Spooky Halloween Costumes are an fun part of a successful Halloween party or Trick or Treat night. Since the holiday leaped on the calendar people have been fascinated by scary costumes like the mummy Halloween costume and the skeleton Halloween costume.
Kids in school have a natural interest in mummies as they are taught about these spooky creatures in school. Even the word “mummy” has an interesting meaning. Did you know it is an Arabic word that stands for black gooey stuff?
Also modern day wrapping of a broken limb was born from the wrappings of a mummy. How fascinating is that for a child . They can become a mummy with the help of a cool costume!
Skeletons have been scary for as long as we all can remember. Even the mention of a skeleton brings up mental pictures of scary dark graveyards with fog and spider webs.
Skelton costumes have been a favorite of the youngsters and old for eons and show few signs of slowing down!
If your child has fun with dress up, you may want to consider a scary Trick-or-Treat outfit that does not have all the blood and gore of the modern day costumes . I don’t know about you , but I would rather treat a Halloween Trick or Treater who is wrapped up like a mummy or who looks great as a skeleton, than one of these masked characters with blood oozing off their face.
For me mummies and skeletons are a great compromise between the kid who wants to dress up spooky and the mom and dad who doesn’t want to go overboard into gross .
Of course big boys and girls like to dress up for Halloween as well and there are mummy and skeleton costumes for big guys and girls as well. Have fun !
