Scary Women's Costumes

Whether hoping to be scary chic or totally terrifying, you've come to the right place! We've broken down our scary costumes for adults to highlight some of the best options for men and women. In this selection, you'll find an inclusive variety of scary costumes for women, and the following guide is here to break down the 500+ styles into approachable categories!

Let's start with the classics!

The first Halloween characters were meant to frighten the devil themselves! It makes sense that we've got a collection of devil Halloween costumes that'll make the ancient horror look themselves in the mirror! Shop sleek and sexy demon and devil costumes or traditional red robes and tunics that pair effortlessly with a devil horn headband and prop pitchfork. Or attempt spooking Halloween's patrons with fellow terrors like vampires, mummies, reapers, and skeletons!

Our available vampire collection has options ranging from Transylvania-inspired gowns to hip-hugging bodysuits, vampire caskets, and casual clothing that lets vampire fans celebrate the children of the night whenever they'd like. If vampires are scary enough, you'll find ghost costumes lurking in every corner of this collection. Try a ghost bride, a forlorn grey lady, or a ghost costume that looks exactly how you'd picture the spirits of a haunted forest.

Prefer modern horror? Look no further than costumes inspired by beloved movies and television! There are a thousand different reasons the wedding scene in Beetlejuice might unnerve a soul, and we've got vibrant gothic gowns inspired by the iconic Lydia Deetz red dress! Pair with a striped Beetlejuice costume for an easy duo costume! Just don't forget a strong red lip and a wild wig!

Of course, for many, Beetlejuice is just spooky, not scary. Scary is Freddy Krueger! But if you think the villain's torn sweater and loose-fit pants are a fashion nightmare, turn the look into a Halloween dream by choosing a Freddy Krueger dress to complete your Freddy Krueger costume idea! You'll still want the hat and blades, though. Luckily, you'll find hats in our accessories collection and pairs of foam-bladed gloves just waiting to be the sharp touch your look needs!

Looking for more scary women's Halloween costumes ideas?

Think War of the Worlds level horror and shop women's alien costumes. Or keep the fear factor to kid-friendly levels with monster costumes inspired by animated films like Monsters Inc. and Hotel Transylvania. Maybe consider the eeriness of a Grimm fairytale for inspiration or the classic pairing of witches and black cats. And, of course, we can't forget all the creepy clown costumes just waiting to make the neighborhood scream!
