While you’re brainstorming your next Halloween costume, I’ve started making a list of my favorite masked character. I thought up several fun costumes that you can do on the fly just by buying or making a quick mask. While masks aren’t for everyone, they are a simple costume solution that makes for entertaining fun at parties as friends and strangers try to guess your identity.
While I regularly try to find unique ways of making my own costume accessories, things like masks can be extremely finicky. So don’t worry if i you have to buy a pre-made mask. Some of the best masks can be found online for not very much.
Here are some of my favorite masked costumes:
- Zorro – What is more sexy than a man dressed in black?
- Darth Vader
- V for Vendetta
- Spider-man
- Cat woman
- Batman
- The Lone Ranger
- Mexican wrestlers
- Three Musketeers
- Venetian party goers
Other great ideas include belly dancers, day of the dead masks, Scream, and any character from a Sci-Fi film like Star Wars or Star Trek. The Phantom of the Opera mask is definitely a great look.
Who are your favorite masked identities? Is there anyone I haven’t heard of? I’m trying to make a complete list of masked characters and would love your input.
