Mummy Costume

Wrapped in bandages from head to toe, moving like somebody just escaped an ancient tomb. Mummy is one of those Halloween costumes that looks ridiculous until somebody does it really well. Then it's genuinely creepy. The wrapped-up look is unmistakable, and there's plenty of room to get creative with torn fabric, dark makeup, ancient-looking accessories, and eerie movements. Ghost has the simpler costume. Skeleton has the sharper visual look. Zombie brings the fake blood and chaos. But Mummy has that mysterious, cursed-monster energy that makes it feel like something straight out of an old horror movie. And if somebody stays in character all night, it only gets better. Can this ancient Halloween monster unwrap a surprise victory against the bigger names?
