Demands for Halloween costumes go sky-high almost a month before the most-awaited Halloween night. And the stores generously oblige with scary Halloween masks and peachy props to pep up people's Halloween guise !

Now halloween Halloween no longer remains a kid's holiday today. People of higher age-groups are equally ‘spell-bound' by the spirits of Halloween ! While men go for scary Halloween costumes, women prefer to charm in more feminine and coquettish costumes on Halloween. Greeting cards and Halloween decorating props also witness record sale figures along with Halloween party supplies and Halloween costumes.

Play a ghost !

The most common and easy-to-do Halloween costume—cover yourself with a white sheet and cut out holes for eyes and mouth. Other colors would also do; who said ghosts can't be colorful ? You can deck this one up more with red-colored spray paints or may be with a crooked hat.

Go ghoulish !

Get some macabre Halloween masks and spruce up the rest in keeping with the face you choose to give yourself. You can go for wolf masks or monster masks if you're planning to look scary. Alternatively, you can preen in celebrity Halloween masks or go for masks replicating your favorite cartoon character

Old is gold !

You can even choose a classic Halloween costume in antiquity theme—may be wigs, tattoos, headbands and other accessories which belong to older times.

Paint it scary !

If you've had enough of Halloween masks and the Halloween props for some years now, do something different this time. Paint your face ! You can choose to look either horrific or funny—but giving a face to yourself is going to be fun for sure. So be a Dr. Jekyll or a Mr. Hyde—the choice is yours !

Prop up the poise !

Just prop up your Halloween with the screamingly freaky Halloween props like body parts, tombstones, blood-stained axes, broomsticks, broken fences, distortion mirrors, detachable brains and hearts, batty wings, fog machines, bleeding knives and much more.
