Gory Zombie Costume Ideas
Zombies are a popular choice for Halloween costumes because just about any character or person can be made into one. Zombie qualities include plenty of gore -- blood, ripped-up clothing, disheveled hair and gruesome cuts on the body. Whether you dress as the typical monster zombie, a relevant cartoon character or an everyday zombie person, plenty of creative options will make others believe you just dug yourself out of the grave.

The monster zombie costume includes accessories to make it look as though you just crawled out of a graveyard deep in the woods. Choose clothes that would have been worn 10 years ago, and then make them dirty and dusty. Tuck a few dried leaves in your sleeves, and poking out of your collar and pockets. Add paper mache body parts that you make yourself or purchase gory limbs and glue them onto your clothes. Face and body paint complete the costume with a mixture of red, blue, gray, black and white hues.
Everyday People

The office zombie costume features a suit and tie, briefcase and nice shoes that are ruined and soiled with dirt and blood. Mess up your hair, with a large amount of gel, so it looks as though a brush hasn't been close to it in years. Apply large wounds and bruises over the face. The disconcerting mommy zombie costume features a casual outfit that is ripped and torn, with blood dripping from the eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Smear thick, black eyeliner down your face and carry a baby doll.

A doctor zombie is especially daunting to look at. Purchase scrubs that are a couple of sizes too big, since a zombie's body decomposed while buried, and create deep cuts, unraveling stitches and open wounds all over your body. Use fake blood and gauze to cover up sores that are oozing with bugs. The fashion model zombie is created with a dingy, dirty white dress, a giant tattered hair bow and high heels. Bright, smeared makeup runs down the face. Your once-perfect walk has given way to a scary stagger.
