Slenderman
As a gamer, there’s nothing quite as unsettling as seeing a tall, faceless, suited man in the corner of your eye, knowing what’s about to come next on your video game adventures. But can you imagine experiencing this in real life? For as little as $26.99 you can pick up a whole morphsuit, including the blank, white face. Gamer or not, you’re sure to scare everyone with such a terrifyingly unsettling character.

Team Rocket
While they probably won’t spook your friends in quite the same way that Slenderman will, for just under $70 each you could become the elusive Jessie or James from Pokemon’s evil gang, Team Rocket. Complete with a stylized wig and white ensemble, you’ll be totally ready to protect the world from devastation and unite all people within our nation.

Bowser
The official Super Mario costume for King Bowser at $65.99 is a sure fire way to turn heads at your next Halloween party. With an inflatable shell for the back and a full mask, all complementing the bright yellow jumpsuit, you’ll become a Super Smash and all ready to wreak havoc.

Chell
For the ladies out there, why not become the protagonist from one of gaming’s most puzzling games, Portal. For $83.99, the famous orange jumpsuit could be yours as you prepare to face GLaDOS and find your Companion Cube. While Portal isn’t exactly a horror game, you’re sure to strike fear into the hearts of any nefarious robots you may encounter on the year’s spookiest night.

Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde
With Pac-Man being one of the most famous games in the world, there’s actually quite a lot of choice on the market if you want to dress up as one of the characters. From around $40 and upwards you and three friends could recreate the four iconic ghosts from the game. Why dress up as a regular ghost on Halloween when you could be one of these guys?! There are even dark blue versions for after they’ve been poisoned by a power pellet.

Spyro
He may not be scary but the costume is so incredible, it couldn’t be ignored. This is one for the kids (although the larger sizes would fit a small adult), if you have a child and you can’t think of a decent costume, look no further. Your child can literally become everyone’s favorite dragon for just $34.99. They’ll love it, you’ll love it, and it will just be totally adorable.

Zombie Mario
Okay, so it’s technically not directly from a game but why be Mario at Halloween when you can be Zombie Mario? For around $40 you could buy the male or female version of the character with a tattered red shirt and bloodied overalls. Simply add some dull face paints and maybe some white contact lenses and voila: you’re a very dead Italian plumber.

Freddy
Sometimes the simplest and most pleasant things can be the scariest and Five Nights at Freddy’s is no different. Around $100 will buy you an adult unisex Freddy Fazbear Latex Mask and while this teddy with a top hat may look sweet to people that have never experienced the terrifying pizza parlour, those who have will jump out of their skin at the sight of you. Isn’t that what Halloween’s all about?

Master Chief
A strong-willed man on a mission, John-117 is an inspiring protagonist for many people out there and finding costumes for him doesn’t have to be expensive. It can, however, range all the way from around $30 to a whopping $800 depending on how much you want to really become Halo’s leading man. You’ll be sure to turn heads wherever you go this Halloween dressed as this guy.

Scorpion
A ninja warrior is always a great costume idea for any party, but turn him into an evil, undead one and you’ve got a winning combination. For around $50 you can morph into one of Mortal Kombat’s most famous warriors complete with armor, belt, and even the famous balaclava. No more awkward silences with you around: walk into any room and yell ‘Finish Him!’ – you’ll be the star of the show.
