This is a costume inspired by waking the dead. We took a foam board and cut a hole in the middle for my son, then my hubby took PVC pipes and made a harness for him to wear that went over his shoulders and under the foam board so that it would stay flat & not tilt down. Then we covered it with moss, leaves and a black crow. I attached a foam head stone to the back which light up when he walked. We then did the standard zombie makeup and clothes. He got many compliments on it.

We are dressed as a family who became infected as zombies while visiting Disney World, and poor Mickey Mouse who greeted the zombie children.

Last year, our family attended the Denver Zombie Crawl and had a great time. This summer, we celebrated a trip to Disney World. While at the Magic Kingdom, my son mentioned that the park would be fun for the Zombie Crawl. He followed, by asking what if all the guests became zombies? His comment was the inspiration for our family costume.

Yes, there really was a comic series devoted to zombie marvel characters. Not only did it inspire this Zombie Incredible Hulk costume, but a Zombie Spiderman costume as well.

You better take Frankie’s advice or you could end up like the guy in the coffin. This Frankenstein costume is pretty elaborate and looks like 2 people are involved, when it’s really only one.

Look out! It’s a Smoker costume from Left 4 Dead! Don’t let him get you with that deadly tongue!

How To Create A Zombie Makeup Look

If you’re looking for an undead zombie look that isn’t so big on the ick factor, then this tutorial video is for you. Watch as Sarah step by step transforms herself into a pale white zombie with red eyes and black veins. While the look is still rather creepy it also has a sort of glam rock look with intense eye makeup. She keeps her lips pale white for that lifeless look, but creates a lot of dramatic lines throughout her face, especially around the eyes. It’s a great zombie look for girls who still want to wear a lot of pretty make up but still pull off the scary Halloween zombie costume.

Don’t startle the witch… or a girl wearing a Left 4 Dead Witch costume with super long scary fingers.

See, THIS is why they didn’t let you revive Aeris in Final Fantasy 7… she would have become a zombie!

Yeah, we thought Marvel was crazy for the whole Marvel Zombies spin-off comic, but at least it lead to an awesome Zombie Spiderman costume.
