Getting a Freddy Krueger costume can really make your fancy dress idea stand out this Halloween.
Sure, zombies and ghosts can be scary, but Freddy outfits are nightmarish, representing a true monster of the night who takes delight in making people scream.
Freddy was created by Wes Craven for his 1984 movie A Nightmare on Elm Street and has spawned a massively successful franchise since. His idea was for a fearless dreamstalker who kills his victims in vicious ways while they sleep, and is the epitome of the sinister, terrifying monster you really don’t want to meet. In the movies, terrified children binge on coffee and loud noise to stop themselves falling asleep because they know they may never wake up due to Freddy’s supreme power over them.
A Freddy outfit is unique; consisting of brown fedora, striped shirt, scarred face and knife-lined glove.
Every movie character needs a trademark, and a Freddy Krueger costume without a Freddy glove simply would not represent the scary Freddy Krueger we know. And best of all, if you’re going to a Halloween fancy dress party, all these costume parts are available to purchase, including a dedicated Freddy mask and Freddy fedora, so you can take your Freddy Krueger costume experience to the next level. Freddy Krueger outfits are truly one of the most customisable around, allowing you to really go wild and find new ways to explore his evil personality.

Better yet, a Freddy Krueger costume is a timeless Halloween idea, as moviegoers still consider him to be one of the greatest movie villains of all time: he simply doesn’t go out of date. Recently he starred in the movie mashup Freddy v Jason, which pitted him against the knife-wielding psychopath Jason Voorhees (if you’re dressing in Freddy Krueger fancy dress, get your friend to dress as Jason for the ultimate in movie fancy dress!). Not only that, but Michael Bay’s movie remake A Nightmare on Elm Street comes out in April 2010, so there is no greater time to show your respect for one of the scariest movie monsters of all time.
Let’s face it, that’s what Halloween is about - joining the ranks of the evil for one fateful night. And they don’t come much more evil than a movie monster that turns your dreams into tear and pain filled nightmares, making a Freddy Krueger costume the perfect outfit this Halloween. So grab a Freddy outfit, bulk it up with some great extras, and watch as everyone stocks up on coffee and Pro-Plus in an futile attempt to fend off the inevitable.
