on her wedding day? Did she die before she could walk down the aisle? You decide. This costume comes with a dress and veil.

There are many clowns on this list, and each one deserves their place in a different way. This costume is inflatable, and its oversized proportions make it even more disturbing.

With a new Nun film coming to cinemas this year, perhaps it is time to revive this old haunting. The horror is in this incantation universe-inspired outfit. Bonus: The unisex bathrobe itself is comfortable too.
