How to Make an Awesome Zombie Costume

Zombies are pale and dirty looking.

A zombie is a dead person risen from the grave and driven to hunger for human flesh. Making your own zombie costume does not require an extraordinary amount of skill. In fact, with a few items from your closet and the Halloween shop, you will look like the living dead in no time flat.

Things You'll Need

• Old suit
• Old dress shoes
• Scissors
• Flour or powder
• Face paints
• Fake blood
• Fake skin

Instructions

1. Find an old suit in your closet. If you do not have an old suit you can find one at a thrift store. Cut the suit up with scissors to make it look tattered and worn.

2. Dust your suit with flour or powder to make it look old and dusty. You can also rub your suit in the dirt, or make grass stains on it. Zombies crawl out of their own graves, so the dirtier the better. Do the same thing with the shoes you plan to wear.

3. Use white face paint to make yourself look as pale as possible. Dust your hair and arms with flour or powder. Use red face paint around your eyes to make them look bloodshot.

4. Apply fake blood to yourself. Drip it onto your clothing too. You can also use fake skin to make it appear as if you have bloody wounds.
