Reaper costume lines are pretty popular during Halloween, especially since Halloween just isn’t the same without visit from the Grim Reaper. This is one of the reasons why reaper costumes remain some of the most popular costumes around. The Grim Reaper personifies death, which has always been viewed as a dark and scary end to our lives. His cold touch, menacing scythe and bony, empty face is enough to send chills down the spines of even the most hardened people – definitely the image you’d want to portray when you don the robes of the reaper.

The philosophical discourse on death aside, it’s just plain fun to scare the bejeezus out of people by popping up in dark robes and swinging a bloody scythe all over the place. Bring a camera with you to capture their priceless expressions. Just remember to use a PLASTIC scythe with some FAKE blood on it. Swinging around an iron scythe with real blood could get you in trouble with the police, even in the spirit of Halloween.

You could also go 360 degrees with the reaper costume and take it in a different direction. There are plenty of cute reaper costumes out there, and even seriously scary Grim Reaper outfits and still end up making you want to squeeze them like no tomorrow. There’s probably nothing more huggable than a five-year old in a Halloween reaper costume sucking his thumb and asking for candy. Try to go easy on the blood if you want the little tyke to be cute, though, since bloody reapers running around the town can be a bit too creepy for their own good.

And of course, there are costumes for the ladies as well. The Grim Reaper’s scythe and dark robes of death are unisex; meaning that both men and women can pop up and scare the wits out of people whenever they want. There are, however, reaper costumes that focus more on bringing out the feminine curves and bewitching beauty of the fairer sex – definitely a plus for any of our lovely ladies out there that want to leave a good impression. And then there are the novelty reaper costumes. These costumes tend to play around the concept of death and darkness; focusing instead on a humorous, light-hearted approach to the Grim Reaper. For example, there are these reaper costume lines with gigantic bobble-heads.

These types of reaper costumes are more fun to wear and party around in, making them excellent for fun and entertaining events. Hey, not all Halloween parties have to be hardcore blood and guts to be fun, right? Whatever look you are gunning for – scary, cute, sexy or funny – just make sure you get the reaper’s costume right. A black motif is a given, since it is the color that defines the reaper. You can add other items and accessories, but the sickle of the reaper is a must with any costume. It differentiates the reaper from wights, specters and other dark spirits that look like reapers without a scythe.

The rest is pretty much up to your imagination and personal preference. Some costume suppliers go with the traditional skeleton-in-robes to portray the Grim Reaper, while other suppliers prefer to leave any features completely blank. The design of the robe itself is also up for grabs, as long as it drapes around the feet and the arms. That means face-paint, skeleton masks and even black veils all work for a Grim Reaper effect. So go ahead and see how it feels to play the Grim Reaper in your next Halloween or costume party – just make sure you come well equipped with the reaper costume of your choice!
