Create a zombie angel costume by cutting the white angel costume and covering it with dirt and blood. Pull out several of the feathers from the wings and cover the remainder in fake blood. Give the wearer a pair of ripped dirt tights and a fake human body part for accessories. Finish off the look with zombie makeup and fake blood splattered on your skin.
