Halloween

Costumes and decorations

The veil between the worlds grows thinner every night. Soon they will cross over to haunt us. To remind us that only one thing is certain in life. But we are prepared. With holy water, carved pumpkins, garlic and polished silver, we stand ready to defend what we hold dear in life. The time of gloomy autumn, covered in the fog of All Hallows' Eve, is a time made of a thousand dark tales. Many are sombre, even more are mischievous. Some are mournful, others outright heinous. The danse macabre must go on, and while it is all too easy to be lost within a dark forest or haunted house, fear not: You are about to be eerily inspired!

Face the Monster!

Scary stories are full of fearful faces, and often a prosthetic that partly covers the face can be more frightening than a full mask. One such example is the zombie brow. Apply it with our mastix spirit gum and a bit of make-up, and you are ready to scare the residents of your neighbourhood after dark. While many dark tales feature monsters that both look and act the part, there are also the ones where the persona contrasts the exterior: A beautiful creature secretly committing horrendous deeds or a gentle soul trapped behind a twisted visage. The scary face is part of many stories. No matter how you face, remember to apply our mastix spirit gum remover to return gently to your regular everyday face.

Bloody Business!

In special effects, fake blood serves a universal function, like gaffer tape in some do-it-yourself projects. Bite a blood capsule and appear menacing, if not outright vampiric; smudge a bit of blood on your face to appear wounded or eerily depraved. A last and horrifying option is to use extensive amounts of effect blood for a monster, crime scene or sinister display. The application of effect blood need not reach the levels of Dead Alive (1992) to be frighteningly gory. Every drop is a choice by those who design the dark tales. How will yours unfold?

Death and Decay!

All Hallows' Eve is just as much about decoration as costuming. The same goes for LARP settings, where horror is a thematic component. A sure way to make any location creepy is the presence of death. From a natural point of view, it indicates that the place is dangerous because someone died here, but from a supernatural perspective, it can mean so much more. When adding death to the scene, we recommend a few patches of blood spills, a pile of stray bones or perhaps even a full-sized skeleton from our Game Props collection. Have a look as Joel demonstrates how you can make bones even scarier with a bit of wood stain, plastic wrap and a heat gun. Boo!

Zombies, run!

Learn how to create a convincing zombie look using special effect liquid latex and make-up from our Epic Effect line for Halloween, LARP, cosplay or any other scary occasions.

A quick and easy fix for Halloween

If you are looking for fabulously eerie mask for Halloween our latex masks are an excellent choice and a great alternative to the cheaper plastic masks that break easily. Designed by Atelier Fantastic’Art and made from thick 100% natural high-quality latex these masks are strong and durable. The masks cover the whole face--including over the chin--with roomy holes around the eyes and nose for comfort. Fastened at the back with a broad and sturdy elastic band and a bow tie buckle, the size fits most. Perfect for the machete-wielding murderer, that needs to hide his deformed face! We suggest styling the mask with one of Epic Armoury’s daggers, for example the Bowie, for an extra uncanny look!

Echoes of the Fallen

“Beyond flickering torchlight, a silhouette arises - half-shadow, half-starved for vengeance. Whispers claim the end of days walks among us. Yet fear is here to serve, not consume.”For those who wish to step deeper into the darkness, let these potent archetypes fuel your costuming imagination:

Knight of the Apocalypse: Enshroud yourself in the unsettling grace of the Undead Neck & Shoulder Set, its Epic Black spaulders and gorget whispering of bone‑chilling loyalty to a power beyond death itself.

Monster Hunter: Pull your brim low and steady your aim. The Coat Hellsing – Leather drapes you in purpose - practical, yet dramatic.

Undead Warrior: Grip the vile beauty of the Marauder Sword - its skeleton‑face crossguard, flayed‑skin handle, and spiked pommel are forged nightmares made real.

Marks of the Macabre

Not all horrors need masks to take shape — some are etched upon the skin itself. Our special effects transfers and tattoos breathe chilling life into your disguise, whether you walk as a bloodied victim, a scarred pirate, or a clown with a smile that cuts too deep. A gunshot wound transfer can make your costume scream with realism, while Zombie Cheek Decay and bite marks lend the stench of the grave to your undead guise. Adorn yourself with a Tribal Tattoo to stride as a hardened biker, or streak your face with bloody scratches to appear fresh from battle. These gruesome details cling like real wounds and ink, turning every glance into a shiver!
