Scary Kids Halloween Costumes

The Exorcist Regan Costume

It may be almost 50 years since “The Exorcist” movie was released, but Regan is still just as scary.

This costume is pretty straightforward. It just comes with the nightgown and vomit stains. You can buy a mask or do a DIY makeup look, which I think makes her look even more authentic. All you need is to get her to turn her head 360 degrees (if you have a teen, it’s not that unheard of).

$82.99 on Amazon


Carnevil Clown Costume

Bordering on super adorable and completely creepy, this clown costume can strike fear even in a tiny package. It comes with a shiny silver dress and cascading ruffles with red pom-poms down the front, silver gloves, socks and boot cuffs. Supply your own balloon.
