It’s almost that time of year when little imaginations run wild and children traverse the neighborhood in creepy costumes, squealing with delight at the horror that is Halloween.

And with so many costumes to choose from you could be here until Halloween. If you’re having trouble deciding why not start with a creepy classic like one of the halloween skeleton costumes? Halloween was, after all, originally a celebration of death.

Your little munchkin will look more adorable than menacing in the Baby Skeleton Infant/Toddler Costume. The comfy black romper features a white skeleton print on the chest, legs and little feet.

The attached hood is also decorated with a scary skeletal design – although there’s likely to be more people lining up for a cuddle than running the other way in fear.

The child who’s going through a ghoulish stage will love the Skeleton Zombie Child Costume. They can scare their younger siblings silly in the fantastic khaki coloured gauze shirt and pants bursting at the seams with a realistic looking rib cage and leg bones.

The outfit comes complete with skeletal gloves and a fantastic hooded skeleton mask for that “just risen from the grave” look.

Your pouting little princess will adore the Skeleton Bride Child Costume. Why just be creepy when you can be creepy and elegant at the same time?

The costume features a sickly sweet hooded bridal dress, layered with netting and showing off a silver edged ribcage. Add a black bouquet and she’ll be ready to walk down the aisle with her favorite undead beau.

When you’re a teen, not even death is an excuse for lacking style. Female teenage terrors will look fiendishly funky in the Skeleton Sweetie Teen costume.

The strappy dress has a black and white striped bodice overlaid with black lace, a tutu style skirt, black velvet bows and purple ribbon trim. Also included are skeleton print fingerless gloves, skeleton print tights and a very cute miniature top hat.

Most boys aren’t that fashion conscious. In fact, sometimes the worse they look the happier they seem to be. If that sounds like your son then he’ll love the Shredded Corpse Child Costume. The outfit includes a black shirt with a raised ribcage skeletal motif and tattered black overlay, a black rope belt and brown pants with tattered hems.

There’s also a shredded style hood that will have him looking bloodcurdlingly bad and smiling with deadly delight.

Skeletons might be dead but they’ve still managed to change with the times. If your son prefers to keep up with fashion trends he’ll be hip to the bone in the Bone Chiller Child costume.

There’s a very cool skeleton hoodie with green skull graphics reminiscent of a skeleton skater, green and black skeleton print fingerless gloves, and a gruesome green face mask. He can add his own skateboard for that laid back skeleton vibe.

If you’re child is a bit of a classic terror, one of these classic Halloween skeleton costumes will be the perfect launch pad for a traditional night of fun and horror this year.
