Number 10-The Wolfman/Werewolf
Here's another costume that can go either way. It's either going to be a few extra days without shaving and some shredded old clothes or else the person is going to put some actual effort into what they are doing and put together something really impressive. There is no middle ground.
As far as being scary, the werewolf has it's share of successes and failures. Actually, I should say that while there have been some scary moments, most stories involving the werewolf/wolfman have been a pretty big scare failure. Probably too many writers taking the idea too lightly and not setting up situations that are scary.
Guess what, the same thing goes for the costume. Let your hair grow a little long, and your beard too. Put some hair on the back of your hands and put on some ripped clothes. That's all it takes, right? Wrong. It's going to take more than a bad hair day and some grungy old clothes to make this thing scary. It's going to take some acting chops as well. If you're going to go for this costume, you'd better make a commitment or your just going to be another lame character at the party.
