I know a few weeks ago I said cosplayers don’t do Halloween. That is for me still true. However, I never said I don’t like monsters, demons and creatures. In fact, I love them! And I do have a huge Halloween cosplay collection. Also known as cosplays which would work well on Halloween but I just wear all year around. As I am sure there is still a lot of people looking for inspiration these are my darkest cosplays.
Classic creatures
When we talk about monsters we mainly think about vampires, werewolfs, mummies or witches, but there is so much more out there. I tried to group my spooky cosplay characters by categories. This is my Halloween cosplay collection so far.
Monsters
Have you recently grown a tail? Horns? Maybe wings or a giant hand? Then maybe you are a monster. My Sakizou Devil has many of this features. And Velvet Crowe features a werewolf hand. She is considered a monster but she is actually kind of nice. Ririchiyo is a yokai or evil spirit. To be more exact she is an oni, which is the equivaelant to the european ogres, because japanese monsters can be as cool.
Vampires
Vampires are by far my favourite monsters and they deserve a full section. Don’t be fooled by their sharp teeth and their thirst for blood, in anime and manga they are often somehow friendly and sometimes adorable.
My vampire collection includes the lovely Moka in her inner and outer forms . She is a student in a monster school and she suppresses her real vampire self thanks to the rosario seal on her chest. There is also my Kindred Vampire from the MMORPG Forsaken World. And of course my Astharoshe, a vampire aristocrat from The Vatican Empire.
Witches and sorceresses
You need to cast some spells in Halloween. My collection of witches and sorceresses includes the evil Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, the classic green witch. And the sorceress Raven, which is in fact the daughter of a demon. You can also go for a casual version of Raven and still be as witchy.
Other dark creatures and characters
There is so much more out there. You don’t need to be a horned monster to be evil. Warhammer 40k has very good examples with their sadistic Dark Eldar as the case of my Wych. Also with their Chaos’s demons, who posess week and strong minds alike, like that of Miriael Sabathiel, a fallen Sister of Battle. And of course, join the dark side if you want to see real evil. Like tha of my Kylo Ren cosplay.
