Dressing up as Freddy Krueger for Women (Nightmare on Elm Street)

Nightmare on Elm Street Secret Wishes Miss Krueger Costume
(Available in the UK and EU here)

I'm making my way through all of the horror classics I missed out on by virtue of not having been born yet, and last night was Nightmare on Elm Street! Freddy Krueger is one of the most iconic slasher villains of all time, and makes a fantastic idea for a Halloween party or trick-or-treat outing. If that sounds like fun, you need to check out the cool Secret Wishes Miss Krueger costume featured above. Each set comes with everything you need: the slash effect stripy dress, the fedora hat and the knife-fingers slasher glove. Pretty awesome!

Once you have the costume, you can really go all out by doing up your face with the same kind of burn victim effect which Freddy had. Above is a great tutorial on how to achieve a fantastic look using things you can get at any drug store, so check it out! If you want something quick and easy though, here is a Freddy mask you can pick up.
