10 Lesser-Known Horror Villains to Dress Up as at Halloween

By Mark H. Harris, About.com Guide

Your Back Story: You're a 17-year-old bad girl who dresses in dark "goth" clothing and black fingernail polish and is rumored in school to be a witch. Your interest in the supernatural has led you to conduct a seance in a haunted house during which you become possessed by an evil spirit that causes you to kill those around you with sharp pointy things.

What You Need for a Costume:

• Black lace wedding dress with tiara
• Brunette wig
• Fake teeth -- sharp, animalistic
• Yellow contacts
• Silly Putty to build up Cro-Magnon forehead
• A boom box with Bauhaus' "Stigmata Martyr" cued up
• Roller skates

How to Act*: Set down the boom box and play the Bauhaus song. Do a seductive, twirling dance for someone. When you're finished, lean in to kiss the other person. If they reciprocate, bite them on the face. Glide around on roller skates, looking cool.

*For entertainment purposes. Use common sense, people.
