The spookiest day of the year wouldn’t be the same without a scary clown or twenty, and Hollywood seems intent on sprouting ever more cases of Coulrophobia.
Killer clowns have been the villain of choice in many a film these past few years and we’re totally here for them.
The creepy clown theme is conveniently perfect for awakening your creativity. The entire spectrum of colours is available to choose from when it comes to makeup and costume choice, while the decision to go with subtly sinister, blood crazed killer or somewhere in between is an entirely personal one.
The range of killer clown wigs on hand to complete your outfit also allows for free rein in accentuating the drama or adding a feminine twist.
