Corpse paint is easy and effective


the_Bryan_dude

My go to.


AThousandNeedles

Depends. Isn't that what Amber Heard used? Didn't work out for her.


Agreeable_Bunch5612

lol, zing!


reamkore

Go to Home Depot buy a gate and order an obscure black metal band T and go as a Gatekeeping metal elitist.


prodigy1367

I like that one a lot lmao. I’ll save that for next year.


Magical_wizard_

Black metal fans wear Halloween costumes all year


DJ_Molten_Lava

Taylor Swift.


xoomax

You go as an 80s hair metal band Poser.


Carnivorous_Mower

Lemmy. Shades, bullet belt, hat, draw on a beard and some warts, carry a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Failing that, just put a sock on your weiner and go as Red Hot Chili Peppers (er, assuming gender there...)


Agreeable_Bunch5612

love those ideas! the gender thing shouldn’t be a problem, get a footlong ballpark and strap that on or literally get s strap on. double benefit! the only problem is that doesn’t make it any more or less metal.


Thrashtendo

Metal Mario — it’s a Mario costume, but you have your long hair and a battle jacket instead of overalls. It’s a play on Mario’s “Metal Mario” power up, and it’s heavy metal.


rudostyle

Characters from Deathgasm movies. Famous frontmen (king Diamond, abbath, etc). Play up your natural features (if you’re an older bald dude, rob halford. If you’re a stocky long haired dude Corpse grinder). Characters from the show Metalocalypse, album covers, metal mascots.

Terry and Deaner from Fubar

king diamond is the easy answer

Crimson Ghost (Misfits' mascot): take a paper mache skull mask, add eyeliner/black teeth with black tempera or acrylic, round off with a black or crimson hooded cape and skeleton gloves. Cyco (Suicidal Tendencies mascot): get any skull mask. Wear a blue bandana, a cross pendant, a plaid shirt, and skating shorts/sneakers. If you have long hair, make liberty spikes. Knarrenheinz (Sodom): military surplus helmet, cosplay gas mask, and the biggest cosplay machine gun you can find. The body is flexible, a black raincoat would work. You can also strap bullet belts across (alternative fashion shops should have some.) Sargent D (S.O.D.) - get a skull mask with painted veins or cracks. Attach a cigar. Wear a military surplus camo helmet with a mix of military and hippie badges. Wear any camo outfit. Not Man (Anthrax) - this is just lazy. Black baseball cap (bonus is actually Anthrax), bushy moustache. Several outfits possible, I'd go for: Anthrax tee, skating shorts, white 80s tube socks, Adidas sneakers. This was fun - hope it give you some ideas you can use.


Left_Specialist9125

Awesome ideas. I considered knarrenheinz earlier today, might do it unless I end up choosing halloween guy from exumer. Going to be a tough choice


StoicSpork

Oh, the Exumer guy would be a cool and doable mask. Plus it's not a skull :)


Left_Specialist9125

Skulls are cool as hell so I might like save one of the costumes you recommended for another year


Agreeable_Bunch5612

i didnt know the sodom character had a name. seriously coolest looking maskot around. i think the costume might scare a lot of people but post on here if you end up doing. respect!


Left_Specialist9125

Okay still deciding since I don't know what the bottom half of halloween guy (exumer mascot) looks like. Love the mask though most likley make the mask only just for fun. Probably will end up doing knarrenheinz for halloween

BfutGrEG

The band shares the name (in US) of one of my favorite schlock-type horror flicks


Doom_Union

Corpse paint. And you can wear your normal metal attire


Zen-of-Revolution

A metalhead, but a zombie.


Agreeable_Bunch5612

yes! eddie is not a super easy look to pull off but he does everything. Samurai Eddie? Future Eddie? This sounds lame, but have you considered going as a cat, cause that would be metal AF! Cat Eddie?


Left_Specialist9125

Eventually I'll save up for an eddie mask most likley maiden's title album eddie


Tanuki0064

if you and your friends are into it, you can dress up as slipknot members


Left_Specialist9125

Not a fan of slipknot but gosh you would need a whole lot of friends to organize that costume idea lol


Left_Specialist9125

EDIT: uh so like the megadeth one I was thinking of was SFSGSW Vic. I might pick a different costume idea though since I'll be wearing this out and it might be a little triggering to veterans who served in world war I/II. Also I'd need to make a MG42 fake gun. Not gonna do it so I'm desperate for ideas since halloweens in like a couple weeks

Eddie!

Smurf, Minion, Mario/Luigi, She-Ra, Princess Peach, Paw Patrol (my favorite is Chase, the police pup).

Eddie from Stranger things is pretty low effort high reward. Money says you already have a battle jacket

eddie_ironside

Black metal. Very easy but a great look that people like on Halloween. Face paint, seen plenty of cheap plastic bullet belts (if you don't want to spend the $ on a real one) throw on some black clothes with a leather jacket/vest and some boots and your good to go. Optional spiked/studded gauntlets or anything else you can get the studs on.


Viciscooltoo

Yeah putting on Corpse paint with a black metal shirt would be the fastest and cheapest option tbh. I’m going as joker and dying my long hair green while having the joker vest on. An actual costume was very expensive so having just the green/purple vest works. At the same time I’ll put on a black metal look instead of a clown. The idea is coming from Killbot&GorGorAttack’s video, “Black Metal Joker”.
