Circus Halloween Costumes
Imagine a circus on Halloween. The sky is dark before the show begins, fog hangs low around the tents, and nervous visitors keep an eye out for lurking cast members. The mad ringmaster could start the show at any time. All he has to do is pop out of the big top and introduce his spooky performers. A twisted clown with mischief glowing in her eyes would love nothing more than to make her audience scream with laughter. Give your circus-themed costumes a chilling turn with the costumes and scary accessories that embrace the creepier sides of the holiday!
Circus Clown Costume
There’s nothing inherently scary about circus clowns. They wear bright colors and do everything in their skill-set to make their audience giggle.

With your bright colored hair and maybe a few balloons in hand, there's a chance to give clowns the rap you think they deserve. Of course, you could also take it the opposite direction entirely….
