Freddy Krueger

Little Red Riding Hood
Freddy Krueger
Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street.
What I bought: shirt, glove, skirt.
What I had: boots, hat.
Easy-Hard: Easy- just buy and wear
Cheap-Expensive: Cheaper side- probably necessary to buy the glove and shirt, the rest can be use what you ...
This long sleeved worked perfectly for my costume! It was wasn’t very hot which I prefer, but looked great with the outfit. You can choose whether or not you want to cut it up some, I ended up not doing that in case I could somehow reuse it.
Red & Green Striped Long Sleeve
This glove fit me so well and looked incredible! It truly pulled the costume together and was good quality for the price!!
Freddy Krueger Glove for Adults
I already had a hat for this costume, but this one is very close to what I wore. I wouldn’t say this is necessary to the costume, but the good thing is fedoras can and will likely be used again in the future!
Black Fedora
Any black bottoms could work for this, but I chose this mini skirt. I love it and wear it all the time, plus I wanted something to make my costume more cute than completely realistic!
Black Mini Skirt
Thigh high boots went really well with the mini skirt I wore! I already had these before deciding on the costume and they worked perfectly! They also have options in different materials and colors in case you have a different vision than me!
Thigh High Black Heel Boots
I did not do a mask, the costume is definitely recognizable without it. However, this is the one I would recommend if you did decide to wear a mask!
Freddy Krueger Mask
Kesha
Kesha (the singer)
What I bought: black tshirt, blue extensions, blue lipgloss, face glitter
What I had: black skirt, fishnets, boots, paint
Easy-Hard: The Middle- there’s some painting and cutting the shirt and then doing hair and makeup day of. Not...
I got this simple, cheap black tee for my costume. I cropped it, cut off the neckline, and cut some holes in random places. Then, I got some gold paint and painted the Ke$ha dollar sign on it! Worked perfectly :)
Black Tee
I used this skirt (I already owned it) for the costume and have worn it many other times!! So simple and perfect :)
Black Mini Skirt
I got this 3 pack of fishnets a while ago and they worked perfectly. I think I ended up using the middle option, but all work well and are nice to have!
3 Pcs Fishnet Tights
Any black boot would be my recommendation for this costume, I wore the ones pictured because I already own them and they worked perfectly! These are also just my favorite boots so I highly recommend!!
Women's Knee High Boots
I probably should have gotten fabric paint, but I honestly just used gold acrylic paint for the money sign on the t-shirt and I think it turned out great!
Acrylic Metallic Paint | Individual Paints & Sets
I chose to use the teal blue clip ins to do my hair for this costume!! It was so fun and cute and I’m already planning another costume to wear these with :)
Blue Clip in Hair Extensions
This glitter was such a perfect addition to the costume! It added some extra fun and sparkle which I always love! I mostly used the gold glitter but loved buying the pack because it’s cheap and can be used for so many occasions!!
Body Glitter - 12 Colors
The blue lip gloss is the extra touch that I loved. I wanted to go as all out as I could on a college students budget, and for me that meant a fun little $5 lip gloss! Adding this on to the glitter and an eye liner/smokey eye look was amazing!
Blue Sparkly Lip Gloss
Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood
What I bought: cape, basket
What I had: dress, corset, boots
Easy-Hard: easy- buy and wear, minimal elements
Cheap-Expensive: cheap- a cape and use what you have with red and black
I try not to spend a lot of money or do anythi...
The main part of the costume is, of course, the red cape. I got mine from target and out of the options, I felt like the shorter one fit my costume more.
Red Halloween Cape
There are many options for what to wear under the cape, and this dress was my choice! It’s an Urban Outfitters dress I already owned, but here’s the same dress being sold on Depop. I wanted to wear this because it looked good with the corset and the ...
Red velvet mini dress with adjustable straps.

I couldn’t find where I got my exact corset belt, but this one is the exact same except for the color of the lace tying it up. I feel like the corset really brought together the costume and made it look like more than just a dress and a cape.
Black Corset Waist Belt
If you’ve read the rest of my list you know I’ve already recommended these, and I’ll keep doing it! I love these boots and since I already owned them that’s what I wore. I would recommend getting these, but the costume would work just as well with an...
Women's Knee High Boots
I love something that is cute, functional, and reusable, and this is it! Perfect for the costume and I used it as my purse for the night to carry around my phone, keys, and maybe even a drink!
Wicker Picnic Basket
