Over the years, Halloween has become a time for ladies to dress in whatever costume they want – and yes, and that includes sultry costumes. If you’re familiar with Mean Girls, the iconic protagonist Cady says this about Halloween: “In the real world, Halloween is when kids dress up and beg for candy. But in girl world, Halloween is the one time of year a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girl can say anything about it.”

If you’re someone who wants the real deal – gory, ghoulish, and every other variation of the word “scary” reflected in your costume, we’ve got you covered.
Below, we compiled the best scary Halloween costumes for women; some are truly terrifying, whereas others are only a little. Some of them are makeup ideas that you can incorporate into your costume of choice, and you have all the creative authority to mix and match different costume ideas!
