The Classics: Timeless Scary Movie Characters Costumes
Jason Voorhees - Friday the 13th (1980)
Kicking off our list is the one and only, Jason Voorhees, the hockey mask-wearing, machete-wielding juggernaut from Friday the 13th.

Michael Myers - Halloween (1978)
Next up, we have the silent, unstoppable force that is Michael Myers. Dressed in his iconic William Shatner mask and captain's uniform, Michael is a terrifying sight. To create this costume, you'll need a plain, white captain's uniform, a William Shatner mask (or a homemade alternative), and a kitchen knife (or a fake one, of course).
Freddy Krueger - A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Last among our classic scary movie characters costumes is the master of dreams, Freddy Krueger. Freddy's costume is as iconic as they come - a red and green striped sweater, a fedora, and his signature razor-gloved hand. To create this look, you'll need a red and green striped sweater, a fedora, and a DIY razor glove (be careful with this one, folks). Don't forget to add some fake blood and burns to complete the look.
