straight jacket costumeHalloween costumes are so different these days. What used to be an excuse to scare each other silly is now being trampled by people who just want to dress in skimpy clothes and leave their inhibitions behind at least for one night. If you want to bring back how Halloween originally felt, you should try scaring everyone you see with an insane asylum costume. There are so many things that you could dress up as when it comes to it, like a mental patient costume, a mad doctor costume, etc. Here are a few suggestions for your scary costume for this Halloween:

Scary Halloween: an Insane Asylum Costume

  • Mental patient costume – of course, when you think of an insane asylum costume, you first and foremost think of the mental patient. There are many kinds that you can buy. There are those that consist of a colored jumpsuit, most often blue or orange, that are used as straight jackets. For a more hardcore costume, you can even opt to buy those that have straps that are wrapped around the top or entire body.
  • Hannibal Lechter – Hannibal is probably the most popular insane asylum costume that you can find. It consists of the same jumpsuit, only rather than being tied up like a straight jacket, this costume comes with its own restraints and muzzle. This is definitely going to spook some people that you pass by, especially if you pretend to be the mass murderer himself.
  • Simple straightjacket – this kind of mental patient costume consists of a plain jumpsuit with a straightjacket. This is easier to wear, especially since there are those kinds that are not really tied up, but only made to look tied up. This will make easting and going to the bathroom a whole lot easier. For women, they can opt to wear this jumpsuit, but there are those variations available that come with skirts, this is more feminine, but of course take away the authenticity of the insane asylum costume.
  • Mad doctor costume – of course, your insane asylum isn’t complete with someone wearing a mad doctor costume. This costume consists of a vinyl facemask, a vinyl printed apron with an attached t-shirt, and vinyl gloves. Don’t forget to also purchase a huge plastic chopping knife with blood detail to make this insane asylum costume more complete.
  • Props – the fun thing about dressing up in an insane asylum costume is that there are so many props that you can choose form. The most popular one would have to be the giant syringe injection with an aluminum finish. This will add instant evil to your straight jacket costume, be it a mental patient costume, an evil doctor, or an evil nurse. Nobody knows what’s in the syringe, but they sure aren’t willing to find out!

You’re going to have fun when you try and bring back the memories of your childhood when you dress up this Halloween for the purpose of scaring everyone around you. Don’t forget, bring the vibe of fear as you go out and enjoy yourself this Halloween.
